[QUOTE="F700, post: 6009277, member: 89378"] Actually, Kruhlik has mentioned before that they're paid to do the podcasts. That they`re pro D&D after being paid to play isn`t a matter of ethics - I have no doubt if they were paid to play the first time and didn`t like it, they`d have said so and not been paid to play again or refused to be paid to play. [COLOR="Red"]What makes you special so that you can ignore a moderators instructions? Answer: nothing. Don't do it again or you'll have a 3 day ban. Plane Sailing, enworld admin[/COLOR] As for "name calling"...do a Google search of wil wheaton is a douche. It returns 86,000 or so hits for a reason. As a public figure, he's open to criticismn, and since WotC has chosen to make him one of the public faces of their product his behaviour relates to that product and becomes representative of their corporate values. If you don't like douche bag, that's fine, I can go with hypocrite, liar, arrogant, egotistical, etc. Douche bag just sums it up nicely. But the fact is, as a celebrity - even a d-list celebrity - he`s a product, and reviewing his performance and behaviour is as appropos as reviewing any other D&D book or product. As for the subject at hand - the live PAX game - I found it less enjoyable than ever for the reasons I previously stated. Over-produced, too short, not enough story, way too much wheaton. As a marketing move, it failed. [/QUOTE]
