After a few seconds it was a very big distraction. <br /><br />A very normal looking group of lads; right out of a D&D magazine ad. I'm sure none of them grew up to be the angry old kooks on the OSR forums.<br /><br />I could have sworn I saw a doobie getting passed at one point. That, and the presence of some females, would have reminded me more of my gaming in the 80's.Kevin Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14122665488285424578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-34315212085727950272012-02-03T10:46:25.472-05:002012-02-03T10:46:25.472-05:00And to think, E.T. was right out in the shed while...And to think, E.T. was right out in the shed while this was being filmed.Slerotinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380856875385278812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-87299759397547696142012-02-03T09:38:09.527-05:002012-02-03T09:38:09.527-05:00@Limpey - re the peace sign thing, yiou have to re...@Limpey - re the peace sign thing, yiou have to remember this was a time before not only cellphone cams and digicams, but before vidcams too. People hadn't yet mastered the art of being "on cam." I know on the rare occasion back then when I was in front of a moving image cam the rabbit ears would invariably come out. It was just what you did... :) Nowadays, by the time kids are 12 yrs old they've had hours and hours of on-cam experience and have spent loads of time working on their style. They know which is their best side. :) <br /><br />Lots of nostaligic feelings watching that vid. Good stuff! :)Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00323022731513484213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-13819727231560580892012-02-03T00:59:17.966-05:002012-02-03T00:59:17.966-05:00A remix of this They Might Be Giants song would be...A remix of this They Might Be Giants song would be the perfect soundtrack for that video.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=935XYGXrOqUGavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07397554099246666778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-29045307835396223432012-02-02T20:29:57.255-05:002012-02-02T20:29:57.255-05:00Very cool, not the least of which is because it is...Very cool, not the least of which is because it is from my wife's hometown of Lee, NH (and she thinks D&D is for weirdos like her husband).
