Damn man, that was hilarious! Scary too. You got the laugh, now NEVER DO THAT AGAIN! I have been planning to make the wootstock pilgrimage in the near future and hope that you will still be a part of it when I do. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go cry a little from that scare.

In which I am a HPOA
I'm working very long hours on Eureka, so I don't have a lot of time or energy to post more than silly things on Twitter, but I did this over the weekend, and I wanted to share: The w00tstock organization wishes to post the following photo correspondence from “Wil”—which is most certainly not a ...
For future cons maybe you could get Grant Imahara to build a hugging/hand-shaking robot to keep at your table for those in dire need of physical contact. Embrace-atron, Wheaton Edition.

Game on: GenCon info, chapbooks, and dice. Lots and lots of dice.
I leave for GenCon in about 3d12 hours. While I'm not thrilled about getting up at 4am on Thursday, knowing that the reward for dragging myself out of bed at areyoufuckingserious o'clock is three days of gaming and geeking makes it all worthwhile. I'm blessing dice, taking pictures, and signing ...
I'm a dog? Who said I was a dog? Listen pal, you're barking up the wrong tree. You just bury that gossip in the yard. Throw me a bone, man. Woof...DAMMIT!

I mentioned this on Twitter, but as Twitter has grown and grown (congrats, Biz and Ev!) it's become very "in the moment" and not the best place to put very important things like this: There's a page on Facebook that appears to be mine. The problem with this is that I don't use Facebook, and I do...
No no, you've got it all wrong. We're not going to laugh AT you, we're going to laugh WITH you!

In which I finally finish writing my PAX East keynote
The last two months have featured sleepless nights, 10-hour work days, and constant battles with the voices of Self Doubt, You Suck, Why Did You Agree To Do This, You're Boring me Zoidberg, and They're All Going To Laugh At You. But a little earlier, when I finally got to turn this: into thi...

Wow, nice shirt . . . Moonpie.
I love that this line has been immortalized in T-shirt form , not only because it's one of the funniest in the episode, but when we were rehearsing the scene it comes from, I grew a level in comedy acting: During one of the run throughs, when Jim did his Klingon bit, I turned to Kevin and as...
So you have been cast as Evil Will on TBBT and the Axis of Anarchy on The Guild. Is it strange that when these writers are casting an evil character they think of Wil Wheaton?

My first experience with Anime was Starblazers and Robotech. I was really into the space adventures. and both of those worked well for me.
Man, before I had CompuServe I had the real early version of Prodigy. The whole bottom third of the screen was an advertisement. I hated that thing but I liked being connected. Now if I can just get my DSL to go faster.

The future is not a straight line. It is filled with many crossroads.
If you're of a certain age, do you remember the first time you saw AKIRA, or any of the Dirty Pair or original Macross cartoons? Coming from a steady diet of Hannah Barbera cartoons, it was like trading a transistor radio for a high-end stereo or seeing the grand canyon with my own eyes. The cin...

That is totally why I play Guitar Hero against my daughter. I have no chance of winning against her, but that's not the point. Its just about spending time together. Oh, and smack talk.

the 2009 year in review, part one
The first time I did one of these posts in 2006, it was to secretly collect material I was thinking about including in The Happiest Days of Our Lives. It ended up being a lot of fun to look back at the whole year, though, and it created a nice introduction to my writing (which is one of those th...
I too am new to your blog and writings this year. I have to say I completely enjoy it. The way you write really brings back the memories of playing old video games, going to mini-golf, and so much more. You're words have helped to brighten my year. Thank you for that. I hope you have a happy new year and continue to do what you love.

I spent a couple hours tonight going through my blog for the annual year in review series of posts. I thought I'd make two or three posts, but so much awesome stuff happened, I ended up with six - yeah, six - posts worth of stuff to pull out and comment on. That lead me to write this, which wil...
Ah yes, the good ole days. Sitting back watching the end draw near with a Penguins Frozen Yogurt in hand (vanilla with crushed Butterfingers). But, the end never came and Penguins got on that boat with Gandalf and Bilbo and left the world of man.

From the Vault: The Fires of Mordor
Yesterday, I decided that I'd reach into The Vault a few times this week, and reprint some holiday-related posts. While I combed through the WWdN archives, I came across this post, which I haven't thought about pretty much since I wrote it. It has nothing to do with the holidays, but I still li...
Thinking about your dog, I found a frog once that could sing and dance. I was so amazed I tried to show it to people, but alas it would only do it for me. Stupid frog. I ended up putting it back where I found it.

Anne is helping a friend move today, so she went down to The OC last night, in order to avoid the hellish traffic that exists on the Southern California freeways between 6am and 10pm just about every day of the week. This meant that Nolan and I were alone last night, free to watch the original ...
I would love to see a video of any of the woot you have on stock in LA. I am not able to make the trip due to a current disability but would really enjoy seeing it during my convalescence. Is there a possibility of this happening?

I'm not going to lie to you, Marge: I'm pretty damn excited for w00tstock next week. It's one of those things where it simultaneously feels like years and seconds ago that Paul (of Paul and Storm) called me and said something like, "do you want to do a show together?" "Yes. Yes I do." "Wouldn't ...

A few months ago, a casting director needed to get a picture of me with my luxurious beard. Since I haven't had any headshots taken since I grew this magnificent beard, my son and I took my camera out onto the patio so he could take a quick picture that would be good enough for e-mailing on ...

This is the cover for Memories of the Future, Volume One. I looked at a bunch of different designs (and at least one of them may be a variant cover at some point) but when I saw the comp that ended up leading to this cover, I knew that this was the one I'd want to use, because I just love 195...
Great show, Wil. Best of the season yet. Very fun and the opposing team gave it a new spin. Awesome!
Are we seeing a trend with your characters? Chaos in Leverage and Axis of Anarchy in The Guild. Whats next, Hacker Havoc or Digital Disarray? Maybe you could be a super-villain.

Early feedback from tonight's episode of Leverage is overwhelmingly positive, which delights me. I'm so happy to hear that so many people liked it. If you've seen the show already, you may get a kick out of the pictures I took during production and just added to Flickr, but there are spoilers, s...
To appease my curiosity I have to ask how many times have you unintentionally hit a squirrel playing Bad Golf?
My church played broom hockey which was very similar to your Bad Golf. We just went for the fun, not the win. Very cool you do that with your kids.

Last week, I took Nolan to the 3 par golf course I played on all the time as a teenager for a round of what we call Bad Golf. The rules of Bad Golf are pretty simple: 1. If you completely blow it on a shot, you get an automatic do-over, no penalty. 2. If you miss the cup by a distance equal to...

The Sun reached out from 93 million miles away, pushed against the curtains in my bedroom until it found a small gap, and poked though it. As it moved across the sky, it crept silently down the wall behind me, then deliberately down the headboard until it landed on my forehead. Once there, it to...

I apologize. I was not intending to wound, I was just looking for information. You see, I may have the need for a device of my own soon. I was hoping you might be able to point me to a good store or hire out your services to me. It is difficult to find a good Doomsday Device anymore.
