April 6, 2008: Yes, We Saw The Celebrity Stats In Wired

An unfortunate consequence of the mainstream's discovery of fantasy games is that now we have to live through the mainstream's reinvention of things like "Let's assign D&D stats to celebrities, har har." And they'll be just as lame as you expect when the mainstream tries to be hip. But I'm posting the link anyway, to save myself dozens of e-mails asking if I have seen it. And, hey, it's never a completely bad day when the mainstream uses a gaming trope, not as something to mock, but as the setup to mock something else.
