Vin Diesel & D&D

[Ranger REG]

Somehow I expected the actor who portrayed the "Boy Wonder who saves the Starship Enterprise" to be a gamer, so it's no surprise. Vin however was a surprise, and a cool one at that. I mean, the guy even know the proper pronunciation of "drow" (rhymes with "cow"). Gotta give him props.

Now if only we could get some female celebs to admit to gaming.

P.S. Step aside, Drizzt. Make way for the drow witch hunter, Melchor.

 

[D-Man]

I remember someone claiming that Angelina Jolie was a gamer, I'll have to ask her when she wakes up.

Lexa Doig from Andromeda played/plays D&D...

Let me do an AirWolf..

I'd hate for people to start thinking us gamers were hip and cool like Vin Diesel, next thing you know people will stop thinking we are all devil worshippers or that we don't commit suicide when our characters die in the game. Before you know it D&D will become a Xtreme sport and will start being covered by ESPN.

And this is a problem because...?

Another celeb who plays D&D - Wil Wheaton. Go to www.wilwheaton.net and check out the advertisement at the bottom right of the page. And yes, I shot him an email and he did confirm that he's a gamer.

Arrrgg!!!! My eyes! The pain! Aggggggccckk!

And this is a problem because...?

Because we have long built the image that is comfortable to us, a community where the pocket protectors and taped glasses belong to, and not be wedgied or swirlied by the jocks. If the jocks start moving into our territory, where will we go?

 

[Wolv0rine]

To the indoor sports arenas, which by then will have been completely taken over by gun fairs, cheap concerts, and D&D gamers. The jocks having moved into the traditional gamer-grazing areas.

John Kovalic has something to say about this over at Dorktower.

Robin Williams and Steven Spielberg play online war games.
they had a battle that lasted 7 months ...Someone else was also in that battle as well.
They wouldn't take phone calls during game times it was a very important metting time for them they said.
I believe they talked about it in a number (3 or more) interviews and even mentioned what game it was that they were playing. I forget what it was exactly. Word has it that they still play a weekly game or two as time allows for it.

A huge number of celebrities are hooked on EQ which has also led to some playing D&D. Rock stars too I believe ...wasn't one group asking Skip to sign their copies of the PH?

Food for thought,
Darius

 

[Negative Zero]

well, as far as rock groups go, you can bet money that Bare Naked Ladies are gamers!
