Quotes by Brian Posehn
I don't know if I was a poseur - I really did love metal, always - but I gave a lot of other things a chance. I wanted to meet, um, girls, so I would check out 'Depeche Mode.'
In D&D, I love playing the first guy through the door - the guy with the battle-axe. 'Where are the bad guys? Just point me at 'em!'
I've played D&D for years. I'm a comic book guy. Comic-Con in San Diego is nerd Christmas for me.
If I see a beautiful woman walking down the street, a pretty lady, I'll yell, 'Homo!' She can't get pissed, and I still get the pleasure of yelling at her.
I was such a nerd in high school, I didn't even have imaginary friends, I had imaginary bullies.
