  1. Have a great birthday! As someone who will also be 37 in a few months – you are NOT even close to old. 🙂
    Thanks for sharing one of my favorite clips on this joyous occasion. “Did you see him repressing me?!?!”

  4. Happy Birthday Wil! I’m also a ’72-er and my birthday is in 13 days.
    A Gift for You:
    Your movie Stand By Me has my favorite since I was 14 years old because I was so very much like Chris as a teenager. Thankfully I had my very own Gordie and we bonded over that movie and grew up to become two successful women.
    Stand by Me inspired me to not let the circumstances of my younger life define me but rather to transcend them.
    I have watched your career for many years and you blew me away on Criminal Minds. So scary! I know that you have many more years of success both as a writer and an actor.
    Cheers!
    Happy 37th Wil!

  7. Happy Birthday!
    You share a birthday, day and year with a close friend of mine. I remind her all the time, hehe. Hope this year continues the great things the last one brought you.

  9. 1974 here. Man you guys seem so old. 😛
    Missed you at Comic-con this year Wil. Was hoping to get a picture. My wife was also mildly obsessed with meeting you while we were there.
    Happy Birthday!!

  10. Happiest of b-days, Wil! Be honest, how long have you had that video clip in mind for your 37th 😉
    I was born in 87, as I love reminding my older friends, watching them do the maths and cry a little inside. I’m kind like that.
    Have a fantastic day, young ‘un!

  11. Dude, 37, that’s the same age as my mother.
    Okay, well, not really. She’s pushing 60 now. But she was 37 when I was first aware of how old she was, and somehow, it stuck. To this day, I still have it in my mind that she’s 37, and that’s the answer that immediately springs to mind if someone asks. To figure out how old she actually is, I have to calculate based on her birthdate.
    Happy Birthday, either way!

  12. Happy B-day. Yes, 37=not old. 43 however… only consolation there is I was at least born the same year Star Trek started. I saw today was your birthday before coming in to work and accessing the internets. It was on my Star Trek:Ships Of The Line calendar.

  14. Happy Birthday Wil.
    I have been 37 for 36 days.
    And Happy Geek Birthday Quadrumvirate Day to everyone else: Wil Wheaton, Geddy Lee, Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner) and NASA – all born on the same day.
    Found this site with interesting (maybe) facts about “37”: http://thirty-seven.org/index.html

  17. You’re not old. Only 4 years older than me (I turned 33 last weekend). My husband will be 37 in December. So no, not old.
    Happy birthday!

  23. “It’s my birthday, and so’s my wife!” Neither of us are 37 today, (40 and 39), but together we weigh the same as a duck. Happy birthday!

  25. We’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
    Cracking film. Think I’ll watch it again tonight.
    37’s not old, not when it’s only 6 months away for me! It’s one step closer to 40 though. Now that’s real old.
    Happy birthday.

  26. I was born in ’56 (though my internal mental image is stuck at 35). So you ARE young, dude.
    Love your work. Following you on Twitter. Dreaming that you might actually have played some game I designed for TSR or GDW or whatnot.
    Happy birthday!

  28. ahhhh Monty Python, makes me long for the shores of England!!! Haha
    Well you have a couple of years on me as I turn 30 this year? Any advice for someone who is rediscovering his inner geek at this time of life……….. Is this a crisis or a life choice!!
    Happy Birthday Wil, have a beer for me! Well actually I will have a beer anyway but still have an extra 1 and when you come to Toronto for that beer and book reading I will buy you 1

  31. That clip put me to sleep for the 2nd time, thanks Wil.
    AND a big Happy Birthday!
    Try the Arrogant Bastard Ale for a toast… “It’s not too expensive…You’re too cheap.”
    It’s good stuff man.

  34. That’s right. You are not old! Ya young, robotic pup.
    By the way, isn’t being robotic bad for thespians?
    In any case, Happy Birthday! Cue The Beatles

  35. How long did you have this video planned? At least a couple of months I figure. 😀
    Anyway, merry candles on a cake celebrating your birth day!

  37. happy happy happy birthday to you to you to you !!!
    37 is still young …
    and i am right behind you – 6 more months ’til i am 37 too …
    LOL
    😀

  39. Many happy returns, Wil! Hope you have a great day. I’m hitting the big 3-0 in a few months, but I refuse to accept that I’m old either!

  44. Happy Birthday Wil. I hope you have many cold beers and wonderful cake. Lucky you, you get to share your birthday with Geddy Lee. I share mine with Eric Clapton. I hope you enjoy your day.
    On a side note, Did you happen to notice that the new Xbox Live dashboard changed the way Netflix works? You can watch things as a party, its actually cool. My point is though that one of the things you can watch is the entire season of Leverage. The update does not go live until 8-11 but you can still get into the 2nd wave of the beta. They added a lot of features that improve the way it works.

  47. Happy Birthday Wil 🙂 May you have many more to come (and blogs, and d’n’d podcasts, and books.. and… and..)

  49. Happy Birthday, Wil! May you live to be at least twice the age you are now and have lots of money along the way. Enjoy yourself!
