Jul 10 2009For The Ladies: Twilight, The Board Game
I can't say I'm surprised there's a Twilight board game, but I can say that I'm a little disappointed nobody's bought it for me yet. DON'T YOU LOVE ME? Ooh, a review:
This game is terrible. There are trivia cards to do with the movie but the other questions are all depending on what you roll with the die or they ask us to write down what the other player's favorite animal, movie,band etc. They have absolutely nothing to do with the movie and they are pointless. I thought it would be like trivial pursuit and different categories about the movie scenes, etc. To accomplish a task you have to roll a die and depending on what number you get you accomplish the task. These are pointless tasks and are not challenging at all. A 2 year old could do that. This is coming from a person that has loved the books, movie and anything else to do with twilight. The game is not worth what you pay for it. The pieces aren't the best quality and the cards are flimsy. What a rip off. Buyer beware.
Oh man, that was way too many words for me. Somebody summarize it for me. I ordered two.
Thanks to Paul "the party animal", who was man enough to admit Edward is a hot piece of ass.

What's with all the twilight news?
Is twilight somehow geek related?
2. SecurityCop - July 10, 2009 7:31 PM
FIRST.
3. SecurityCop - July 10, 2009 7:32 PM
Crap.
Also, I think the writer has the hots for whatever the main guys name is.
4. Jeremy - July 10, 2009 7:43 PM
Ooh, whine, whine! Its an actual game instead of a shameless pitch for the movie! Wahhh!!!
Why don't you just watch the movie again if you liked it so much? This game would be perfect to have on the shelves if you're just trying to band a twihard chick, but doubt its good for much else.
5. Birr Crinton - July 10, 2009 7:58 PM
so you play this game in order to win a chance to be in the twilight sequel? and so then you plays this games when the winner are taking chances to be winning other than what acting skills? how about then they spacks up fours and puts them down for your turn.
I LOVE THIS GAME BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER PLAYED IT. i have only played it twice, and i hate it.

May the creator of twilight rot in hell with all those stupid enough to call themselves twi-hards.
7. Cassidy Grae - July 10, 2009 8:35 PM
I think the mayans were right when they said that the world would end in 2012. The proof is right here. Thanks Stephenie Meyer for helping us get a few steps closer to eternal damnation.
8. Daisy - July 10, 2009 8:45 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was drunk and having sex with Baja. He commented you are tighter than I remember, and your jugs are smaller too. Baja said - get off my back.
9. Cassidy Grae - July 10, 2009 8:48 PM
Wow looks like Daisy did her job already. HI TROLL!

12. Pathetic Otologist - July 10, 2009 10:21 PM
Hey, look, all the Twi-tards are finally realizing that Twilight and it's following books fail miserably in the franchise department~
SOMEONE HAS SEEN THE LIGHT!

16. PunsKillPeople - July 11, 2009 2:17 AM
@1- I very much agree with you. Can we please just try to forget that Twilight ever existed and go back to posts about D&D cakes and sewer worms?
17. Watch-303 - July 11, 2009 5:59 AM
GW how dare you contaminate my favorite site with this insipid piece of shit called Twilight!!!!
18. jaja - July 11, 2009 6:24 AM
I think we should destroy the Twitards...
19. NameFail - July 11, 2009 7:42 AM
Destroy all the "twi-hards" and then we can finally focus on the bigger issue, hunting down and bludgening Daisy with a stick
20. Pistol Pete - July 11, 2009 8:55 AM
We can rename the site to GeekologeezEdwardmakesmynaughtypartstingle.com
21. LoFiSciFi - July 11, 2009 10:24 AM

I saw this about a month ago in TJmax.
26. Spencer Schneider - July 11, 2009 1:12 PM
I read all four books and saw the movie. The books had merit but only for an avid reader who wants to kill some time. Funny how these books are just made for the girls who read dribble like the gossip girl books and will grow up to read mockerys to literature like Jane Austin and the like.
27. antmattmn - July 11, 2009 1:28 PM
Someone should send this to Yellowbird.
It did say for the "ladies" right?
28. Droocy - July 11, 2009 1:44 PM
Twilight has never proven itself to rise above a cult following of youngsters who believe romance can be PG-rated. They also believe they can be vampires, so...It goes hand in hand, I guess. The review for the board game doesn't suprise me, nor does the fact that a board game was created.
29. monketron - July 11, 2009 2:44 PM
this shouldn't be geekologie worthy. twilight is for little girls that dont know what love is.
30. Lenny - July 11, 2009 4:56 PM
The Twilight game is worthless? Who would've thought?
Twilight is for kids... please, Geekologie Writer, stop posting this garbage.
And the minute I see 'Monopoly: Twilight Edition' I'm going to Parker Brothers and collecting heads.
31. Bartleby - July 11, 2009 7:50 PM
I haven't read them and don't plan to - but every girl who tells me how amazing they are also says "I don't even read books but I just LOVED the twilight series". I think that speaks for itself.
32. Jaded Icon - July 11, 2009 10:53 PM
I still prefer Monopoly....
33. jaja - July 12, 2009 8:52 AM
@34 agreed
@GW - Are you okay ?
34. thecrazyamerican - July 12, 2009 11:49 AM
i say we stage a rebellion an.... what am i saying theres nothing to rebell agenst. JUST KILL THEM ALL!
35. jaja - July 12, 2009 1:05 PM
Srsly, GW, are you okay dude ?
36. You Know It's True - July 12, 2009 2:07 PM
@25, you were on the right track, this does indeed suck, but then you went and ruined it with the mybrute. How can somebody start off so right and end up so wrong [shakes head in shame]
37. Ciao - July 12, 2009 4:03 PM
lmao, this is terrible....honestly a waste of cardboard and ink.
38. hmm - July 12, 2009 4:27 PM
I thk GW is just getting lazy.
39. luey - July 12, 2009 5:11 PM
does the board sparkle?
40. Kcdilla - July 12, 2009 7:11 PM
Where's GW? Did he get abducted by aliens, or rather bitten by bedazzled vampires, and he now thinks he too cool for us?... Hmmmm... What a dillema. I miss you GW... Come back :_:
41. Captain Pelican - July 12, 2009 8:17 PM
I MISS GW.
</3
YOU'VE BROKEN MY HEART. :[
42. bman - July 12, 2009 9:22 PM
wwwwwwaaaaaaaaa I miss GW, he probably finally met his robot related death <:(
43. unashamedfelinity - July 12, 2009 9:32 PM
MOVIE?
are you kidding me??... the person who wrote the review doesn't even appear to be at all aware that there was a BOOK called Twilight quite a while before the movie came out..
personal pet peeve: when movies based on books become really popular and people refer to the movie without even remembering that there was a book. worst case scenario: when they don't even KNOW about the book's existence.
44. freeyourmind00 - July 12, 2009 11:02 PM
@46 Examples: Fight Club and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
@GW: Epic Fail. 2 days and no post. What am I supposed to do on the computer now?
45. benson - July 12, 2009 11:14 PM
im going to *PEW PEW PEW* all over GWs face if he doenst get some shit rollin
46. benson - July 12, 2009 11:17 PM
@46: twilight sucks
book and movie type
just an excuse for 14 year old girls to explore themselves and think about vampires
epic lame

