OK. 20 Questions....
Would this be a Sci-Fi movie scheduled for release in 2013?

in which i have an audition for a feature this afternoon
I composed a post in Firefox all about how I have this awesome audition this afternoon. Then, when I tried to publish it, Firefox hung for ten minutes before it crashed. I've been spoiled by stability, so I didn't do the ctl-c that was so pretty much automatic a few years ago... so here's the tl...
So, have you seen Ashley Judd since?

So io9 did this thing called the 10 Suckiest Fake Video Games That People Play In Science Fiction. Spoiler Alert: The Game from, uh, The Game is number one. 1) Suckdisk from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Actually, we don’t remember this game having an actual name on the show, but “suckdisk” f...
Come on Wil! You're starting to sound like Dr. River Song!

on the learning of lines and the telling of the story
Scene 15 is a little over three pages of intense dialog, some important character beats, and a fair amount of technobabble. We were supposed to shoot it tomorrow, but it was moved to this afternoon, so my plan to learn it tonight was pushed up by almost 24 hours. People always want to know how a...
You've signed on to perhaps the best show on TV. I 'bout lost it when James Callis mentioned hallucinating about a long legged woman in a slinky red dress! Was there any scuttlebutt about this (possible) improvisation?

You may ask yourself, "well, how did I get here?"
About two hours ago, I said goodbye to my friends on the set of Eureka, and rode back to my home away from home, here in Vancouver. About an hour ago, I started doing my laundry and packing my suitcase. I think the last time I did coin-op laundry, I was 20. It's strangely familiar, and the uniqu...
You say that you find it hard to hate Fargo, but your actual hate is directed at EvilFargo who no longer exists.
From what I can tell from the detritus that he left behind, I would probably hate him too.
I'm looking forward to seeing Parrish discover the NewFargo. My hope is that the characters can actually work thru their relationship problems and become a force to be reckoned with!
There's also the possibility that the position will drag NewFargo back into being a dick. I can see the personality parallels there. Perhaps it's my optimistic hope that the characters will be able to pull Eureka toward the old(good) state rather than allow the current circumstances to mold them to their imposed roles.
That was a great episode Wil! Thanks ever so much for making the world a little bit better place for the story that you are unfolding!

This post contains spoilers. You have been warned. If I've pushed the Big Red Button correctly, this should post automatically right after my episode of Eureka, All the Rage, has concluded in the Eastern time zone. I'm at Comic-Con right now, and I've just seen this episode in its entirety for t...
Wil, I offer my condolences. I'm convinced that our Canine family members can identify with our emotions. Don't try and talk yourself out of knowing that Riley understands. (at least on some level) There are some things in this life that defy rational explanation. The love of a good dog is one of those things.

in which some comfort is found
I saw Ferris' empty dish last night when I fed Riley, and it unleashed an agonizing wave of sadness so overwhelming, I dropped to the floor in our living room and cried as hard and as long as I ever have in my life. After she was finished eating, Riley came over to me and sniffed at my face. Th...
Wonderful job! The only thing... You're kinda getting typecast as the bad guy aren't you? ;-)
I've started watching Leverage cause I knew you were going to be on it. After watching the past two episodes, and then your episode, I'm not touching that entry on my DVR.
Hope to see your wonderful work again soon!

"Hi, I'm Wil, and I'll be playing the part of the Orange X."
Trying to think about something else for a moment ... When we shoot a TV show or a movie, we often have to cheat our looks closer or farther away from the camera during our closeups. Most of the time, the place we're supposed to look is marked with a piece of tape, like an orange X, for exampl...

There are two ways that I can commemorate Patrick Stewart's birthday, today. The first: And the second, which comes in two parts. The first part should illustrate how awesome Patrick is, and why I like him so much. The second part should remove any lingering doubt. This is from Chapter Sev...
Congratulations Wil!!!!!
I guess it's kinda like a couple trying to have a baby. Until they forget about it and stop trying so hard, it just doesn't happen.
Looks like you've played the role of being an actor that dreamed of being a writer, and now for a week the pendulum swings the other way.
My hope for you is that you can turn in your slash and replace it with an "and".
BTW... What goes first is whatever you are grooving on this week...

and now for something completely different
There was a time when I called myself an actor/writer. Then I realized that, saying it aloud, I was calling myself an actor, slash writer. While I suppose this would be immensely appealing to some people, it's not how I wish to be remembered by history, so I made an effort to call myself a write...
You've just gotta blog about this.
Just about ruined my monitor blowin' a mouthful of coffee when I saw this one!

I worked on my keynote all day today. I got it to Good Enough, and tomorrow, I'll nudge it up to Awesome. Well, I hope. I'm still anxious, which is why I'm still at Defcon 3. To keep things in perspective, I took an unscheduled break in the late morning when Anne got stung by a wasp in the yard,...
Hey Wil,
Just looked at your Last.fm profile. On there it says "wilwheaton has 0 friends".
I really don't believe everything I read on the web, so I wanted to check this out with you first.
This is a rumor? Right?

Day-old congats Wil!

I'd like the distinct pleasure of standing in your front yard, with a stupid look on my face, prompting you to yell: "get off my lawn!"

I have been absolutely overwhelmed with totally awesome birthday wishes from just about everyone I know, and just as many people who I don't know. Thank you! This trip around the Sun, my 35th 36th*, has started out better than I could have ever dreamed, and it keeps getting better. Now I'm goi...

Patton Oswalt, one of my favorite comics and one of the nicest I've ever met (he was a frequent guest on the J. Keith vanStratten show) and is a serious geek, as this comment to Wired illustrates: Wired: There's a great line on your new album, Werewolves: "My geekiness is getting in the way of...
Two more assignments:
Develop a song that incorporates that key.....
Create a number of boards that are notched with the relative values of each of those numbers. Take a photograph of those boards, and develop a program that will interpret those notches and turn them back into hexadecimal. Post the photograph and the decryption program all over the web, and require the downloader to ask your permission to run the program.
Wait for the right guys (nudge..nudge.. Wink..wink.. Say no more)
to send you a notice in the mail....

Numbers are awesome. The concept of zero fascinates me, phi and pi are as beautiful as they are complex, and even though e and i are way beyond my level of understanding, I still love and respect them all. I frequently wish that I'd had teachers over the course of my life who made math interesti...
Wil,
I don't mean to bust your chops, but it seems to me that the monkeydance exists because the monkeys are willing to dance. You had prepared to do a particular scene, were told to do a particular scene, why did you think it out of the box to DEMAND that you do THAT PARTICULAR SCENE?
In any area of life, it is wrong to be rude. What they asked of you was RUDE. There is no one on earth that is required to change the world. We all are responsible only for our little corner of it.
Thanks for your acting and your writing. I have enjoyed and appreciated both.
