Topic: Robin Williams came to my LGS today

[faitherun (Fay-ith-er-run)]

Robin Williams plays/played 40k a lot with Billy Crystal, they do voices for all their figures as they move and fire them. Apparently it's absolutely hilarious to watch.

Are there any videos of this... I would love to see that

If i was a celebrity, I would invest in GW. I would then use my celebrity to be seen publicly at as many events and stores as possible. Thereby promoting the game and raising my stock values.

I get a kick out of all these questions of "was he funny" and "did he make any jokes"?  My question would be "was he cool"... I wouldn't expect someone whose job is comedy to be constantly funny (though it would be awesome if they were).

Well it's good to finally have some proof that there are famous people that are involved in our (less than) illustrious hobby!

I got to admit though he doesn't look all that thrilled at having his picture taken lol

Y'know, I always gotta feel bad when fans go running up to celebrities, asking for autographs and pictures. Being a Celebrity is a double-edged sword and a lot of times it tends to wear on the folks.

Personally, if I saw Robin Williams or any other celebrity of any kind, I'd be definitely have a big stupid grin on my face, but I'd try to be very cool about it and treat them like any ol' acquaintance. They come to game stores and what not to relax and kinda be a normal folk. If they want a game or chill at my table, I'll be giddy as hell. If not, eh. I'm not going to drag my seat over.


Of course, it's when I get home do I start giggling like a school girl and rambling at everyone I know will keep their mouth shut about how frickin' sweet it was to play/paint with/be around/share the same air as said celebrity.

Mr. Peanut!!!!!!! while its a truly, truly, truly awesome, I'm not sure if Mr. William would appreciate it. Or would he care? just throwing it out there. If he would care, should we care that he cares?

IIRC he possesses an ork army converted to look like hasidic jews. Also, Will SMith plays as well. Forget which movie, but one of his armies is depicted near the beginning.

Nice pic. I've always wanted to grab a game against him, based on stories of his playstyle. My friends and I often do the same thing with narration, etc. It's really a much better game that way.

[Only Slightly Crazy]

There is a reason why so many celbrities play 40k... their the only one who can afford it! 

Seriously, thats cool. The most awesome Celebrity to play agianst would have to be Gerad Butler. Seriously, any army he played and voiced I would love.

mr williams also plays a lot of d&d i'm told.

now THAT would be a gaming group - robin williams, mike myers, vin diesel, Matt Groening, lexa doig and kevin smith. heaven...
