“Because this is the Internet, every argument was spun in a centrifuge instantly and reduced down into two wholly enraged, radically incompatible contingents, as opposed to the natural gradient which human beings actually occupy.”
– Tycho fromPenny Arcade
Long story short: Gabe and Tycho, the guys who make Penny Arcade and Scott, who makes PvP, are playing a game of Dungeons and Dragons being run by Chris Perkins from the R&D section at Wizards of the Coast (who make D&D). They recorded those sessions, and put them online as podcasts. Even if you have no interest in D&D, these guys are hilarious, and the game only gets better when Wil Wheaton joined in. An example of the funny: Gabe is playing an egotistical wizard named Jim Darkmagic, and in the course of literally every battle, manages to light Scott’s dwarf on fire. Over time, it becomes a running joke that when they enter a room, the first thing Jim does is light the dwarf on fire. If you enjoy Penny Arcade, PvP, or Dungeons and Dragons, you owe it to yourself to listen to these podcasts.
