If you love board games of all stripes (and I KNOW many of you on my flist do) or you've often wondered what some of these strange games involve, then hie yourself off to YouTube and subscribe to this:-

This is Felicia Day's site. She and Wil Wheaton have collaborated on a project called "Tabletop", where they got some folks they know together to play board games and filmed the results. The series will feature people like Grant Imahara (Mythbusters), Beth Riesgraf (Leverage) and Colin Ferguson (Eureka), plus many others. I think they've filmed one series so far and feature games like Settlers of Cataan, Munchkin, Small World and The Last Night on Earth.
From Wil Wheaton's blog:-
"My ulterior motive with Tabletop is to show by example how much fun it is to play boardgames. I want to show that Gamers aren't all a bunch of weirdoes who can't make eye contact when they talk to you, and that getting together for a game night is just as social and awesome as getting together to watch Sportsball, or to play poker, or for a LAN party, or whatever non-gamers do with their friends. I want to inspire people to try hobby games, and I want to remove the stigma associated with gaming and gamers."
Sounds great and I can't wait to see it!
