Blanket Statement
Recently, a McCain spokesman unfavorably compared the New York Times' editors to Obama bloggers who live in their mother's basements and "rant[] into the ether in between games of dungeons and dragons."
Well, I don't know who this guy included in his survey, but it wasn't me. Now, he could have referenced any number of tabletop games. Risk? Played it for hours on end. Monopoly? Of course. Stratego? Can't tell you the number of times I made my brother cry and scatter the pieces. But I've never so much as touched a twenty-sided die. And my parents' basement is a few hundred miles away.
Stereotyping just makes me so...[inarticulate sigh of exasperation]. I need to unwind. Think I'll load up some Titan Quest and try to level up my warrior.

You don't happen to play reversi/othello do you? That's my boardgame of choice.
