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.

Oops.

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.
Because the internet can always use more Wheaton GIFs.

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.
I don’t think I’ve shared this on Tumblr yet, so here goes! (Actually, maybe I have, but I’m not sure and whatever I’m too lazy to go check.)
Overly attached Wil Wheaton with my 1/16th Beverly, taken last year at the Montréal ComicCon.
Crusher-related arts & crafts = automatic reblog.

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.
GATES MCFADDEN: I’ve got my tricorder come to my room.
PATRICK STEWART: That is what Jean-Luc wanted to hear Dr. Crusher say.
WIL WHEATON: See—keep writing that fanfiction, someday it will come true!—Crush on Crusher - Star Trek: TNG Exposed (25th Anniversary)
Simply the best.
Once upon a time, Wil Wheaton posted Gates’ / 1/8th’s Tumblr (link, but seriously, if you’re actually reading this, you’re probably already following it) to Reddit. It got much love and made me happy.
Also, does this mean that Gates knows/does Twitter, Tumblr, and Reddit?! Coolest [space] mom ever. My mom is of the same generation and doesn’t even have a cell phone (which, I have to admit, is adorable in itself, but not very “cool.”)
Do you think I have a type or nah?
