Toenails - 2009-04-21 When I played D&D my DM had no problem with letting us call our shots. Of course he slapped us with a -7 to -13 modifier to our attack roll and made our character receptive to an Attack of Opportunity.
He really enjoyed seeing us fail.

Rape Van Winkle - 2009-04-21 That's all of them, Toenails. Even with the kind ones, it's only a matter of time before the god complex takes hold.
Which is why I'm starting a game.

I remember a professor of mine was a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer also a one time member of the Olympic Weightlifting team. Nerds who can effortlessly break your neck are mocked at your own peril.

They were laughing at him at the beginning, but he won them over.

Let me tell ya Vin, it sucks playing now in this world with the technology.
D&D story time:
new guy to the game, never played a tabletop. GM says, "Ok, you've snuck up to the fortress. On the front door are what looks like two guards."
New guy: "I try to aggro just the one guard closest to us."

Plus he just drops the word "antithesis" into a conversation. NEEEEERD!

Okay, so, my respect for this man just tripled.
That's not saying much, but, it happened.

Rape Van Winkle - 2009-04-21 I remember right after XXX came out, he was on Conan, and explained how he worked the name of his D&D character (a dwarf) into the fake tattoos he had all over his body for that film.
He wasn't slow and thoughtful in that interview, the way he is in this one. His voice took on a higher tone, and he talked about nerd shit with excitement, the way a true nerd would do when not being observed.
I know how you feel right now, because I felt that way right then.

eatenmyeyes - 2009-04-21 It wasn't a dwarf. It was a Drow Witch-Hunter.

Rape Van Winkle - 2009-04-21 Are you absolutely sure?
I wonder if I turned that into a half-assed acronym in my head over the years.
Source?
Not being a Jew, I just actually want to know.

TheDevilsDictionary - 2009-04-21 He's right, according to this transcript.

I was going to say this was surprising, a gentile on Shoot Out, but I did a search and it turns out Vin Diesel is Jewish.

He has always come off as a pretty down to earth guy to me. One of his Jay Leno interviews kind of sold me on that. ...and yeah, he has muscles and can probably get laid whenever he wants. I don't think he cares about anyone calling him a nerd.

I still say he's gay as a picnic.

Chancho - 2009-04-21 Shhhh, it's a big secret!

I'm going to five-star this because Vin Diesel is the D&D nerd we all wish we could be.

EvilHomer - 2009-04-21
Uh-oh.
I think I just developed a gay crush on Vin Diesel. :( :( :(
Also, Vin was a bouncer.

Believe it or not, Europeans have no societal stigma against roleplaying. This is why the fundamentalists fear the rise of socialism... we might all end up rolling d20s without shame and fear of reprisal, and they can't have that.

Vin rocks.
Sure he's made some poor movie choices, but even his bad movies are better than the crap Tom Cruise does.
I think he got some bad rep because he dared think he's as good as Tom.
|
oogaBooga - 2009-04-23 He dared - and was right. If vin diesel buys into scientology it's all over. He's going to jump onto a surfacing submarine, rip the hatch off and start unloading nuclear justice for the C-ORG.
