Dragons are always necessary

I look like just the sort of person who'd be all over the fantasy genre, but strangely I'm not.

Makes me wonder whether there are people out there that look like they are into boxing and drag racing that actually prefer a bit of Warcraft.

I quite like the dragons. One thing I'll say about the series it does do the 'epic' well. The look pretty awesome, in the truest sense on screen. As do the white walkers. Still I can see why people don't like it there is a lot of 'meanwhile in somewhere you don't give a f**k about someone who will be important possibly later on is having breakfast'.

Also I met Natalie Dormer a few times in the Purple Turtle in Reading, back in the days before she was famous. Sadly with nothing more to add to that statement.

I used to work with a bloke - 5'4", pretty much spherical, beard you could hide a badger in - in short the absolute spitting image of Gimley the dwarf. Turns out he did "live action D&D" where like minded people dress up and pretend to be in Lord of the Rings. I asked his character, fully expecting the dwarf, but no, he was a Samurai Warrior. Made me wonder if there's a well toned, super fit, muscular Japanese fella somewhere who spends his weekends pretending to be a dwarf!

Warcraft was a really bad example as I played WoW for several years and the only reason I don't still is that it is an insane waste of money.

I guess the beauty of all role play is pretending to be something you're not, but I never expected "tall and slim" to be amongst those things people pretended to be.
