Barney Stinson Gamer?

Mark · May 5, 2009

I saw some old footage of Barney Stinson when he was in grade school that seemed to show him with gaming books, dice and miniatures. Can anyone verify this?

How old could the footage be, the show's only in it's 4th season...

Well, it was on my DVR from yesterday?

Cool, I chose to watch 24 at lunch today instead of BBT/HIMYM. I'll check it out.

Apparently they didn't do their homework. 12-year-old Barney was playing with relatively recent plastic pre-painted D&D miniatures. That's all I've read about so far, the episode is on my DVR. If I get out of work sometime today I might have to watch it.

Isn't that show on Hulu? You could also check there to see what they had.

I'll confirm what Mark saw, that Barney was gaming using some kind of gaming books and some kind of minis in the flashback scen to when he was in "junior high" and was told about the goal of "100 women". I had to rewind it (DVR) for my wife to confirm!

Is this in reference to Neil Patrick Harris and Who wants to be met by your Mother?

Yes

(I have not seen the episode in question, but from the context I'm drawing that conclusion).

We watched it last night and I'm pretty sure those were DDM minis being used at the table. It was via antenna because Dish Network sucks and lost my CBS, so it was hard to confirm what was on that table.
