Regarding Conan's insensitivity: Since you mentioned you don't watch his show much, I can tell you he spends half of an average show making fun of himself. He really rips on himself sometimes. So I have no problem when he makes fun of something I cherish, because I know he doesn't mean any harm by it.

When Owen Hart aka the Blue Blazer died, he commented that the Blazer's partner the White Pullover was unharmed. That got him a lot of flak so he apologized the next day.

I thought Conan was a gamer anyway... maybe not.

Anyway, Conan was the writer for the Simpsons episode where they did the D&D quip, when Homer goes back to college and is slain by an elf.

I'm pretty sure that was Craig Kilborn. Entering the names "owen hart" and "craig kilborn" together on Google turns up a few references to this.

Wasn't there a thread a while back listing all the celebrities who game? Anyone remember any of the big ones?

The only ones I can think of offhand are Hal Sparks (comedian and actor on Queer as Folk). It'd be fun to game with a comic.

And of course, Rivers Cuomo from Weezer, who not only name-checks the DMG in "In the Garage", but said in an interview that he randomizes his set lists for concerts by rolling percentile dice on a "song table". That's just awesome.

I suspect that the map on the inside of Pinkerton is from a game of his.
 

Have to pull this out every time good old Vin is mentioned, he is really trying to ruin gamers reputation with all this "I'm cool and I game stuff". I'd hate for people to start thinking we were cool or hip or that we didn't live in our parents basement and have no social skills. Thanks Vin your really ruining decades of tradition here.

You're right. I can already see the beginning of a trend. When I mention I'm a gamer, women start watching me curiously - I even got my first girlfriend now! What's up with that?
