D&D

Three things I didn't know:
1. D&D has made upwards of 1 billion dollars.
2. D&D has survived 40 years of being a niche cult favorite.
3. Fantasy movies like the Lord of the Rings can lead people into picking up addition fantasy stories/books/games.

Two opinions:
1. This article is a mess. It's like a summary of Dungeons and Dragons throughout history but for some reason they mention the Hobbit in the title? Are they saying there should be D&D movies? Because there were. Three, in fact, though two aired on SyFy. I'm just...not getting the connection. Whatever.
2. COMMUNITY MENTIOOOON! The Dungeons and Dragons episode is probably in my top five favorite episodes of that show. It's a episode that should definitely be watched and a great way to introduce someone to the weirdness that is Community. The complaint that the one (I don't know what they're talking about by the way. There was only one pre-established D&D player in that episode, Fat Neil) player was overweight is ridiculous, by the way. The fact that he's overweight lends to the storyline, which at its core is about the depression of said Fat Neil.

But I digress.

One question:
1. SERIOUSLY!? What was the point of this article? I just...ugh.
