  3. The minor annoyances thread

    You know what's the most frustrating thing ever? Having a beautiful, sexy woman on your bed, the only thing covering her nude form is your bedsheet, and she's playing D&D with LordKat right now. Only you can't touch her, because she's married; talk to her, cause she's gaming; or try to ignore her because she's on your laptop.

    Tom, when you told us about this at the convention, I was kinda meh on it just on how you undersold it. Seriously, this is really good. Seriously, you and your co-producers deserve at least an A or a 90 or whatever weird British standard there is.

    Because that was fun. And funny. And brilliant. Well done, indeed.

    Linkara is claiming he has decided to end his show:

    I've come to a conclusion that, in light of recent events, and just how I feel about the show, that I don't think i'm going to be doing reviews anymore or i'm going to take a whole new/different direction of the show, so, I hope there is no hard feelings. You'll still be able to watch all the old episodes though!

    He claims he will have an episode up in a few days to explain the situation. Facebook post source.

    I'm not saying you're wrong (yet), but there is nothing on his blog or his twitter about it and his Facebook page is a fan page run by someone else.

  10. The "I need to vent" thread

    Strap yourselves in folks, this is a long one.

    So, independent on the E-2 gathering here in Chicago, I had planned to meet up with another group of geeks to play my first game of D&D ever. It was supposed to happen on Saturday night at their hotel, which is only about a mile and a half away. Fine, I figure. I'll walk there, we'll be done by 10:30 and I can get back with the rest of the group and enjoy the Brits vs. Yanks for the International drinking bragging rights trophy.

    I walk there, having both texted and called first and getting no response. Turns out someone had wrenched their back and needed a day of rest or so, someone needed a good nights sleep, and the guy who would be running the game (aka the DM) went out drinking with J.K. Woodward (artist for Peter David's Fallen Angel). So I'm in the lobby for about 15 minutes waiting for someone to tell me what room they're in and I get that update. Not having correct change for the bus, I walk back to our hotel, getting asked for spare change by about 30 homeless people. 3 miles after the con, and ostensibly nothing to show for it. But that's not why I'm pissed.

    Having met up with the group after they had eaten, we went out trying to find a karaoke joint. We settled on a bar that charged us $11 per drink and no karaoke, so back to the Brits room we went for more recreational drinking and dialogue (By the by, the drinking contest ended in a draw for reasons I won't get into). During the very fun dialogue, things came to light that are embarrassing to some of the people in the room, myself included. But that's not why I'm pissed.

    Sunday, getting to the con was met with a thunderstorm, so Stavros and I were soaking wet and freezing waiting for the next shuttle to come around 30 minutes later. Mike was exhausted and couldn't make it, so I took it upon myself to record a couple of panels for the c2e2 episodes of The Show. In between panels, I ran to the food court and grabbed a quick bite. After the meal, I ran into one of the geeks I was supposed to play D&D with and she was sitting with Doug Walker (The Nostalgia Critic), Rob Walker (That other guy with the glasses), and Brad Jones (the Cinema Snob). I was dying to talk to them for a few hours about shitty movies, but I had to get back to the panel. But, yet again, that's not why I'm pissed off.

    After the con, I offered to drive Damien to Union Station, as I had a rent-a-car. Couldn't find my ticket, so parking ended up costing me $90. Then, my mental compass apparently fritzed out because I nearly got us lost trying to find someplace we had walked to just a couple of days earlier (Again, Dubs, I'm so very sorry for that. Add into that the fact that I suck at city driving, and yeah, I was frazzled. But that's still not why I'm pissed.

    So, I finally got to play in my first session of D&D. It was great fun, except that one of the female players was having a problem with the dungeon master. It got to the point where she had to leave the room when it wasn't her turn. I knew something had happened on Friday night because one of the other players punched the DM in the ear (with the DM's permission) and not-so-subtle references were made that he completely deserved it, although no one was saying the whole story.

    Now, here is why I'm pissed. After the session ended, with me shaking the DM's hand and thanking him for running the game before he left, I found out what happened. The DM was sharing a room with the female player and went out drinking. Very blitzed, he came back to their hotel room, crawled in bed with the girl, and attempted to rape her. It's 5 hours later, and I still want to punch him in the nuts, slam his head into my knee, choke him out, remove his clothes, and throw him out into the street with the rest of the trash.

    I demand pictures from the convention of all you troublemakers.

    Between Adham photographing everything and Ian busting out his microphone at the drop of a meal, I believe we will have are activities very well covered. Too be fair, though, no one has done anything outrageously stupid...yet.

    Lethal Weapon: Who knew it was a Christmas movie? And who also knew that apart from Gary Busey, it was a boring pile of shit? Not me, that's for sure. Crap dialogue, Gibson and Glover don't actually feel like friends, and just almost boring to watch.

    Watch the second one. Far more fun (minus Joe Pesci) and they actually feel like friends.

    Right, Adham is definitely going to C2E2 now that his flights have been confirmed. Does anyone have a list of the current hotel arrangements and whether someone's still looking for a (wacky!) room-mate to split hotel costs with?

    First Edit:

    Room 1 - Will, Will's Friend, Kellen, Hannah

    Room 2 - Me, Damien

    Room 3 - Preston, Michelle AND NO ONE ELSE (aka the sexy naked fun time room)

    Room 4 - Ian, Stavros, Adham in the tub (aka the sexy naked British fun time room)

    Unaccounted for:

    ?

    I have no problems opening up the floor to a person as long as they are willing to split the bill, but Dubs will also have to approve since he called dibs.

    As we're getting down to the wire here, I say we go ahead and start working out the boarding details. I've booked a 2-bed smoking room from Thursday to Monday if someone(s) want to split the tab with me. Also, I'll be there a couple of days early to visit family and will have a car available to pick up and drop-off people if necessary. I will NOT be a designated driver, however, so don't even bother asking about that.

    I got hacked hardcore. They got into my twitter, posted some horrible shit, changed my background (For the record, I'm not black, my penis isn't that big, but my tits are way bigger), tried to get a free PS3 from E-Bay, and fucked my harddrive 9-ways to Sunday.
