Pity they had such tossers discussing it, especially the idiot going on about being twinky the wonder fairy or something.  The stock footage was a gem too. The first scene showed a bunch of people playing a hex wargame. The news report showing the GW RQ cover (oh why that one) was harping on about Dungeons and Dragons.
