Wil Wheaton is a homebrewer and reads HBT

[stratslinger]

For pete's sake, doesn't ANYONE remember Wil for his role on The Guild???

Heck yeah!

To go one step geekier - the D&D games (for folks into that sort of thing) he recorded with the guys from Penny Arcade were great also.

And one step less geeky, his recurring role on Leverage is always fun - though I don't really remember if they left things open enough for it to recur again, or if that door's been closed...

oh cable tv, sometimes I miss you . .just sometimes . . .

 

[lumpher]

he's the reason i couldn't get into tng (well, him and worf's little whiney brat). anyway, wil, here's to ya : DIE WESLEY DIE!!!!!!!!

 

[Homercidal]

Still better than "Boldly Staying where Man Has Stayed Before" DS9...

It wasn't my favorite ST series, but I would also like to state that I would server under Captain Janeway any day!

I admit I didn't know who this person was. I looked it up on Wiki. I still don't know who he is.

You aren't the only one.

Being a young kid at the time STNG was airing I was a fan of Wesley Crusher in Star Trek. Its cool to see Will has moved WAY beyond that role though. I also saw him on Google+ a while back when he first mentioned homebrewing on there he also mentioned making dog treats with the leftover grains. That was a dead giveaway that he reads here.

He also had a reoccurring role on Eureka.

Seriously, DS9 was "meh." TNG was my Genesis (the book, not the awful movie) but I really grew up watching Voyager seeing as I was 10 in 1995 when it premiered.

I know it's heresy but Voyager is my favorite series by far and I've recently confirmed that seeing as I've been watching all the ST series in chronological order over the last few months (I love you, Netflix on XBOX.) TOS is cheesy-awesome, TNG was the best at looking at the human-character and exploring morals and ethics, DS9 is meh, Voyager is similar to TNG but without the corny 80's writing, and Enterprise is also a meh. And I had high hopes for Enterprise... it premiered on my birthday....

I'm an Onion nerd more than a Star Trek nerd, but he used to write a hilarious thing in The Onion called "Games of Our Lives" where he'd review/rip on old video games.

Yes! More Voyager fans! I used to watch voyager late night as a teenager to put myself to sleep... Didn't work. But as soon as DS9 was on I was out like a light.

I personally love Wil's cameos on Big Bang theory, they are the best! Anything that makes Sheldon squirm!

Wesley Crusher wasn't nearly as bad as Alexander, that was bad.

Hold on, I just Googled this and found an article on homebrewing with kids quoting both Joffre the Giant, a YouTube channel I follow, and Wil Wheaton. When worlds COLLIDE!!!

Also, the article mentions that Mr. Wheaton brews with his college aged son. Suddenly, I'm feeling incredibly old...

Ryan is going to be 22 at the end of the month. For those of you who have been here since I wrote the 13 on 31 post, you now know how I feel every single day. The rest of you can get off my lawn before I call your parents.

Crap, you're right.

 

[Shooter]

You know, if he doesn't already have a handle on HBT, he should really seriously consider WHEATbeer.

 

[JonK331]

Wil Wheaton = Lumpher???

 

[bernerbrau]

You know, if he doesn't already have a handle on HBT, he should really seriously consider WHEATbeer.

What about Barley CRUSHER?

...

I hate myself now.

Of course he'd choose an Ultra Cool Name, like Fawkes.

He'd be making:

Fawking Superior Stout
Fawking Delicious Dunkel
Fawking Incredible IPA

Also, a t-shirt from Hijinks Ensue, a geek webcomic whose writers/artists are friends with the Wheaton.

I give you, "Three Wheaton Moon"

 

[Ace_Club]

Hey, why is there a thread about me being a member here?

 

[funkapottomous]

I've been following him on twitter for a while and remember seeing him talking about making an IPA with his buddy.

I WONDER IF HIS NEXT BREW WILL BE A WHEAT BEER?

 

[Homercidal]

I hope Wil never comes out on here (not THAT way!)

I have personally experienced celebs trying to interact on forums with citizens, and it doesn't work. Inevitably someone with issues posts how they don't like something they've done, or some political thing they've said, or whatehaveyou. And then the whole thing becomes a spiral of flame ending in hurt feelings and shttyness. I think Wil has already had that experience early on in his online adventures.

Us folk tend to forget that most people on TV are just humans like the rest of us and have feelings and usually just want to be "normal" (Ok, not Lindsay Lohan, or Paris Hilton, or... Well, I could go on and on, but you know what I mean.)

But it would be sweet if he could. I just don't think it will happen.

I DO hope he can get on Dr. Horrible Volume II when they make that though. That would be one sick party! We need another writers strike...

Wheaton?.... is that you?!

 

[Homercidal]

Wheaton?.... is that you?!

Is it that obvious?

I think if you go back and look at all of my previous posts, you will soon discover that I not nearly as witty or clever as Wil. Also, I know more about Homebrewing...

 

[knotquiteawake]

Is this is going to be our new joke when somebody asks a noob question or makes a reference to tabletop gaming, or 16-sided die?
"Who do you think you are? Wil Wheaton?"

 

[Revvy]

You guys wonder if he's lurked this thread?

What wrong with 16-sided dice? (For the record, it really ought to be a 20-sided die.)

[Revvy]

I figured it out..

Wildwest= Wil Wheaton......

He's been amongst us all along.
