(Not exactly safe for work, in that what the wiki is about isn't, but the page itself is)

Somewhat surprised at this. Not that someone thought up the name "Womb Raider" (sure a zillion people did), or made a parody porn film. But that the Tomb Raider wiki has a page on it with some amount of detail. A storm forced filmmakers to spend a night stuck in a remote location whilst destroying a set they'd built somewhere else? I don't personally care, but someone bothered to put that info in.

It's amazing what a little bit of footage editing can do, it looks really goofy when it's actually shown in the light. Then again, I guess that's how most horror monsters worked before they became CGI abominations.

Ok, so this started in Puerto Rico in 1995. I'd always thought it was older than 2nd ed 40k, but no, sustained fire dice and a zillion cardboard templates were first.

And it turns out it may have been started by someone who saw a movie that year and blatantly plagiarised the monster.

Awarding the opposing team a 1/2 point when you kick the ball over the goal would be an interesting change to Soccer (Football in the rest of the world).

Not actually a means of summoning something from beyond the bounds of time and space, honest.

Is that because it is something from beyond the bounds of time and space?
