To everyone at Penguicon:
ByWilMy friend, editor, and partner in crime, Andrew, is at Penguicon right now, and he’s graciously agreed to be a substitute me for the weekend. I asked him if he’d read the following at the opening ceremonies tonight…
The Art of War?
ByWilI haven’t read all of The Art of War in over a decade. I think it’s time I read it again. This time around, though, I’m considering buying the audio version from iTunes Music Store. Has anyone listened to that? What do you think? If you have a favored translation, annotated version, or other thoughts…
In which I am a Trolldad
ByWilRyan's home for the holidays, before he moves far, far away for his new job (hey, check out my son! He graduated college last week, and he starts a great job in two weeks! Go Ryan!!) The first night he was home, I told him that the warm covers for the bed he's sleeping on…
“This just keeps getting better!”
ByWilThe night before I left for PAX, I hardly got any sleep at all (thank you, ribacge, for picking Thursday night to hurt like a bitch) so by the time I got there on Friday afternoon, I was already down to single-digit hit points, and taking a -5 on all my rolls. … I think I played though it pretty well, but I missed the concerts on Saturday night, and felt a little “off” for the first 15 minutes of my panel on Sunday, until I picked up another +10 from the ohmygodstandingroomonly crowd. … I’ll have to give a full report when Wil’s Sinusital Ooze isn’t launching Slimers out of my head every five minutes, but I think I can sum it up in five words I repeated dozens of times during the weekend: “This just keeps getting better!”

Phoenix Comicon Rock Band Video Roundup
ByWilCrazy ideas that may or may not be crazy are taking up pretty much all of my free time this week, so my Phoenix Comicon trip report will have to wait until Monday, but since I promised to deliver a Rock Band roundup before the end of this week, here we go.
… Tararebeka shared this picture of me pretending to be cool at the end of the night: And this picture of me not even trying to hide what a total dork I am just before I pretend to be cool: Check out Joe’s awesome rock face and stance behind me!
…I can’t sing Steve Perry to save my life, and I wish the vocal track from my Mic was turned all the way off, but at this point, it’s not even about sounding good or even looking good; at this point it’s all about having fun and finishing an epic night with motherfucking JOURNEY, goddammit: attention european poker players!
ByWilI run these weekly tourneys at PokerStars, at 5:30 PST on Tuesday and 8:30 PST on Thursday. These games are filled with a really cool mix of players from hee-haw (me) to HAWESOME (GRob) and everywhere in between (Pauly, CJ, PokerGeek, Heather), but there aren’t that many players from the other side of the pond,…

Oh God, Cthulu in a towel. Do not want.
Also Hello Kitty is truly an unspeakable abomination.
BWAHAHA! Once again, Mr. Wheaton, your timing is perfect. If I ever needed a laugh, right now would be it. My Lupus is currently trying to kick my ass worse than it has in close to 4 years. But now at least I can laugh through my tears. UGH, shut up, Jules!
That was wonderful!
Great concept, it’s a shame about the voice acting sounding nothing like Cthulhu should (imho)
Cthulhu is an dork! Hail Yog Sogoth!
I sincerely hope you’ve seen Hello Cthulhu.
I especially enjoy the tentacles sinking the ship on the bottle.
Cthulu Old Spice man! That’s the name of my Manowar cover band…
It does, however, sound a lot like the guy in the Old Spice commercials, Isaiah Mustafa.
Wil, I know you dislike Facebook, but this is *so* going on my page!
Perfect timing. I just read Call of Cthulu and I’m going to start reading the other H.P. Lovecraft books. Also, thanks for proof of the evilness of Hello Kitty.
“Cthulu Old Spice man! That’s the name of my Manowar cover band…” is the name of my Weird Al cover band.
Awww… I saw the premise and immediately laughed. Then I saw the video and stopped… It was both too random and not random enough to work as a solid parody. The jokes were “things mentioned out of nowhere with no connection to anything whatsoever and break the flow.” In the original, they were completely random but sort of had an illogically logical flow that tied it all together. Things never stopped EVER in the original. This one is, “I’ve said something.” pause. “I did something random.” pause. “I said something else.” pause. “I did something crazy.” pause. “I did something crazy again.” Pause.
The random things, I felt, should have been worked into a continuous flow. “Look at your god. Now look at me. Now back to your god, now back to me. Sadly, he doesn’t smell like me, but he could if he used this Great Old Spice body wash. Look in my hand. it’s the necronomicon. Where are we? We’re at the mountains of madness where insanity will wash over you like my Great Old Spice body wash. Now back to my hand. The necronomicon is now an unspeakable horror. When you smell like me, anything is possible and it will probably rip your sanity from the feeble empty shell you call reality. Great Old Spice body wash. I’m on a horse.”
Oh well… It’s the internet. I’ll stop complaining about it.
“Brain in a Jar”!
I was waiting for the inevitable internet parodies, but I didn’t think anyone would make a Cthulhu one. 🙂
Damn, this just makes me want that SJG “Game Over Cthulhu Wins” shirt again!
Hey, speaking of which. Wil, did you ever take a picture of all those dice people gave you? I really wanted to see that. 10lbs of dice must look pretty epic. 🙂
Love it.
Well, shiver me timbers, this sonuva biscuit eater looks like he came up from the bottom o’ the sea from me pal Davey Jones locker (which is a really bad segue for) — Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day, ya scurvy scallywags — arrrr!
Totally off topic, though that vid was worth quite a few laughs, but just wanted to let you know:

I saw this (and immediately shared it) on Facebook, last week. When the unspeakable horror turned out to be Hello Kitty, I truly lol’ed. Also, I love the fact that he makes us take a sanity roll right off the bat!
Also, I tried to wear my “Tweet of Tweethulhu” maternity shirt earlier in the week, but I had washed it, and now, I’m too big to wear it (due on Friday). I still laugh at the idea of incubating a human behind Cthulhu (quoting you at GenCon when my husband and I ran into you on Thursday afternoon in the exhibit hall. Thanks for that!).
this is such a great post! It will really help me. Thank you!
Wait, is that… [fails sanity roll]

The “unspeakable horror” made me gigglesnort.
Haha! Now that was a good remake. 🙂
I’m personally partial to the following alternate take on “Look at your God. Now look at me.”:

“Of course you do. Brain in a jar.”
This just makes me unspeakably happy– and I agree with Cthulu– Hello Kitty is an Unspeakable Horror, CAPS fully intended.

How the world ends: a spam bot, having recently achieved sentience, combs the internet looking for answers about God and finds what it’s looking for in a YouTube post about Cthulhu.
