So I was sleuthing for a certain image and I ran across these gems of the Wheatons and I just felt that the internet needed to be reminded of them. I mean, matching shoes?! Amazing.
Star Trek references and general adorableness from Wil Wheaton and Jeri Ryan while playing Star Trek Catan on Tabletop. My only regret is that there is not more Ryan (Wheaton) in this.

When I finished one of my photo ops in Ottawa, Nathan Fillion was doing one of his in the photo…
This is a thing of beauty.

Because the internet can always use more Wheaton GIFs.
So I happened to see this:
And I was like:
because this is really exciting to me. Here’s why:
I’m still very much a newbie / casual player when it comes to tabletop gaming, but, gosh, I love Tabletop. Not only is it fun to watch and generally a great quality web series, but it celebrates something traditionally seen as “nerdy” in a genuine, accessible way. (I talked about this in my submission to “As Seen on Tabletop.”) In other words, it celebrates and mainstreams a niche fandom. So, even if you have no interest in tabletop gaming (which is fine!), you’re probably a fan of something and enjoy connecting with other awesome people over your shared love (see: Tumblr.) Tabletop is just another great example of how celebrating fandom can bring people together. The fact that it’s well-produced and on a medium that is more in mainstream popular culture only gives the celebration of fandom more legitimacy.
TL;DR: Tabletop is awesome because it celebrates fandom, connects people. Hopefully that made sense.
This twitter conversation between my wife and my Space Mom is the best thing in the world today.
This is so wonderful.
Also, reminder that Wil’s oldest son, Ryan, is around my age, meaning that he is supposedly an adult who could have kids sometime in the next decade = SPACE GREAT-GRAND-CHILDREN. WHAT.

Just spent a good few minutes trying to figure out what the odd black box coming out of Wil’s pants in the first pic was…an oversized pager? giant calculator? indestructible box for storing his awesome sweaters?…then I realized there was also a car in the pic and that the black boxy thing is a side-view mirror.
Do you think I have a type or nah?
