Stupid Maxim!

[helium3]

The funniest part about this story is that Wizards of the Coast pumped a couple hundred thousand dollars into Maxim in 1999 to advertise 3rd edition.

What goes around comes around, I guess.

That's hilarious!! Maybe they need to release a drinking game version of 3 Dragon Ante when 4ED comes out.

The guy who said he hadn't got laid at Gen-Con looked really disappointed, like he'd been the victim of false advertising.

"My God, what have I become?"

The Gencon Lovin video was funny. Own up, guys, I'm betting one of us wrote that love letter....

 

[Agamon]

I dont know, I thought this one was freaking hilarious!

Friends...Roamans...Nerds.

Now, that was funny. Obviously scripted, but funny.

Isn't that Blackdirge in the sword fighting footage near the beginning?

Nope, not me. But that was one of the guys I was fighting in the pics I posted on TB's thread.

Hmmm... Well, not that I care for Maxim, which is certainly a very informative magazine *cough* - but that's somehow silly, make fun of the people, who have pumped money in you - even if it's 8 years ago.

Well, at least the video could've been funny instead of boring.

Cheers, LT.

stupid video- " look at the nerds, look at the nerds ...haha hahaha ..."

and the nerds highlighterd/interviewd were pretty darned lowkey for con-nerds, the maxim folks could have tried a little harder.

If he would have asked me that question I would have responded with "Who goes to Gencon to get laid? I come here to play games... you must be thinking of spring break in Miami."

As I think of it, he was ripping off Triumph the comic dog pretty hard there... at least with the dog it would have been funny.

Five stars on all of those!

Five star Meh, that is.

That would have worked really well if they had gotten someone better and actually prepared some questions to make the geeks look dorky. Instead, they just seemed dumb.

I still love Triumph interviewing the fans on line for Star Wars.
