    Funny. I think they like the traffic they get from doing that. Go with what works

    Hey Wil I’ve got a buck, can you do my answering machine message?

    Now I’m sure you’re a True Geek. Userfriendly is an extremely cool site, and you’ve been mentioned (lampooned, skewered, roasted, honored, and paid homage to) twice in a week, which will never happen to most of us.
    Congrats.

    I think they made you fat — but hey they know you still out there. I know we aren’t suppose to write about other things but I’m so happy I have to tell someone– My 7 year old with autism put his socks on all by himself today for the first time. Just think maybe he will be able to fully dress himself someday.

    Ouch! Sorry if I’m the only one but that seems a little bit nasty to me. great graphics:-) Actually I guess it is a bit of an honour and all that. in a way. Not that I’D like it but I’m sure some people would. Ok I’m rambling. I’ll shut up now.

    …but it’s a bus transfer to Beelzebub!
    If you can’t match that, don’t even ask… =]

  14. Ryan says:
    10 September, 2002 at 9:38 am

    It’s funny and an honor that he gets toasted in Userfriendly about a cash crunch, obviously they haven’t seen the checks roll in from Wil’s advertising revenue. [grin]
    Sorry I’m just adding to the flame Wil day, my bad.
    Peace.

    Being a computer geek myself, I play just about any decent game I can get my hands on, though I tend to go more for RPGs like Arcanum or Baldur’s Gate than the Trek games. Doesn’t matter that much to me who the voice actors are, I never read the credits anyway. But hey, whatever works.
    Oh, for non-geeks, code is what makes your software run, whether its a game or not. 🙂

    Good, good humor. It’s nice to see you in a cartoon I read regularly. Even if it is lampooning you.

    Thats funny! They just made you a just a little to FAT. And they are lampooning you in a good way (somewhat). Hey by the way I’ll give you five bucks to do my answering machine message. This way you will mak the big bucks.
    When will we hear about las Vegas!

    Wil,
    You’re so damm sexy! Seriously!
    It’s such a shame that you’re married, you have no idea what your missing!

  23. Harv says:
    10 September, 2002 at 10:10 am

    At least you’re getting the $0.76. All they offered me was the bus transfer. 🙁

    This is my wishlist for life. Everyone should make one, and check it from time to time, and see if you’re living your life, or just existing.
    Climb a tall mountain
    Raft the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon
    Write a book
    Inspire someone to do something Great
    Host Talk Soup
    Be interviewed for The Onion A/V Club
    Do a voice in a computer game
    Do a voice on The Simpsons
    Make you think
    More to come…

    http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20020910
    and also check out the day before’s cartoon as well (as it’ll give ya a better frame of thinking for todays IMO).

    Oh, honey, it’s brilliant.
    And I don’t think it’s mean. Okay, maybe a tad, but it’s still funny.
    He did make you look fat, but your even sexier now then when you were on that starship…er..thingy….show….with the guy in the beard….and the one with the guy who spoke in English accent. Can’t remember the name, but I think it had to do with something about finding Rick Berman’s spine.
    To all the straight boys I loved…

    This kind of exposure reminds me of that later Seinfeld episode where George reveals that his technique for getting more dates is to simply hang around long enough until he’s like a familiar old jingle “Co…STANza!” (Just kidding)
    Any exposure is good exposure. If you’re familiar enough to at least be the punch line in a good-natured joke, that’s obviously a good sign.
    btw, are you starting to look more like Dangerfield now that you’ve passed 30?

  27. threecheersforagnosticism says:
    10 September, 2002 at 10:32 am

    that was downright amusing.
    wil, kudos to your self-deprecation.
    the cartoon was a refreshing break from your consistenly good writing.
    best wishes

    Damn, I want to go to Vegas, my fiance has
    been a few times(with her girlfriends-scary)
    and Id like to go… Maybe just the guys,
    but Im sure I would get in trouble somehow 🙂

    if, in fact, it really WAS a bus to beelzebub, i think they would have gotten the character rendering just a tad bit more on the correct side. i’ve met wil. he looks NOTHING like bill gates. not even a little.

