So clearly some of these won’t work with RPGs, unless you count side discussions and debates and tomfoolery as cut scenes. In which case my Sunday Marvel games include cut scenes where we debate gender roles and sexual identity and politics while our Thursday Star Wars game has cut scenes that include Yo Momma jokes, the “Kill Fuck, Marry” game and other kinds of political debates that make me want to choke my friends.

Have I mentioned yet how awesome Brutal Legend is? I mean, I think Jack Black movies are kind of cute (even the Pick of Destiny) and he’s got a unique voice and all…but damn was this game some of the best storytelling and world building I’ve seen in any medium for a long time.

Well, this is literally open in another tab…

You see earlier today Farmville released “Gagaville” to promote Lady Gaga’s new album. Roll eyes, except they have these gems and crystal gardens and such and my little girl and I goof around and pretend the bit in the picture is her little playground on our imaginary farm. And she wanted some jewels to go with it, so we were decorating together.

That’s her enchanted forest with fountains and a magic beanstalk and fairies and pink trees. *cough* The octopus is mine. She wants me to name him.

RPGs:

The White Wolf games all vary wildly. I’ve been in great games, and WTF games.

That’s tough, because not everyone’s tastes are the same. I guess “A good one” would be a cop out.

For RPGs I’ll go with D&D. It’s basics, man, and at the very least everyone should try the classics at least once. Knowing where the culture comes from can help you take it to new places.

On the video game end Raving Rabbits, at a party, with lots of alcohol. Or at least at a party. Because it’s a lot of fun and failing is almost as fun as winning, which makes for great socializing.

Plus I want to share another video…
