1. That was so great I had to watch it twice. You looked absolutely giddy with joy…thanks for sharing!!

2. THAT WAS SO COOL!!!!
   The song was aweswome. Your reactions were GOLD!
   Ima watch it again!

3. That was HAWESOME!!!

4. hahahah WONDERFUL!!! When was this (during a panel or something?) and what was it for? Your reaction was priceless!

5. You’re such an entertaining, genuine, self effacing guy, that I think you’re totally worthy. Good for you for getting some good recognition for just being a fun bloke!

6. SO great!!

7. I’m so glad I was at that concert — that moment was completely priceless. (I loved your ceremonial presentation of the d20, too.)

8. AWESOME!!!

9. Look at you! Look how happy that made you! Aww, that is so unbelievably heartwarming. You are a lucky, lucky man to be living this life.
   I’ve never heard “My Monkey” before, so you can bet I’ll never be able to sing it straight as long as I live. x x

10. See, this is why you’ll never really be old — because you have that kind of gleeful delight and you’re not the least bit shy of sharing it!

11. Awesome! I am sooo going to PAX next year.

12. I think this was one of the highlights of the weekend for everyone! In my mind this is part of what sets PAX apart from every other gaming expo out there. Stuff like this just doesn’t happen at E3.

13. That was awesome – I love that you feel like just one of us geeks. Very refreshing!

14. that was awesome! and the big hug at the end made me tear up as well. heh. so much happy!

15. It was great, I tried to get a picture of your reaction but you saw me and I got a “confused WTF” look. I’m sure it was nothing, but I wanted to apologize, because I’m like that. So I’m sorry!
    In any rate, I got a fairly good picture of the group hug if you want it (and a few other good ones of at the table as I was waiting in line). Thanks again Wil, You’re wicked, you deserved that song!

16. Glorious. Just glorious. Best. PAX. Ever.

17. Wil, that was absolutely priceless!

18. I can’t imagine anything cooler not involving sex than being seranded by Jonathan Coulton.
    My friend Janani wrote a song for me shortly before a left for L.A. & she and her singing partner did it at NoShame (Iowa City’s premiere instant late-night live theatre event.)
    

19. Oh man, the ultimate tribute. WIN

20. I’ve been especially affected recently by watching other people be really, really happy. Its some kind of selective empathy. This had me bawling for you. Your ability to let yourself experience joy in your work and with your family and friends has inspired me to see the bright places in some tough times recently.
    Thank you.

21. At this point of my night the PAX exhaustion was beginning to set in but this woke me right up. This was absolutely one of my top PAX moments too, the amount of joy coming from everyone involved (and everyone in the audience) was totally indicative of the giant celebration that is PAX. <3 indeed.

22. You are adorable in that vid, dude! And what do you mean when you say that you’re “not worthy of something this awesome”?! You’re WIL freakin’ WHEATON, Secretery of Geek Affairs and all-around pretty great guy!

23. Wil, you are absolutely worthy of something this awesome. I’m not putting you on a pedestal or anything. I’d say the majority of the people I met at PAX are worthy of something this awesome. You are a great guy, and the universe is starting to notice. Embrace it.

24. *s*

25. That was awesome.. Times I wish i could have been there, but heck, I live on the East Coast

26. Wil, do you EVER get tired of being awesome?

27. This was awesome. I can’t quite make out all the lyrics, especially when you and the crowd lose it halfway through. Can they get posted?

28. that’s just freaking awesome. thank you for sharing that smile :).

29. all hail the (un)official king of PAX. shared this with my mom (who i surprised with a visit to see) and we were both laughing so hard… practically in tears.

30. That had to be really awesome! Way cool Wil.

31. The absolute best part is that you reacted EXACTLY the same way I would.
    OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!1

32. That was such an awesome moment and you deserved every second of it! I especially loved when you mimed a heart symbol while still on the Sumos and Kara elbowed you to make you stop it! Didn’t show up in this video but I remember seeing it while I was there.
    Oh, and here’s a link to the lyrics: http://www.jonathancoulton.com/wiki/index.php/My_Monkey/Lyrics

33. Very, very cool. And a Legend of Neil t-shirt wins an extra internet!

34. I have tears in my eyes. That. Was. Awesome.

35. Thanks for sharing this video. What an awesome experience.

36. You da man Wil. Let’s hope ‘the balance’ doesn’t knock you on your ass for that.

37. Wil, that was so amazing and cool. You’re a lucky guy. And fortunate that “Wil Wheaton” has the same number of syllables as “My Monkey!”
    

38. that was great! I loved it!

39. That was by far the best concert I’ve ever been to.

40. Tickets to PAX – $50
    Hotel room – $150/night
    Watching Wil Wheaton squee on Jonathon Coulton – Priceless
    oh, how I wish could have seen it live

41. Gween had it right… JOY! Thanks for sharing your moment, Wil!

42. awwwwwwwwww

43. Having been there, I can confirm. That PAX concert was full of win. Cheerful Arrrr!
    The best part was watching you totally surrender all the cool reserve you’d built up when giving the “Secretary of Geek” speech.

44. That was *AMAZING!* I’m SOOOOOO glad that there is the wonders of technology and the internet so that it could be recorded and put on You Tube for you to share…. Thank you for sharing
    LOVE!!!

45. Aw man…so very very cool…I was grinning ear to ear as I saw this and listened to it….I am so glad for you!! The great benefit of Twitter, for me, has been following you. This is so sweet!!! *happy sigh*

46. Ooh!!! That was awesome! Can we get this version on iTunes?!?!?! PLEASE!!!

47. You’re worthy, dude. ‘Nuff said.

48. Followed by the awesomeness of the “Secretary of Geek” speech, this was one of the greatest moment of the evening. The lolz, this brought them.

49. Wil, here’s a higher quality version of that video:

50. Wow. How cute is that. Thanks for being worthy, Wil. And thanks for being such a strong and positive representation of what it means to be “geek” for the rest of the world. We love you!
