I just wanted to stop by and say that I love it when you get all rambly. Seeing you on great shows like Big Bang Theory and Eureka has been great. Your blog posts about working on those sets & shows is great. More Burritoness is only more sauce.

Radio Free Burrito: Episode Twenty-Four
Holy Crap, it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito! It's one of those shows where I talked for an hour, and feel like I didn't say anything at all. Also, I am aware that the tags are screwed up and the feed doesn't validate, so unless you're grabbing RFB from iTunes or getting it direc...
Gratz! Hilarious. :)

wil wheaton gets lucky ... sometimes
This was the ultimate highlight of my #PAX 2009, and watching it again just now brought tears to my eyes again. I'm not worthy of something this awesome. Thank you Jonathan, and Paul, and Storm, and Molly for making me feel cool. I <3 you guys.
I saw it Saturday in 3D. Awesome!

my other mother loves me
Yesterday, Anne convinced me to take a break from work so we could go see a matinee of Coraline, which was playing in 3D at a local theater. I love the book, and I love Nightmare Before Christmas, so it seemed like a no-brainer. But 3D? I wasn't so sure. I'm not a huge fan of 3D. It always feels...
I loved their first set of 4EDnD podcasts. I can't wait for these to get posted. :)

Penny Arcade D&D 4E Podcast News
I heard a rumor that the podcast of the D&D Fourth Edition adventure I played with Gabe, Tycho and Scott Kurtz may be starting soon, so I put on my scouting around outfit, went to the Wizards of the Coast website, and did some scouting around yesterday afternoon. Guess what I found on the Februa...

Yesterday, while Anne took Ryan to the airport, Nolan and I found ourselves in the living room. He sat at the desk and played Warcraft, and I sat on the couch, bored with football and contemplating some Xbox. "Hey," I said, "let's play frisbee." "Mmmhhhuuhhh," he said, clicking the mouse and doi...

I have a theory, and it is mine. It goes like this: When I get up early in the morning and go straight to work, I produce an avalanche of words before I get tired, about nine hours later. When I get up later in the morning and go straight to work, I produce substantially fewer words, and never r...

Tuesday night, I asked Andrew (my editor and good friend, for those of you who are just walking into the theater for the first time) if he thought we could put together a chapbook for the 2008 Geek Tour . . . and have it ready to give to the printer about 18 hours later. Andrew is a fucking rock...

Now that you post that Will, it's odd, both your names rattle around in my brain. And I can't *quite* recall where I've seen each. But I know to look for yours again.
And no doubt I've seen your name on the Vampire stuff.

Nice Wil. I like it.
And I love Will's original. But then I have liked his work since I helped playtest Midnight a number of years back.

WE3 is great.
A friend of mine introduced me to it and then he ran a one-shot adventure based on it (using the rules from "Don't Rest Your Head") called "Run Far!".

If you went with Threadless I'd definately buy (at least) one. If you went with someone else I'd seriously consider it. If it's Cafe Press that would count against something that would otherwise be wicked cool.

Is anyone interested in WWdN merchandise?
Before I put in the time and effort to make some new WWdN merchandise for the WWdN CafePress store, I'm looking for a show of hands: is anyone interested in some WWdN gear, like T-shirts and stuff? I don't have the time or desire to run a store myself, or take the risk of buying a lot of stock a...
