The New "Face" of Gaming...

[Kaodi]

I would take Bieber, for a couple reasons:

1) I do not really know anything about the Jonas Brothers.

2) Bieber is Canadian. I am Canadian.

3) There is nothing really wrong with Bieber himself, I think. Though, in fact, he may be the only part about the Bieber phenomenon that is not cringeworthy.

4) Bieber made a name for himself on YouTube. His New Media savvyness marks him as having a high probability of being geek material. And while being one kind of geek does not automatically make you any other kind of geek, there is a great deal of correlation between the various sects.

5) He is still a kid. Last time I checked, children are not generally held to the same degree of responsibility as adults. Bieber cannot help being a teen girl magnet. The Jonas Brothers, however, being adults, could easily exile themselves to the wilderness and thus do their many detractors a great favour without missing out on any schooling or life building experiences.

6) Bieber could work as a bard. How useless, on the other hand, is having to have two people to exercise one set of class features?

So... if one of these two suddenly came out as an "avid" gamer... who would you rather have to bear being associated with???

Mel Gibson.

Beebs plays 4e, and goes by DracoSuave these days.



-O (who totally swears he had nothing to do with that)

So if Bieber of Jonas is going to be the new "Face" of gaming, who will be the new "Hannibal" of gaming? The new "Murdock"? The new "B.A."?

Don't you think that 100,000 screaming girls will start playing D&D or at least looking into it? Not that I necessarily want a bunch of irrational girls playing D&D...

There are times when playing with a bunch irrational girls is an improvement.

Never heard of either of them and I'm too lazy to Google them.

I had to look up both those names. Well, actually, I didn't have to. But anyway.

Plenty of names I would probably place before either of them, now I did go and wiki+google 'em. Thousands. Maybe millions.

Oh well. As you were.

Ok, now I don't feel so bad. I had no idea who these were either. Maybe when my wee ones are a bit bigger I might have a clue. Maybe. Probably not.

I vote for Lemmy, complete with his coca-puff.

To answer the poll ... Bieber ... because he has little girl arms.
