If you haven't already, you guys should check out Wil Wheaton's new webseries, where he plays and explains games with famous people.

This particular episode is like a Groghead trifecta - it has Wil Wheaton (so ST:TNG), Felicia Day (RPG-geeky hottie), and... Steve Jackson (game designer).

They play Steve Jackson's Munchkin. Munchkin isn't my favorite game (although I really need to try it again) but it is silly fun.

"The purpose of religion is to answer the ultimate question, are we in control or is there some greater force pulling the strings? And if the courts rule that corporations have the same religious rights that we humans do, I think we'll have our answer."

My group plays lots of Munchkin, we have all the expansions for it. Great game while drinking lots of beer.

Cool to see Steve Jackson paying his own game.

I have Munchkin Quest which adds a great build your own dungeon boardgame experience to the game.

Aside from the Settlers of Catan episode, which seemed incredibly dry, it has been a good series. Showed me what Small World is, and now I own that and three expansions.  ;D

Thanks for pointing out the show. It's well done and fun to watch. Wil Wheaton is a lot easier to take when he's not playing Wesley Crusher.

He's also been playing a very annoying scientist in the last two seasons of 'Eureka' on the Scifaux channel. Too bad the show's getting cancelled because it's fun to watch due to the characters and the over-the-top scifi techno-cliches.

For anyone who likes their game reviews with a bit of humor, I highly recommend checking out Shut Up & Sit Down. They do videos every few weeks to a month that they clearly put time in to, and a lot of written content as well.
