From an exclusive interview with Benjamin Evan Ainsworth on his portrayal of Link in the new live action Zelda Movie:

GaA: So, you've decided to employ method acting to prepare for this role, can you tell us about that?
BEA: Hya! Hup. Hep. Yaaah!

Had a fun night play testing a friend's game that's still in alpha.

There are some fantastic designs at Unplugged this year. I so wish I was going.

I would never encourage someone to do something against their best interests.

I'll still post screen caps for ya though.

You need the invite link?

Oh, slack is where it's at.

Fantastic Knicknacksry has one of the best designs I've seen in a while

Apparently it's not just me. From the Pinny Arcade slack:

Ha ha! Love it!

Definitely. I think Restoration has said that they make the assumption that someone's purchase could be the first and last, and they want it to work with what they've got. I think they've got that down pretty well.

Man, I really need to make it to Unplugged one of these times.

Let's substitute any other gland for this and it's comedy gold.

My tonsils are definitely looking agitated, as if stressed today.

I want to see the gag reel where she smacks him with the glove and it turns into a challenge to a duel.

Introduced #Unmatched to a friend, and he was hooked.
Him: So which of these (online) is the starter?
Me: Every set is a starter, every set is an expansion. Get whichever one you like.
Him: Then how do I get a map?
Me: It's in the box.
Him: Someone is smart.

I've GOT to figure out how to make that work for me.

I'm actually trying to be patient and not think about it.

But like also I'm starting to have dreams that I'm attending East already, so my sense of anticipation is clearly ahead of my rational thinking.

One of these days I'll make it to Unplugged.

Oh, no way. You have a new pinny design this year? Dice O's was killer.

Thanks! Rolled a 1 for my first combat action of the game and it was pretty satisfying.

In general everyone had a great time figuring out their characters personalities and stats. GM was new to the system too, so we were all generous with each other.

Spent my whole first session of Dragonbane going, "Crap! No wait... YAY!"

#PAXEast tickets are now on sale. I absolutely love this show. At PAX I've found a fantastic and supportive community of gamers and like-minded geeks.

As we get closer to the show, I'll be posting guides on Pinny Trading and navigating your first PAX.

Oh, having a fresh Indian market is grand. Having access to fresh curry leaves and Indian green chilies is the only way to go for a couple of dishes I like.

I'm a VegeTasty guy, it's just finding them is the trick.

Episode cover for 63 - Conventions

We're getting through some backlog and show notes are here for Episode #63 - Conventions. In our main topic we pool our con-going experiences and go over how to prep for a con, what to pack with you, and how to deal with con crash afterward.

I'd say that this is a solid review of the SWORL. I picked one up because I have inflammation issues in my joints, making a traditional controller not a good option for me. But the SWORL is an amazing accessibility tool for me allowing me to play games I otherwise couldn't.

Bear with me now:

4D printer.

Huh? HUH?!

This is the single coolest pin board I've ever seen. Shout out to a fellow Paxtronaut who put a lot of imagination and wicked awesome design.

I keep watching your updates and every time I still just watch in awe of how cool it is that you made something that amazing.
