Cheer up, younger Wil. It'll all turn out ok.
From the Vault: unpublished and unfinished scene from a grocery store
I'm working on repairing and restoring WWdN (don't get too excited or update your bookmarks just yet, my blog will live here no matter what), and while I was cleaning up duplicate blog entries, I came across several unpublished drafts of posts that I decided were too personal to publish, too unf...
Funny thing, I just watched the ep. last night and when you said, "I'm living rent-free right here," I immediately thought that it sounded like it came from you rather than the writers. It had a subtlety and character to it that honestly made it my favorite line in the show.
The Wheaton Recurrence
It's Sunday afternoon as I write this. I can't publish this manually, because if I've read my call sheet correctly, I'm currently playing Dr. Isaac Parrish on Eureka. If we're on schedule, I'm working in a scene with Erica, Colin, and Neil. If my experience on the show so far is any indication, ...
Super #1 video game memory? Tron at the Blue Whale in Yachats, OR. I think how badly I got hooked on that one alone was responsible for a childhood of arcade addiction.
Y'know, more and more my own nostalgia is making me wonder what the next generation will get nostalgic about. "On demand" entertainment was really just starting to become a thing, but generally as a kid I still had to WAIT for stuff. Video games were mostly standups in our usual restaurants or the arcade when I got a chance to go, cartoons were a Saturday morning event, and being able to rent something new on VHS was a pretty big deal.
Basically, with all the stuff I remember anticipating so much now so omnipresent, I have to wonder what's going to really stick for kids 20 years from now.
From the Vault: Uses Joystick Controller
I'm sure it's an enormous surprise to learn that I've spent a lot of time recently thinking about games and gaming, so I've found myself looking through old blog posts for research, inspiration, and to confirm or deny that strange "I think I've written about this idea before..." tingle that's re...
Yeah, I've heard about that, and I have something awesome in the works.
This is like the "cellar door" of fandom statements.
no mee maws were harmed in the writing of this post
Walking into the stage this morning felt very different than last time. I knew where to go, I knew who to look for, and my stomach butterflies were pure excitement, without the nerves I had during The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary. From the moment I parked my car, I felt like I'd come back ... ...