Lay off the admin--maybe he's off having some alone time with the game. And some lube. Lots of lube.
51. Angel Mass - July 13, 2009 1:57 AM

@55
at least that's better than this twilight shit
seriously wtf? I can see how the tatoos were slightly interesting but f*cking hell, what has this got to do with us?
54. dbag hates daisy - July 13, 2009 3:27 AM
hey... wheres the new stuff? i was tired of twilight the day it came out in theaters!!!!
55. BeelzebubRules - July 13, 2009 3:42 AM
LOL...I'm the game's creator and a regular Geekologie reader...way to be all on top of it, since this game came out in, y'know, MARCH :)
And how about some of the positive reviews to balance out the one negative review? There's lots more of those. Damn biased journalism.
Ah, well. What are ya gonna do. I still love ya.
56. ehwha? - July 13, 2009 4:08 AM
So there for two or three days I was proud of the GW there were some decent posts that were interesting and in the classic GW style. There was one other twilight post but, it was at least thinly veiled as a jab at what losers twilight fans are. And then you stick us with this, for how long?. Im becoming leery of visiting this site in public.

Soooo, I take it nothing's happening at the mo then?
Either that or he's too busy cramming his face with bacon.
Hey, you over there. Stop eating bacon and write something funny. Preferably involving Star Wars, dead kittens and breasts.
60. Jaded Icon - July 13, 2009 7:46 AM
@ 58
Its becoming a little clearer now. If you are the game's creator and you bribed GW to write a review about it (i'm guessing in bacon and dino porn), then you would be there to reap the rewards of all the geek girls that frequent this site. Well played sir, well played. As far as all the nay sayers, I do understand that you may not like what GW writes about all the time, but guess what? You have an option not to read it! That's right! When you see the title about TWILIGHT, you can actually skip it and read one of the others! Amazing!
@ 62
In that order?
61. Nero - July 13, 2009 7:57 AM
Kristin Stewart isn't looking that bad on the cover!
62. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - July 13, 2009 7:58 AM
@63
dead kittens, breasts and Star Wars
63. Darth - July 13, 2009 8:00 AM
I guess the producers somehow admit that Kristin stewart can look better?
64. Galtacticus - July 13, 2009 8:04 AM
It's all about shadows.
65. Jaded Icon - July 13, 2009 8:16 AM
@ GFS
I prefer breasts and Star Wars (tied for first) and dead kittens in a distant fourth, with beer being a close #2 and whisky #3.

Good Morning boys N girls! First post I've seen in a week and it's Twitard-y... hrm...
67. Ollie Williams - July 13, 2009 9:20 AM
The comment the reviewer made that "the cards are flimsy" negated any further or previous credit to the review itself. Really? Cards are flimsy? No shit.
68. STOMPY - July 13, 2009 9:46 AM
The only vampires I care about are Lestat and Louis.
These twillight characters just seem to be a bunch of effing time vampires sucking away your life one lame arse book at a time...
69. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - July 13, 2009 9:47 AM
@Jaded
I like the way you think. #3 should be booze in general. Gin, Whiskey, Vodka, etc... They all make me happy.
70. BeelzebubRules - July 13, 2009 12:37 PM
@63
I wish I had bribed GW! I was pleasantly shocked to see my work on one of my favorite sites, but none-to-thrilled that it was the worst review that someone had posted...but I'm a fan of this site, so would expect nothing less :)
it's all love.

Whats wrong with you people?
I thought we where all over the
OMGTWILIGHTISTHEBESTTHINGSINCETHEIPOD and the OMFGTWILIGHTISTHESUCKIESTTHINGSINCEDISPOSABLECAMERAS
stages.
Its been forever and I am 17, and I still love all the Twilight books.The movie, not so great.They cut out my fave part.And I reference the books, not the movie.Every time.Anyway, If you hate Twilight so much, then you should stop looking at the twi-hard posts.Jeez.
laters.
72. Yoyoyo - July 14, 2009 3:12 AM
Robert Pattinson plays this alone at night. Then he takes two Ambien and cries himself to sleep. When he wakes up in the morning, he takes a photocopied photo of Stephenie Meyer out of a stack near his bed, defecates on it, then sends it to Mormon country.
