So, ya'll realize that Dead Man's Chest was reaaaaaally thorough in their research?

And like, th_nightengale meta'ed really much a lot about that dice game, Perudo, they were playing, it's historical accuracy, and how it relates to characterization of Will, [spoiler character], and [spoiler character].

Her post is here: so about them dice...

And we're pretty sure as to the dice-faces and to the bets that actually occured in the game, seeing as we've watched the game five times already (::covers eyes:: I know, shaddup), and took paper notes.

In other news, PotC:DMC looks REALLY FUCKING AWESOME on digital projector.

That is all.

*facepalm* And I just realized that I forgot to comment on the entry itself. I'm glad you read Perma's entry about your entry so you saw the compliment. XD;

I'm just so happy that there are other people who enjoyed the dice game scene as much as I did. Heck, at the time I didn't even *know* the game, but I loved it because like I've said above - the gamer in me could compare it to card games and such. I love how drama plays out in scenes like this, and that post helps me understand it that much better. I really think it was one of my favorite scenes in the movie.

And fandom can be so awesome. ^^ I don't think I can resist PotC fan stuffs like I was able to before... (but hey, you'll hear no complaints from me)

*nodnod* That's a lot like what I said in the post: It makes a good "movie game" because it hits a lot of basic notes with a lot of different people without the help of the Exposition Fairy. If nothing less, everyone can understand the importance of guessing "rightly" versus "wrongly" (quantity) in a game, and from that sense tension, if not strategy.

In terms of favorite scenes, I can't really tell you what mine is, as I haven't seen the first half of the movie so many times as I have the Perudo game, and so I'm a bit biased...However, I *will* admit that by viewing three, Perma was calling the game "my scene". Which made me do a very Hakkai "Ah heh. Right." XD

Any rate...if you come up with any other thoughts or any gamer friends who'd appreciate it, please do come right back to the post and set yourselves a-knocking. ^^ More I think on this, the higher the chances I'll actually end up writing out a Perudo game onboard the Pearl. Or something equally gratuitious and shiny. ^_^
