Wil Wheaton's New Show: Tabletop 155
xwwt writes "Wil Wheaton is working with Felicia Day on a new show called Tabletop, which will air on the YouTube Channel Geek and Sundry. The show will be about board games and gaming in general. This is how he describes it: 'My ulterior motive with Tabletop is to show by example how much fun it is to play boardgames. I want to show that Gamers aren't all a bunch of weirdoes who can't make eye contact when they talk to you, and that getting together for a game night is just as social and awesome as getting together to watch Sportsball, or to play poker, or for a LAN party, or whatever non-gamers do with their friends. I want to inspire people to try hobby games, and I want to remove the stigma associated with gaming and gamers.' The first show airs April 2nd."

Oh indeed. It was around 79 to 81. Hey, you just missed KISS. Parents and churches flipped the fuck out over them. Kings In Satan's Service is what they said at church when they preached about it. (We keep electing some wacky people out of this brain cloud pool.) Forget going to see AC/DC, Jail Break was what it was to escape to get to one of their concerts.
America: we have our own version of the Taliban.

For anyone interested in this I recommend taking a look at Shut Up & Sit Down (http://www.shutupshow.com/). It's a pretty funny show where they review a couple of board games with a specific theme ever episode. Well worth watching and they tend to be pretty funny as well.
