"Don't let yourself get caught up in popularity contests. When you care about winning a popularity contest, or maintaining some kind of popular status, you make pleasing other people more important than being true to yourself.
One of the keys to happiness is not having a fuck to give about popularity contests or worry about what THEY will think. THEY don't know a goddamn thing,...

I can totally relate. In my thirties and sometimes I still have to remind myself of this.

Hey Will- I can relate as well. I think our generation(X) was the first to say fuck u to the status quo popularity thing. It has now gotten worse because of things like being connected to everybody all at once. Take this site for instance, it is essentially a huge popularity contest where u are able to vote yah or nah for the girls that want to reach the SG status. It is my opinion(everybody has one) that popularity among earthlings is a human condition that we cannot escape without way too much meditation and introspection on the subject.

Jockin' the table top! I love it. Wil Wheaton keep on being Wil Wheaton because you're good at being Wil Wheaton. Also, I can't believe your SG blog isn't filled with a billion comments like on G+ to name one example.
BTW, are you ever going to invite any SG's to participate in an episode of Table Top? Just sayin'.

^^^what she said
In 2008, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell declared that his top priority was to ensure that Barack Obama was a one-term president. In his failed pursuit of that goal, he has lead his party to unprecedented obstructionism, abusing the filibuster to bring all Senate business to a halt.
In the 2012 election, Americans overwhelmingly re-elected President Obama, cast more votes for Democrats than Republicans, and...

On it.
jacksalt:
As a lifelong resident of Kentucky, I want to deeply and sincerely apologize for the incarnation of evil known as Mitch McConnell. If it's any consolation, we don't like him either.

I was going to come up to comic con this week-end. I should of made it out. You should set up an SG Meet and Greet at these events some time.
So this is a thing that is happening:
Drew Curtis (my friend and founder of Fark.com), Greg Koch (my friend and co-founder of Stone Brewing Company) and I are collaborating on a limited-release beer that will come out just around Comicon in July.
It's an Imperial Stout, made with pecans, some wheat malt, a ton of rye, and aged in bourbon barrels. It's going to...

Your beer sounds awesome! Also, where can one obtain this new brew that shall be released? I pretty much have to try it with all that in the name!

And then there is this!!!
talamia:
I had to work on the 30th so to make up for it I played TT games 28, 29 and 31st which went well into the next morning of 1st April. Can't wait to see your episode on Star Trek Catan. I ordered Star Fluxx and Zombie Dice because they looked really quick and fun on your episodes I have Mensions of Madness, Game of Thrones board game and Battlestar Galactica board game on their way to me via international order. Can't wait.
Keep up the awesome work!
(I LOL'd when your wife hit the table on Ticket to Ride haha shame!!!)

Appearing as a guest at a big convention like MegaCon is a lot of fun, but its also exhausting. People always ask me if my arm or hand or wrist is tired near the end of a long day of signing, and I always tell them the truth: my body never gets tired; its my brain that is exhausted. Signing is so much more than,...

God, that is an extraordinary story. Thank you for sharing.
And of course now this is in my head (to the tune of Sgt. Pepper's):
"It was twelve years ago today
Ensign Crusher taught the web to play
he's been going in and out of style
but he's guaranteed to raise a smile
so let me introduce to you
the act you've know for all these years
(or the one and only Wil Wheaton, depending on which side of the album is your fav)
Wil Wheaton's "Wil Wheaton dot net"!
