The Vin Diesel Interview on Conan (now with transcript)

[Psion]

Conan: But this was before video games. I started playing in the 70s. And, this was, I mean, I could have played Risk, Monopoly, or D&D.

That was Vin.

I don't think the tattoo was real, just makeup for the movie. And seeming embarrassed is closer than apologizing.

That was Vin.

You're right. I fixed it. thanks

Must have been painted on, since he wasn't exactly sure where it was. I'm pretty sure if he had the real tattoo, he would know exactly where it was! At least I'd hope so!

 

[Desdichado]

die_kluge, I love you too, man!

I thought Vin Diesel was pretty nice about D&D... but Conan for sure was poking fun at D&D all the time... didnt like the way he did it. Vin was just "cool" about it. Since he does remember the details and actually used the Melkor name on a fake tattoo means he really liked the game.

I must say thou... north americans are a bit obsessed with this being "cool" or not being "cool" thing.

 

[ES2]

all I know is now nerds like me who play this game are much cooler now then we used to be.

And to think it only takes one popular movie star to admit actually playing the game.

 

[Rel]

I must say thou... north americans are a bit obsessed with this being "cool" or not being "cool" thing.

It's because we're all so cool. Well, those of us who don't play D&D are cool anyway.

The D&D players are the cool people's employers.

The other link was moved to TV forum. Where this one will end up.

Conan repeats on Comedy Central at 6 PM, this should be in the next few minutes and it should be Friday's show. Not saying it will be BUT...
