Particularly creepy is the skeletal claw in the background. eeesh.

Get Smart FTW!

That was my first thought also, Touya Akira vs Sai

"Mister Claw, is his name, His name again is Mister Claw..."

Don't fight the hand that beats you....

Actually, I kind of like that picture. It's a neat way to associate yourself with a favorite game.

I don't own this game . . . I wonder what this photo has to do with it??

Chuck,

Never said they were. I was replying more to Curtis' comment. Your comment just happened to get posted a minute before mine. I never even saw your comment.

A serial dismembering killer letting out an SBD. . . is there no limit to the depths on BGG?

Hey isn't that the guy that ate the canary....

I feel this way when I ask my wife to play a game and she suggests we play Life or Monopoly.

Awesome! I love it- the beer, the "Spanish version"...

This is too reminiscent of those awkward "happy family" pictures on MB games to not be a great parody. They made one mistake though: on MB pics, all family members always sit on the same side of the table. They never face each other.

Exactly what I thought. MB I´d say.

During certain game nights, people who suggest crappy games to play are punished by having a hand glued to their head.

Now that IS creepy.

Did you have a bowl cut?

ya! no, not anymore. But back in the day when THIS game was being sold, i probably did, im sorry to say.

For what it's worth, the game was actually pretty fun. You got to move the dripping monster around, and as he moved around town his slime would drip down on the streets, and players could no longer move on streets that had been slimed.

You would try to box your opponents in, until you could actually make the monster "slime" ON THEM, to know them out.

Then i also remember that the players could buy a trampoline kind of thing, that once you had it you could slide it under the monster's foot and try to tip him over, to kill him.

it was original, at least!

I disagree with you on the kids looking normal. they look as creep as the slimes. Almost like their brains were replaced by slimes.

The kids scare me more than the monster.

I think that is derk's hand. I'm pretty sure that's my picture and card table.

Remember when Trippie asked if any C4 operators played boardgames? Well here we have photographic proof that auto mechanics do? Still I'd have expected Grand Prix or Mille Bornes.

OK, Aldie, if thats not Derk's hand distorted by some 'jpeg arifacting,' then we have some kind of artifact that is being displayed over the gameboard that appears to be a decomposing hand. Let's get to the bottom of this one so I can sleep tonight.

After all this talk about zombies, you'd think someone would note the game is named "Carcass"onne. Now that's creepy.

What about this one?



Fooooooooooood.....

do you 'suppose' that this should have been called: "teh ghey HELLGAME"? Since they are 'telling SECRETS'~which is NOT 'nice' in front of 'company'~we can ONLY 'assume' that they are comtemplating "coming OUT of the 'closet'!" in this instance, hmmmm? I can just 'imagine' how the 'recipient' of this little 'tete'-a`-tete' is 'thinking'~
"I am NOT 'totally'-just a little 'BI'!"~ya think?

pwned?

He looks like that Mind Freak guy on A&E.

Ouch

I usually just skip Roberts rants, makes life a lot easier.

Oh, yeah, this was the first picture that came to mind when I saw the title of this list!

Not even close, Lost Cities-behind-the-cards-girl for the win!

I've seen a fair few videos with people who look like them on the internet but they always have fewer clothes and moan more.

It's Shaggy and Velma playing Strip Heroscape.

Lay off the crack!

And whats this bright blue fluid in the glass on the right? Looks like some of those chemicals in B-Horror movies.

I smell a conspirancy

Apparently it happens more often that games make people act weird.

hey L'Eggo my Eggo!

Stop picking on the Eggster.
Actually, I just wanted to say L'Eggo my Eggo at least once, in reference to Eggo, so L'Eggo!

LMAO!!!

I'll field this one: That's no magician--that's Mr. Yang! The inverted lady below him is Madam Yin. Together, they make up that crack team of superspies, the Black N'Whites. Mr. Yang can incapacitate any enemy with one flick of his black diskamobob, while Madam Yin (her husband is presently off somewhere on an Alpine expedition, so there's lots of sexual chemistry between her and Yang) is able to decipher any cryptoquote or obscure message merely by shining her white diskoder beam on it. Both of their devices also function as walkie-talkies and morning after birth control devices.

HE only 'plays' a "Magician" for the 'coverart' of GAMES, in "real life" he's...
..."Dirk Diggler"~male prostitute and part-time 'Porno KING'!
NOTE: his 'consort' in the upside down 'position' of this, or is that 'known' as "the Missionary"?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Can't stop laughing!

I think that's actually new Colon Blow.

I have played boardgames on multiple occassions with Friendless Jr and can confirm that not only is he a great kid, he is also very good at most of the games I've seen him play. He is blessed with dice too.

I remember games with this weird kid and his weird strategies. He'd come up with the most bizarre strategy based on odd logic, and still come out on top. Hoity Toity was one particular game I remembered.

Miss gaming with all you guys.

No-one can have that much fun playing Doom

No-one

Agreed. This picture makes the game look really cool. "Layout is as big as your kid!" would be a good subtitle.

I think the cereal bowls are a good idea too, and I'll bet anyone who finds them "creepy" is probably not really geeky enough for this site

You mean that thing doesn't come in the box!!

I will have nightmares about this pic for the rest of my life now

The existence of Darth Maul is no more or less provable than the existence of anything else.

I think he doesn't exist, but I could be wrong.

He's rehearsing for the new Star Wars adaptation of Hamlet. He's holding Yorick Maul and saying, "To be or not to be . . ".

Man, board gaming in and of itself is kind of dorky, and cosplay in and of itself is kind of dorky...

but combining the two? Oh MAN.

-hx

Oh I see...DADDY LIKEY!

Those were the days...

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

It's his arm-hand that does it. Behind his head, leaning back, enjoying himself! You've really gotta wonder what the artist based this on!

I just bought this game on eBay purely because of this Geek List!

Why does this picture remind me of the Seinfeld episode where George is briefly a high-class hand model?

Well, actually this is one picture that really pushed me for buying this game. I knew it was good game, but when I saw that you get "real" one ring....
...
Imagine my surprise when i opened the box....

Actually the real frightening thing is that on the lord of the Ring official site the rings are like $500.00.

I love LotR but excuse me - do I need a $500.00 reproduction of the one ring? Who buys these and why?

This is the most Freudian picture I've seen on the Geek so far.

They should make a Gay porn version of Lord of the Rings.

They would call it "Lord of the Rings"

That's the ring that Iron Crown Enterprises would mail to winners of Middle-Earth CCG tournaments! I always took third place, and have a bunch of the coins they'd give to third place finishers.


Is the person in the photo flipping their middle finger?

Nice!

All police interrogations should be conducted over a nice, civil boardgame.

Easily explained. This is an unfinished game (look at all the unclaimed territory on the right) late at night (notice the glassy eyes). Obviously, they had been playing some kind of RPG (eight sided dice at left, previously noted) which typically takes hours on end. They then wind down the night with a game of TrR. [Yes, I have watched CSI countless times.]
