A life age of the earth ago, when I was younger, he was not the guvenator yet, I walked in different circles, ate at the Capitol Hill GOP club and rubbed shoulders with the influential and powerful - I met Arnold and spent a couple weeks stumping for him. At the time I didn't play miniature wargames, had priorly been enlisted in the Army, and was currently a cadet at West Point. There was a GW store (or maybe it was a FLGS?) in both D.C. and NY that I stopped into whenever I had the chance; one of them (NY) had a life-sized gigantic space marine that always compelled me to go in and the one in D.C. had some amazing artwork up on the walls.
And then I realized that this is probably not interesting to anyone except me. Whether he still has them or not, he bought his first models with me. It took me another 7 years to get into the hobby.

Video games hardly count as wargames, or RPGs in general. If you want real metal playing real games, check out 3 Inches of Blood. When they were interviewed by Dragon magazine (in its last dying breaths), they said they will not put video games in their bus. Rather, they roll up new characters and play a campaign straight through their tour schedule.

True. I put it in anyway because it's a pretty funny video, the fact that Cannibal Corpse is addicted as millions of others, and MMO gaming is kind of generically seen as a fringe activity of nerds.
