Evil Wil Wheaton sounds like he has a little warlock blood in him...

Emerald City Comicon after action report
ECCC has officially joined PAX on the List of Conventions I Don't Ever Want To Miss. It's well-organized, staffed by competent and friendly volunteers, and has what is, in my opinion, the perfect balance of comics and popular geek culture. This year, I had to leave Saturday afternoon to fly home...
Shouldn't that say "Smurfed Out"?

now it's just getting silly
The thing is, I don't even like The Smurfs*, but we have a friend who is working on The Smurfs, and we feel compelled to send him as much Smurf-related imagery as possible. If you wanted to caption this one, too, I'm certainly not going to stop you. *Currently, that is. When I was 8, I fuc...
Ha ha! I love that shirt! Please tell me that you and your Star Trek stand-ins and stunt doubles formed a bowling team.

in which i spend a day as both father and a son
My son Ryan came home for Thanksgiving, and before he left, my dad and I had planned to take him and his brother to play Frisbee golf. When I got up today, it was fifty-seven degrees below zero, and the wind was gusting with gusto (HA HA HA), and I knew the conditions were not, shall we say, opt...
Oh, I love Ed Robertson! Congrats on that!

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...

Painted from life, I gather...*somebody's been working oooouuuu-uuut!*

I would tell 2003 Wil not to take it in a bad way...the guy probably just couldn't reconcile the idea that he would meet Wil Wheaton in the grocery store with what he thought was reality, so he dismissed it despite the evidence in front of his face. I'm glad 2010 Wil can laugh at that sort of thing, though!

From the Vault: unpublished and unfinished scene from a grocery store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yet, my blog will live here no matter what), and while I was cleaning up duplicate blog entries, I came across several unpublished drafts of posts that I decided were too personal to publish, too unf...
Boo! I didn't DVR the show, and apparently you can't watch it online. Sigh...I guess I'll have to keep an eye out for a recurrence. I mean, rerun.

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, ...
In retrospect, this is sadly true.

from the vault: april's fool
Every year, I dream up some epic April Fool's thing, realize how much work it would take to do it well, and end up just waiting to see whatever Think Geek does. This year, I ended up doing something fairly (hey, my fingers just automatically typed fail while my brain was thinking fair. That's fu...
I still find it so sad that you spent most of your life thinking people hated Wesley! Well, it seems to have worked out okay for you in any case. :0)
Nice jokes...you and Brent are hilarious, as usual.

We saw that in the theater, and it was the first time we did the CinemaScore survey, which was fun. We gave the movie the highest grade...so excellent!

The Fantastic Mister Fox is a cussin' great movie
Last night, Anne and I watched The Fantastic Mister Fox. I completely missed this movie when it was in theaters, and didn't know a single thing about it except that, according to our friends, I'd really like it. About fifteen minutes into the movie I turned to her and said, "This is awesome. It'...
I have the physical Just a Geek, but when I saw the audio book was nine hours, I just had to hear it. I had to ask my partner if it was okay to spend $20 of our limited funds on it, and he said yes, cuz "it's Wil Wheaton"!

In which the audio versions of Happiest Days and Just A Geek get a new home
I've had such a great experience using Lulu to sell Sunken Treasure and Memories of the Future, Volume One, I have decided to start out 2010 by moving the audio versions of The Happiest Days of Our Lives and Just A Geek to Lulu. It made a lot of sense to me to keep all of my self-published work ...
I'm really surprised that you're so unrecognizable with your luxurious beard! I certainly didn't have any trouble recognizing you, but maybe the circumstances were different in a big party like that.

I had a rather ... interesting ... weekend. According to Paul and Storm on Sunday, I won the game of "What I did last night" that I didn't even know we were playing. It was so surreal, I'm mostly writing this down today so I never forget what an incredible time we had. Saturday, Anne and I were ...
Except for that third paragraph, of course...that has to be done in the quick, serious lawyer voice. :0)

Holy crap! It's time for Memories of the Futurecast. Memories of the Future, Volume One, covers the first 13 episodes of TNG, so each week, I'm choosing something from one episode, and performing an excerpt for you. It will mostly be from the synopses, which is where I think the real humor of th...

We went to Napa for our tenth anniversary. For the record: being married to your best friend rules.
Yeah, we're still interested in reading your monster story whenever it's ready, even if it isn't Halloween. Just FYI! :0)

on the hunting down of ideas
I've been struggling lately to turn a lot of ideas I have into actual stories. I kind of feel like my writing mojo has taken a temporary leave of absence, and the harder I look for it, the harder it is to find. It has been incredibly frustrating. This morning, in Warren Ellis' BAD SIGNAL e-mail,...
That's so cool! Now when I watch it again I'll listen for your inflections and stuff.

Back in the old days, before Twitter exploded into the phenomenon that it is now, I got a message from Greg Grunberg. Greg plays Matt Parkman on Heroes (this information, which most of you don't need, is provided as a public service to the seven of you who do), and has been in every JJ Abrams pr...
Hey Wil...I know I've written this before and I know you've heard it from many people, but that person who wrote to you was right...not everyone hated Wesley and a lot of us loved the character! Sorry you didn't get that affirmation when you were younger, but hopefully it helps to hear it now.

I'm making myself a little crazy trying to write a column about gaming, gamers, gaming conventions, and why they all add up to mean so much to me. It's not that I can't find the words but – well, maybe it is that I can't find the words. Or, more accurately, I can't find enough words, because I c...
Anne is awesome! LOL
I think most people get the "I'm kind of a big deal" joke.
Curious: are you only going to be doing this for Season 1? Or just the first couple of seasons? Cuz you keep saying how the show got really good later on, which is true, but hopefully that won't stop you from finding the humor and telling stories. I guess at some point (when you weren't on the show anymore), it would be a little difficult to do the memoir part. But maybe you could get memories from the other actors...
