[SPOILERS] THE BIG BANG THEORY Mentions Gary Con

zszree · Feb 27, 2015

Yeah. Watched the episode last night and my wife and daughter just looked at me while I was smiling SO proud they mentioned Gary Gygax and Gary Con. And I said, "Yes, I also know the name of the other co-founder of D&D. Who was from Minneapolis like us as well." =)

When he said Gary-con, I cracked up immediately and said "Gary Gygax!" and my wife looked at me like an insane person, then heard Sheldon mention Gygax, and a look of confusion came over her, and then he said he was the co-creator of D&D and my wife rolled her eyes at me (like Penny would) and said, "oh...".

I knew where the joke was going when he said "Lake Geneva". One of the nerdiest moments of my life.

I was actually reading through my 1e books while this aired last night. My wife and I looked at each other and smiled knowingly as soon as Sheldon said that.

Mainly because we had a player in one of the games I reffed at our FLGS back in Indiana who was a regular attendee of GaryCon. (Sadly, I still haven't been able to muster up the time to make the pilgrimage myself. Yet.)
