[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 283888, member: 2804"] [b]Vin Diesel plays D&D![/b] Check this out: IGN had this on their site: [url]http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/366/366020p1.html[/url] Here is the text of the article for those who don't want to click: --------------------------------------------- I guess you could file this update under: Something Steve Considered Interesting, So He Thought He'd Share It.
