Redshirts by John Scalzi

Another Audible listen by John Scalzi, narrated by Wil Wheaton. This experience was even amplified by Ber making her way through Star Trek (the original series) on Netflix. So every time I came back from the gym where I listened to Redshirts, she’d be watching Trek and I couldn’t  help but laugh. Redshirts is to […]

Wil Wheaton on Nerdist

Normally I listen to the Nerdist podcasts when Amber isn’t around. She says they’re indistinguishable from “Bob and Tom” because most of the episodes are just the guys laughing.

Titansgrave: #tablederp Edition

Tuesday is Titansgrave day! The cast made some fun faces during their episode “Danger at Reed Manor” last week, so I snapped some #tablederp screenshots.

I’m still catching up on all the videos, but I definitely enjoyed the Titansgrave panel from that event. One quote from Wil really stood out after a fan asked if Titansgrave could […]

Note-passing in Titansgrave

When you’re in a role-playing game, sometimes characters have more knowledge or perception of their whereabouts than the other members of their party. A good way for a dungeon master to give this information to the player is by passing notes. In Titansgrave, we’ve seen this happen a couple times. Most recently in chapter 5, “Staff […]

Team Wheaton

Amber and I have crushes on Anne and Wil Wheaton respectively. She likes to say that we’re ‘like Team Wheaton but less famous.’ With that in mind, here’s a recent online conversation between the two: via Yes, we were on opposite ends of the house. | WIL WHEATON dot NET.

Titansgrave Is Late. And That’s Okay.

Wil Wheaton said Titansgrave was gonna come out on June 2nd. On June 2nd we got an apology and an explanation for why it wasn’t coming out on June 2nd. Here it is: And I’m totally cool with this explanation. I’m excited to see the show and I’m disappointed that I’m not watching it right this […]