  30. Sarah says:
    10 September, 2002 at 11:07 am

    Okay, this is only on-topic because it’s another reference to Wil – does anyone know about “Speechless”? Here’s the link where I read about it: http://people.aol.com/people/special/0,11859,179788,00.html (you’ll have to search for “wheaton”)

  31. Sarah says:
    10 September, 2002 at 11:11 am

    Nevermind, thanks to the power of Google I found a lot more info. I’m just way behind on the times!!

    The cartoonist in question is obviously a member or lurker on WWDN. So far we know that he’s Canadian, and he likes to draw. More clues as they surface, he can’t elude us forever…

  33. Janece says:
    10 September, 2002 at 11:19 am

    Okay, okay… but you have to love Soul Coughing!!! 😉 Cheers!

    tres cool!

  35. tskll says:
    10 September, 2002 at 11:41 am

    Illiad is whacked! Really! To think he would only offer $0.76 cents and a bus transfer for you to do voice over work is just so arroga- hey Will? Where are you going and what’s with the Lavoris? ; )

  36. kurt says:
    10 September, 2002 at 12:11 pm

    wil.
    i love your sense of humour & ability to laugh at yourself. well done.

  37. pyrofenix says:
    10 September, 2002 at 12:21 pm

    They seem to know what drives in traffic – and realize bunches of it come from here. You know people like you when they pick on you. Right?!? 🙂

  38. Ryland says:
    10 September, 2002 at 12:23 pm

    Ha! I’ve got some loose change, Wil, want to perform a menial task for me? Hey, it was funny the first 10 or 15 times, what the heck.
    Seriously, though, $0.76? Sounds like they’re trying to low-ball you, just like Creation did. I think it’s time for Wil’s Posse to lay the smack down on UF. Represent!

  39. Stephanie says:
    10 September, 2002 at 12:48 pm

    Hey, it was in the comments on that cartoon that I found http://www.wilwheaton.net. Am I glad I did!
    Always been a fan of your work, especially what I saw on The Weakest Link. I was laughing way too hard at that. . . .

    Uncle Willie …he’s our man!!….If he can’t do it…….well who cares…he’s still the man!!!

  41. Arcy says:
    10 September, 2002 at 1:04 pm

    I think Wil should stop drinking so much ‘Dew.
    But this is cool. Very cool.

  42. Gaea says:
    10 September, 2002 at 1:10 pm

    Hey we should not have complained about Wil’s long entries, next thing you know he’ll just be down to one word…

  43. Illiad says:
    10 September, 2002 at 1:17 pm

    This is from the cartoonist in question. Wil is da MAN. 🙂

  44. thndrcloud says:
    10 September, 2002 at 1:49 pm

    So now Illiad has delurked on your site Wil, when will you be making an appearance on the UFie comment boards? We’re waiting for you…..

  45. Unky says:
    10 September, 2002 at 2:14 pm

    Jeez, Wil, I on you all the time. Where’s the love?

  46. Unky says:
    10 September, 2002 at 2:16 pm

    That last statement was supposed to say I clown on you all the time with a link to this: http://www.canhed.com/08-30.gif
    Oh sweet frickin’ irony.

  47. Kristina says:
    10 September, 2002 at 2:26 pm

    Lol. Thats so wrong. Oh dear, this reminds me of that show that I use to watch so long ago, which the name escapes me. Celebrity something or another where they had a long table and all the celebrities would have their time to be up at the podium and roast another celebrity or few. It was hilarious and some were just downright mean. All in all I guess it’s good clean fun. Wil ya gotta love all attention, whether it be negative or positive, this just means that they are spending most of their time pre-occupied with thoughts of you.
    Kristi =)

  48. wil says:
    10 September, 2002 at 2:26 pm

    LMAO, Unky.

  49. Unky says:
    10 September, 2002 at 2:29 pm

    Thanks, Wil! I did more on the convention that pokes fun at a mix up between you and William Effing Shatner. I’ll let you know when they’re up.

  50. Drakensykh says:
    10 September, 2002 at 2:29 pm

    I imagine Wil late at night, doing google searches on himself for hours, compiling lists of hits on Wil Wheaton and Will Wheaton and Wil Weaton and Will Weaton and Wil Weeton and Will Weeton and Whil Weatin and Wheel Wheat and Wild Wheaton and Wilt Wheeton and Wil Wilton and . . . . .
