There are some things we can take for granted in the world: the sun rises in the East, Jeff Weaver won't make it out of the 5th inning, and George W. Bush will try to connect everything to 9/11:
During a speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition in Washington yesterday, Bush took things one step further. While the president didn't blame Hurricane Katrina on al-Qaida... Read More
I just hit two deadlines for The Onion AV Club with three minutes to spare. I didn't know if I was going to do it, so I'm quite relieved that I got there on time.
Now I really need to get to work on my next book, Do You Want Kids With That?, which is nearing its final editiing stages . . . but... Read More
So you want to play geeky games, huh? My hubby and I are big fans of new classics like Zombies and Chez Geek. Check them out.
I grew up in my parent's business, a Hobby Shop which also sold comics and RPGs. I have watched the games go from the basic D&D starter kit through Magic the Gathering to Warhammer.
Somehow I never got into much of it, I just liked the geeky boys!
I'm totally blushing because you were on my Top 5 Heartthrobs of your Pre-Teen Years list.
Lactose tolerance in adults is caused by a mutation that some north Europeans carry, I read somewhere. People are supposed to become lactose intolerant sometime during their childhood.
As far as you being a failure, I was just moaning to my relatives a couple weeks ago that I wish I had accomplished more in my life. The thing that ultimately triggered that feeling was coming across your blog here.
I noticed the stuff you have done: acting (well done, by the way), journalism, game-playing expertise, neat adventures running around town, and all that. I was like: gee, Wil Wheaton is like a Renaissance man - and he is barely 3/4 of my age!
Just wanted to say, even when you are feeling down - there are people that really look up to you.
I played five heads-up poker matches today, and went 1-4.
But I got bad beat to lose in every. fucking. one. The worst was when I got it all in with AKd, got called by Q9o (WTF?) and the fucker caught a nine on the turn to bust me. Why this jackass pushed with Q9o is just --- anyway, I won't whine about it.
wow if I like knew what you were talking about I may actually be turned on, kinda like geek speak does to me.
And on a side note my husband posted to your journal yesturday and Oh my fucking hell I had totally forgotten about those WC dies Parodies. PS i already know my dear sweet husband is a total tard that is why I love him so much.
interesting article you put up.......as an insane creative person I find it fascinating that science tries to figure me ouT..............its as if another universe were floating inside my head......dripping itself out ever so sLOWLY
Michael Chertoff and Michael Brown are incompetent shitheads who should resign or be fired immediately. Failing that, George Bush should just pin a medal of freedom on them, thank them for doing almost as good a job as he has done, and let someone who knows what the fuck they're doing step up and help people.
The way the Bush administration has handled the victims... Read More
There was an incredibly hot alt.girl working at the register. She had dark hair, piercings in her lips and ears, a partial sleeve down one arm, and exuded an unmistakable sensuality.
She took my books, and looked at my SG T-shirt.
"Oh my god! I love Suicide Girls!" She said.
"Me too," I said. "I'm a technology editor on... Read More
Calling all 80s nostalgia geeks! MacMAME.net has an extraordinary collection of hightly entertaining reviews of movies that feature classic arcade games.
The movie is firmly planted forever in 1979, when it was filmed during the summer. If the disco music didn't do it, then the arcade scene certainly would have. It's a perfect time... Read More
So President douchebag gave his little talk tonight. With vast majorities of people all over the country finally waking up to what a lying sack of incompetent shit he is, he needed to really rally the country back around his version of reality.
Yeah, I was taking a nap and woke up to him droning on and rushed in a panic to turn it off before any more of it seeped into my subconscious. I hope I caught it in time.
When I play my fucking guts out in a 10 +1 MTT SNG, and get heads-up, and find AK in the big blind.
The other guy (who has played moderately well, but gotten VERY lucky a few times) raises me, so I push, and he turns up KJo. I think I'm about to win my first ever 100... Read More
