Burke building the team... RPG style

by Wan Ihite on Apr 2, 2011 5:03 PM EDT

Everyone who grew up geeky enough to know role playing games, or with the slightly lesser level of geekiness required to play the newfangled computer versions, knows that a good party needs to fill many roles. It seems Burke has been taking notes.

A good party needs:

A Warrior:

A Rogue:

A Wizard:

A Barbarian:

A Sorcerer (with magic staff, naturally):

And of course, the ingredient missing until just recently... a Monk:

.... for healing, divine-punishment-channeling, and blunt-instrument ass-kicking.

Every group needs a bard as well

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

I’m going to go play Final Fantasy now and change all the characters’ names to Leaf names…

I'm thinking that when the Leafs win the Cup, I'll lose my drinking problem.

Is this Shadowrun? Cos if it is, they should know never to split up.

No. Not even in the face of Armageddon. Never compromise.

Dude, monks are practically gods. Wan Ihite has got it right.

I think you're cutting Rangers a little short.

Toughest sons of bitches around and there aren’t any better hunters out there. Right Luke?

RPG Role Play Games… Nice.. forgive me .. I see RPG and I have flashbacks to the RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade) fired near me (and missed of course ) that nearly killed me..

I love in the movies how it appears to go slowly with this big long puffy white trail with a long Faaawwwoooooossssshhhhhhhhhh sound

yeah… that dont happen AT ALL !!!

All you hear is a big huge loud BANG ! and dirt and debris falling all over you and your ears ringing and everything else sounds like a your hearing inside a soda can.. .. No white puffy cloud trail and no Faaawwwooosssshhhh to warn you at all man.

but great post..

who is the chippy edgy yappy agitator role playing guy ?

It would be a rogue I guess. There are different rogues. There is the sneaky, stealthy type who spring from no where with the puck on there stick to the back of the net (desert ninja?). There is the bat shit crazy rogue (Grabs). And there is the obnoxious, wise cracking rogue (Army)

crazy story

I also heard a guy once who was all into Ninja skills and martial arts training who said he had a bit of a wake up, of all things playing paintball. He kind of had these romantic ideas from movies of ninjas catching bullets and dodging them and such, and there he was playing with paint balls that move way slower than real bullets, and they went so fast there was nothing he could do.
