How sad for those poor trolls. They remind me of a certain group of individuals, who seem to number in threes. If only I could remember their names...

And so the propaganda begins... err, I mean, continues....

But that video was incredibly gay. Especially the narrator.

Hahaha Okay, Davis and I have to make a video now. We've been talking about it for awhile. Its a must. That video could have been spruced up a little bit.

ITS 4E for heaven's sake. It should be a HUGE deal.

Try to hire a bodybuilder for the narrator's role, instead of a whimp...

That would be so sweet (Kevin Smith would probably find it funny as hell, wonder what his rates are).

Movie playing intercut with shots of Jay and Silent Bob holding cue cards "Grappling with trolls is a bad idea", "That's gonna leave a mark", etc

Make sure you kill at least 4 wizards during your short film so they get the point.

Yeah, while the video was bizarre/funny/low quality and I liked it, complete with the weirdo narrator, it did seem to be unflattering to gamers.

And the presentation by those 2 guys onstage was pretty awful. Even if I like the game, I would have been extremely disappointed with that presentation. The audience reaction was very low key, as many of the Gencon attendees here have mentioned.

[Oh, and that "better, faster, stronger" reference from the Six Million Dollar Man was pretty lame]
