I think I'm in love with Doctor Hoobajoo. Is she single?

on the delivery of technobabble
I was in three scenes yesterday, one of which contained a massive amount of technobabble. For those who don't know what that is: on a sci-fi show, technobabble is what we call pseudoscientific dialog like "I'll have to run a level four diagnostic on the antimatter inversion matrix to be sure." I...
If you can manage it, you can probably still touch people and get through a con without getting sick. You just need to wash your hands frequently and not touch your hands to your face (this is the hard part). Hands to nose/mouth/eyes is the number one vector bacteria and viruses use to get into your body.
Stay healthy!

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 can see why you and Ally never had a chance. The whole liver schism...
That. And the 10 year age difference.

FLASHBACK! True Stories From Famous People
When I was a dorky teenager, I was sort of thrust into the spotlight by Stand By Me and Star Trek. I've written before about how weird the whole thing was, and how uncomfortable a lot of the attention made me, but it wasn't all bad; I got to do some cool things, and meet some cool people as a re...
I'm sure you all had a "Naked Time."

Colin Ferguson and me, on acting
This was filmed by one of the producers, near the end of a very, very long day on the set of Eureka: We're obviously having fun and being silly, but there is an element of truth to what we said: we have a good time when we bring these characters to life, but it really does require a great d...
When will Evil Wil Wheaton get his own spin-off show?

If you could ask the cast and creators of Big Bang Theory anything, what would it be?
This Friday, I'm moderating the Big Bang Theory panel at Comic-con. The entire cast will be in attendance, as well as series creators Bill Prady and Chuck Lorre. We only have an hour, which always goes by faster than we think, so I'm going to start out with a handful of my own questions before I...
Hey Wil, anytime you're in Seattle I'll be glad to run a Savage Worlds or Dragon Age game for you. Or kick back and play Dominion. Drop me a line!

A few geeky games that are worth setting aside some Geek Time to play
I've discovered that, unless I specifically set aside Geek Time for me, Wil Wheaton, I end up doing nothing but work. This isn't entirely bad, because most of the work I do is geek-related, but I eventually run out of HP, and I have to recharge. by doing some private geeky thing, like reading co...
Hey Wil here's another way to waste time! Check out the latest Gamemaster Show AP. It's a game of Time and Temps that features you as the badguy. [redacted for spoilers]

making plans for nigel
My brain keeps giving me 404s when I try to get focused long enough to write this short scary story (well, I think it's scary. It has a monster in it) in time for Halloween. So I'm doing other things to try and trick it into rebooting the server, like cleaning up my house, playing with my dog, a...
