Okay?

You've never even had a girlfriend.

Yeah because i don't like to be tied down.

How many times do i have to say that?

I'll leave my character so

you can play him as an NPC.

Kenny, wait, wait, wait,

just hear me out.

We have know each other for

a long time.

and i say this as a friend.

Shelley is a b*tch.

Goodbye Scott.

NPC? Borgus the mighty

is f***ing dead!

Hey Tim, it's Scott Wiedemeyer.

Listen, i've got some

great news for you.

I had to let one of my

players go today...

And i've been lots

of applications,

But, i wanna make sure you

get the first crack at it.

Of course i'm going to be the

GM who else would it be?

Hello?

Hello?

Yo Brian, it's Scott.

Scott, who?

Wiedemeyer. Look, you will not

believe your luck man.

We have an open seat

starting tuesday.

Okay, if you apologize.

Apologize for what?

You know what.

Brian Dumbledore is a homo

it's a fact.

Brian?

Hello.

Hello Mrs. Prendergast.

Is Eric there?

May i ask who's calling?

Scott Wiedemeyer.

Well, he doesn't want to

speak to you Scott.

Why not?

Because you made him cry.

Well, frankly Mrs.

Prendergast, Eric's a crybaby.

And everybody knows it.

Mrs. Prendergast? Sh*t!

F***.

I see that.

Video games are amazing these

days, arn't they?

Beautiful artwork.

Expansive worlds.

Top notch voice talent.

Rolling dice is just a thing

of the past, right?

Right?

Wrong.

It's all a facada.

We think it's a RPG, But you might as

well be playing connect the f***ing dots.

And i'll tell you why.

No human interaction.

When we play tabletop RPG's ...

We are reawakening one of

man's oldest traditions.

Games.

No.

Communal storytelling

Just as thousands of years ago...

Early man gathered around the fire.

Developing the myth's that

define their culture...

So we sit at the table,

Building worlds,

Building characters,

Building hero's.

Seeing through them as

through a prism,

Our own fears,

Our own goals,

Ourselves.

Think your Xbox can do that?

I don't have an Xbox.

Good for you.

I play world of warcraft though.

Let me tell you something.

MMORPG's are f***ing garbage!

They turn fibrant, creative people,

into drooling zombies

who sit in front of their monitors

jabbing F1 until their

f***ing hearts explode.

Take your character sheet and

go back to farmville!

Alright, who else do we

have for today?

Uhh... that was it.

Are you kidding?

One goddamn applicant?

Scott, your break's over.

Alright.

Get more flyers printed,

we'll put them up tomorrow.

Okay.

Now, Scott!

You got a delivery!

Bye Scott.

You know, Mrs. Yi,

when you screech like that,

it only reinforces negative

stereotypes about chinese women.
