hey Wil Wheaton! I don't know you personally, but you inspire me so much and I love reading your blog. I'm 20, and you've reminded me not to grow up too fast and to really indulge in what you love (as long as you also work hard!), and how important my friends and family are. You probably won't read this comment because it will be buried under a 100 other comments, but just know you've totally been one of the inspirations for some random girl in Texas to live her life in the best way possible! Go you, and I hope your 2011 is even better than your 2010. Happy New Years :)

If this was a facebook status, I would like this so many times. (Well, I'd like it, then unlike it, then like and unlike it again, over and over until you had about 10 notifications telling you how much I like this). I am now all warm and fuzzy inside from reading this :)

I think sweaters follow you. also dude, I can't wait for your episode of the Big Bang Theory to air, or for the next season of the guild to come out (Fawkes! Codex! holy shit!)... if I watched Eureka I probably would be excited for your episode on that too, but I've never seen that show. might check it out just 'cause you've always done roles on interesting shows. (also at a star trek con last weekend Brent Spiner cast you as Tom Cruise in a hypothetical movie. I don't remember the context of the question though...)

Wait... so you're saying that if I can manage to get at least 300 people together, you'll come to Texas? of course, I can add wootstick to my list of excuses to go visit a part of the country I've never been to before. hmmm.

er, I meant have a *good* day, although a goo day might be fun too.

Dear Wil Wheaton, can I have your life? I'm a poor filthy college student and looking at flooring samples at Home Depot sounds a lot more fun right now than studying for exams. X.X also, your appearances on the Big Bang Theory are considerably awesome. The friends I watch it with don't know who you are, so they don't understand it when I squee and go "I read that guy's blog!" :-P anywho, have a goo day.

Or, there should also be one that's just "Coffee. Black." for Janeway. She's a trooper, I tell ya.

DUDE. THAT IS THE BEST MUG IDEA EVER. you officially win, Wil Wheaton. I totally started drinking Earl Grey tea because of Picard (and because that was the only other interesting option at the gas station besides green tea). I'm so buying this asap.

aaaaaaah! I missed the episode because I was at work (every monday night... I miss Heroes and Big Bang Theory >:-[ ) Big Bang Theory doesn't seem to show up in full episodes on Hulu.com... lame! I've seen the clips, though, and it looks like it was awesome.

Hey Wil, just wanted to let you know that I totally sorta kinda started playing D&D because of you! A couple of people that I see during lunch sometimes are starting a D&D game for every other day between classes and at first when they were talking about it I was like "ehh.." but I thought, "hey, this is the game Wil Wheaton plays! hell yea!" So they're helping me make a character and everything. It sounds like a pretty interesting game, the only thing I've ever played that seems similar is Risk, which, besides chess, is my favorite strategy game ever. Yea. Just wanted to tell you that you inspired another hapless geek to start playing D&D. If my soul is doomed it's all your fault :-P

Man. I've never had a dog, but I can imagine how this must hurt because pets do become such good friends and they become such a part of our lives. sorry for your loss... =( I hope the days are sunny for you.

Seriously! I've thought of this too. I wonder if he realizes how much of a voice he has, because all these people are paying attention to him as an actor and now a producer?

Omg. Before this, I didn't know what the wolf shirt thing was. Needless to say, I laughed for a very, very long time. I haven't laughed that hard in ages...

Man, if I coulda seen the stars from my city when I was a kid, I would have loved astronomy that much more. My favorite field trips were to the planetarium; it was just amazing- especially looking at the sun through the little reflector telescope thing they had set up. I never understood constellation maps so I never found constellations, though. Thank you sooo much for the links!! This is pretty much your coolest blog post EVER.

hear hear! Well said about this new phenomenon. Yay internet!

I didn't watch it when it happened, but I saw the aftermath and thought it was pretty clever. funny too. I don't understand this RT thing, but everybody seems to be doing it. It's a trend within a trend!

Love the Picard song! It's great. This is a really awesome story, and Patrick Stewart seems like a real gentleman.

afterthought- I guess that was sort of off-topic. I started out thinking about CG, and how we can basically create awesome stuff for afree at home where 50 years ago no one could make it, even in a studio with a million dollars.

I love living in the future. I love the fact that our cell phones are more advanced than Captain Kirk's handheld communicator, and that I, as highschool graduate, could totally create a commbadge if I felt like putting in the time and money. I was reading a PC gamers magazine the other day, and it was an issue dedicated to awesome free games on line. What astonished me was that there was also a section for free game creation software- stuff you can download from the internet and create pretty decent games and grpahics(if you put in the right ammount of time, of course). And then today i was looking at a timeline of CG evolution in the entertainment industry, starting from the first tube to today's iphone and Transformers movie, and there was one point on the timeline for the first video game ever. It wasn't Pong, but Spacewar! made in 1961, and it was made by a couple of students who put 200 hours into creating these little pixel lines on rudimentary computer machinary stuff- and i realized i could make the exact same game by using Adobe flash for free at my school, and complete it in a couple of hours. Not to mention, physicists already know how to theoretically travel backward and forward in time, and scientist are tapping more and more into psychological nuances that can help to create better and more real AI... It's crazy stuff..

ooh! You should do a guest appearance in the show 4400! That would be so cool.

I think instead of watching the entire series, I'll just catch the one episode when it's on, if I can. I did watch Americanizing Shelley because of Wil Wheaton's appearance in it, and I ended up liking the movie itself. You're great promotion!

I read this story the other day(and it was great), and then the next night I had a dream that zombies were invading everyhere, and the only way to escape them was to ride rollercoasters because the zombie's limbs couldn't hold against the extreme velocity, and alot of people were eaten or turned into zombies. At the very end, I became a zombie but it was at the exact moment the antivenom was found and I survived. and you were in it! You were actually just one of the extras, running around screaming in the background, in the vicinity of a large english duke who was trying to protect his mansion from the zombie apocolypse. I think you were eaten. anyway. have a nice day!

Hey Wil Wheaton! I was browsing this very funny website today, and you were at the bottom of this page: http://www.latfh.com/page/3 It seems like you like to know where you are on the internet, so here it is... please tell me it's not creepy that I looked at it and thought, "hey look, that's Wil Wheaton. I wonder if he knows about it?" and, I still don't get D&D.

Oregon Trail = Awesome I once ate a little butter ball at a restaraunt just to see if I could stand it, and it was the worst two minutes of my life. Butter on everything else, however, is quite the opposite.
