DM of the Rings

If you're a huge role playing game nerd, you might get the jokes in DM of the Rings.

It's a retelling of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, as if it's being played as a game. Not the best game, really. It reveals the folly of role playing games, which are fun to play, but probably really tiresome to watch/listen to. Which would support Mr. Ebert's claim that games can't be art, because the interactivity can derail the most well-crafted storyline.
