from the vault: the autumn moon lights my way
I wrote A LOT about my sons, and our relationship, during this five year mission. It's rewarding and special to look back at those posts, now, knowing everything I know.
WIL WHEATON dot NET is open for business
After a long Exile, I returned home this weekend. Until the heat death of the universe or I stop blogging (whichever comes first), I'll be back at WWdN.
Treat her like a lady, and she’ll always bring you home.
This is the second to last post I made at WWdN:in Exile. I’m copying it here for completion’s sake. In 2001, blogs were very new things. In fact, as much more time was […]

This weekend, after way, way too many years in exile, I’m finally returning home. Wow. Typing that made me feel all the feels. I wasn't expecting that.
hahahaha
I can’t help but notice the fact that the description of the boy fits neatly on Wil 😉
Awesome, that just made my day.
It’s a trap!
(yeah, I had to.)
Yeah, except Cthulhu doesn’t need to bait people with internet chat… Oh, never mind. Funny.
My toddler son has a Cthulu plushie…is that wrong? We also want to get him an Alien face-hugger plushie.
I met my wife in a chat room. I am not Cthulhu… OR AM I? *queue evil music*
LMAO! I had no idea where that was going and I was getting very concerned for the girl – as I should be! Those Cthulhu are dangerous! Does this mean you’ll be bringing Munchkin Cthulhu to the set of Big Bang Theory?
Also: my wife has in fact lost her sanity
Dude, I just gigglesnorted. +1 for you.
Awww Cthulhu isn’t all bad,
rub his head and he just purrs
like a kitten.
I met you once on an airplane about 20 years ago going from Heathrow to LAX. I knew you looked familiar but I didn’t know who you were. I guess I was staring because you took off your headphones and said “hello”. I ran away. I won’t make the same mistake next time. I’ll say “hello” back, and then run away.
I am not a Cthulhu and I never ever saw you ever again in person.

I met my wife online, but I’ll be honest, before we met in person I did my best to find a mutual friend who knew her to confirm that she “isnt the kind of person whos gonna make a “man suit” out of me like a twisted inverted buffalo bill scenario” turns out she had asked the same woman beforehand if im “the kind of guy who keeps young women on ice in the freezer to have my way with later”.
Thats how I knew we were meant for each other. Also, yes that is actually how we met and what we asked.
This just made the desktop!
Okay, that’s just too funny. I have a few friends who are probably laughing themselves silly at this.
I met my fiance playing a fantasy MMORPG. Is that just as bad?
Firstly,
Hey Alisa,
I’d love to talk about this with you in more detail as I’d really like to get a few tips from you in this area.
Secondly,
Regarding this post “never trust anyone on the internet…”
Well, considering this is coming from a guy on the internet . . . haha.
Thanks for the giggle. Very funny.

Cthulhu always kicks our ass in Arkham Horror.
Reminds of the old “Campus Crusade for Cthulhu” posters.
“*it* found *me*”

S.
Has anyone noticed the similarity between Admiral Ackbar and Cthulu? Coincidence? I think not!
the more you know…
Haha! Love it!!
This strikes me as a PSA you would see on the back of a “Rudy – The Undead Hound” comic for young adults.

Wow, that is just funny! lol
That’s the most awesome thing I’ve seen so far today! THANK YOU! ^_^
Perhaps Cthulhu realized that people weren’t bothering to sleep anymore. Some people just can’t sleep, and others stay up all night trying to beat just one more level of Dead Space, because at night, they can see the screen better without all the damn sunlight glare that filters in no matter how many shades you use.
So, Cthulhu disguised himself as a somewhat famous actor who made his debut on a TV show about boldly flying to distant galaxies, pissing off the inhabitants, then quantum leaping their asses back home so their bald leader would not get his brain polished by a giant Slor. Only a select handful remembered this actor because he also appeared on a movie about a ball of swirly colors that fell from the sky and made the water supply resemble the T-Virus, which caused his momma to get locked in the attic because she started looking like a head of broccoli. But those who did remember were prime targets for Cthulhu’s mad woo’ing skills. He even growled out some nonsense that Gene Roddenberry thought would make an awesome name for a character. Wssssssssssssssssssssllllleeeekkkkrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*farts a couple times to clear the stutter*rrrrrrrrrrrrsssssssssrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
In episode 97 of season 46.2 you catch a brief glimpse of Mr Wheaton slipping out of character. His eyes flash for a second and if you have the zoom feature on your DVD player, you will notice about 5645697894789768 devoured souls reflected in his cornea. The effect only lasts for a moment, but Cthulhu/Wheaton stands there motionless, savoring the flavor of the toasty damned.
Cthulhu just did a double take from behind his computer and shouted “Wiiiiiiiiiilll!” to the sky in anger.
that was fricking hilarious. mind if i steal it for my facebook and twitter page? 🙂
Dude – when I read the blog post title, I all thought you were going to get a restraining order on me. I’m still worried. . .
HAHA Mine too!! At work no less ;).
lol Yeah, mine is at work as well. I work in a very relaxed and Cthulu friendly environment.
I don’t but they can’t say anything about it because it isn’t really offensive either 😀
Speaking of H.P. Lovecraft! That’s just hilarious.. wow so glad you posted that. Hmm.. I wonder how many Cthulhu’s are on here.. *evil music comes in.* Muahahahahahahah.
*waves tentacles @ CrusherLuvr4Ever*
I hear Cthulhu drives a windowless white van, too. be careful.
Awesome. I would let him steal my sanity over a nice dinner and some scented candles any day.
Anjelica my dear, this one is for you!!!!
Yog Sothoth is my boy, we cruise Sarnath pumping tunes by Erich Zann–get laid in the Witch House then wasted at Innsmouth and then crash beyond the walls of sleep. You know how we roll, in strange aeons even death must die!
Well, I met my wife on wbs (anyone remember that one?). 10 years later, he is pretty close to insane now. Guess I am one of the Great Old Ones, too.
Nah … I blame the kiddos for that 😉
HA! I snorted
Allow me to reference my list of Fark clichés.
You, sir, along with Cory Doctorow and John Rogers, have won 1 (one) internet. You may pick it up on the way out.
/has met more creepy weirdos offline than in the AOL chatrooms of the late ’90s & IRC combined.
LMAO.
That’s freakin’ awesome. I’d share with my friends, but only a small fraction of them would get it. And those have probably already been here anyway. 😉
Came to me via a dear friend (@lpff), and she nagged it from @neilhimself. Nice to see these things get where they’re needed. Happy sigh…
My husband and I met online… in a game chatroom, actually. Both of us are out of our minds so I’m positive neither of us are incarnations of Cthulu… this parasite growing in my abdomen is a whole other story. We’re pretty positive it is a hybrid of Stewie and Cthulu, which we have lovingly named “Stewthulu”.

LMAO!! – Good one!
Huh, and I thought I just had to be afraid of whiny fanboys cramping my style…one of them could cramp my whole reality!
Are you the same author “Whateley” that penned “I Cthulhu” or What’s A Tentacle-Faced Thing Like Me Doing In A Sunken City Like This (Latitude 47° 9′ S, Longitude 126° 43′ W)?
By the way, Chris Hansen ran across a Cthulhu predator on NBC Dateline not too long ago.
