    You don’t have to play the card, I’m pretty sure we were going to watch you on TBBT anyways. 🙂

    Cute.

    Like I’d EVER miss a new episode of Big Bang anyway, but one with you? Oh, yeah, I’m so there!

    I’ve never watched the show, but okay. Twist my arm why don’t you?

    But you didn’t say the words… 🙂

    That’s low, even for BBT Wheaton! Poor Moonpie!

    Oh, Meemaw, what a big sword you have!

    Love the card mock up…truly priceless.
    We’ll be watching tonight too.

    WWUUBRRGG? No, that doesn’t make sense. “Dead Meemaw” was an evil enough tactic that the blackness needs to dominate. UUUBBBBB seems appropriate for such an awesomely evil yet brilliantly manipulative strategy.
    I’ll be watching in part because of Evil Wil Wheaton’s reappearance but also because of something George R. R. Martin posted. Could Sheldon be attempting to defend himself against his arch-nemesis?

    I call my grandma “MeeMaw.” All the cool kids do.

  12. Gina says:

    I will be watching TBBT anyway. I did read that Warlords of Ka’a have indeed been released as a game. I hope that is true. Playing a game of it with you would be truly awesome!!

    Swords… Swords…
    That reminds me – I don’t know if anybody else brought this up yet – but did you hear about Jones Soda doing a limited edition Soda 6 Pack for The Guild?
    That’s RIGHT – Felicia Day (& Co.) quenches your mighty thirst!

    Didn’t know you were a Zerg player, Wil. oh well, we can’t all be Protoss fans.

  15. Ericostby says:
    13 October, 2011 at 10:38 am

    So, it’s like Progenitus, only 1 fewer Black, and falls much easier to a counter spell. And it’s sorcery speed, so that’s just generally unhelpful. I’m not sure this card would see much play against a rational player. Then again, we are speaking of Sheldon Cooper……

  16. Wil says:
    13 October, 2011 at 10:49 am

    Yeah, I made a joke about how I pitched a Fawkes soda to them, but it turns out that awesome isn't a flavor.

  17. Mike Knapp says:
    13 October, 2011 at 10:49 am

    Sure, I could use me some Evil Wil Wheaton.

  18. Alex Pope says:
    13 October, 2011 at 10:55 am

    Damn you, Wil Wheaton!
    I knew I shouldn’t have spent my only counter on your ‘dread’ Healing Salve!
    I’ll get you next time Gadg… Wheaton!

    I laughed like crazy when I saw this on Twitter last night. Well played, sir. Well played. Of course, between you and The Bloggess, I spent most of last night convinced it was Thursday and I was missing BBT and…yeah, working nights will do that to one’s mind. Anyway, I’ll be watching tonight around PST, even though I’m in CST. No TV here, so I’m off to a friend’s once she gets home. Priorities and all that. 😉

    You could have saved Dead MeeMaw.
    Destination viewing tonight here in Central Jersey!

  21. Lesley Leach says:
    13 October, 2011 at 3:11 pm

    Well I was gonna watch you ANYWAY! But this card makes it all the MORE exciting!!! Lets just hope the Tornado Card here in MD that may kill our power. Hopefully MeeMaw will be looking down on us and make sure our cable continues to work! Can’t wait!

  22. Julian says:
    13 October, 2011 at 3:24 pm

    I can’t wait to see this episode with you and Brent! When ever it reaches the UK.

  23. Nick Gee says:
    13 October, 2011 at 4:52 pm

    Hey Wil. Speaking of The Big Bang Theory.. have you checked out the online version of Mystic Warlords of Ka’a? I know you’re a pen and paper gamer.. but do you play any sort of collectable card games?

    Another Will Wheaton Sausage Fest?…..

  25. Pastelstar says:
    13 October, 2011 at 5:12 pm

    Watching right now! Also, your booty is spectacular in those jeans. Just sayin.

  26. Nora Bear says:
    13 October, 2011 at 5:31 pm

    So, my husband had to explain the “sausage fest” remark. I’m pathetic.

  27. 58limited says:
    13 October, 2011 at 5:33 pm

    Excellent. Love that the Velvet Wesley made an appearance, and now Sheldon has a new mortal enemy!

  28. Isisgate1 says:
    13 October, 2011 at 5:36 pm

    OMG!!!! This was so much awesome I can’t even begin to quantify it. Spotted the portrait right away and let out a squee that prolly disturbed the neighbors….no way to explain how totally cool all this is. 🙂

  29. adichappo says:
    13 October, 2011 at 5:38 pm

    So…really, how many of your own things made it into your “home” set? That was brilliant!!

    Great show, dude. Now I’m just wondering if Evil Wil has gone back to the light side of The Force, and Brent has now embraced the darkness.

  31. Bart Gold says:
    13 October, 2011 at 6:11 pm

    Whoa… Grandma’s rocking two hands’ worth of Cimmerian Steel!

  32. Wesley Hensley says:
    13 October, 2011 at 6:28 pm

    Very interesting turn of events. I especially enjoyed seeing the velvet Wheaton in the background.

  33. Jorgé says:
    13 October, 2011 at 6:45 pm

    Never miss an episode, and was so excited to find out tonight was the return of Evil Wil Wheaton… Loved that ending, what a treat it was!
    And hey, for 50 bucks will you and Brent come to my birthday party? There’s gonna be cake.

  34. Wayne Zombie says:
    13 October, 2011 at 7:13 pm

    One of these days I’ll get to see the third Wil TBBT ep.

  35. Helengravesnyc says:
    13 October, 2011 at 7:29 pm

    Hope it’s okay if I watch on Hulu, because I have spent the entire god-damned night helping to paint and assemble a three-D topographical map for an 8th grade Earth Sciences class that I am not in fact taking (the fucking joys of parenthood).
    But really, looking forward to it! It’s one of the pleasures I’ve promised myself once this nightmare is over and all the blue and green paint is washed away and the stray bits of foamcore board are picked up and tossed out.
    Also – Guild finale today! It was great.

  36. Mike Keith says:
    13 October, 2011 at 7:46 pm

    Loved the episode. And the use of a magic card to entice us to watch, is just icing on on the cake.

  37. Heather Maher says:
    13 October, 2011 at 7:51 pm

    It’s spelled Me-Maw down here in Houston and Galveston

  38. Nicole Gothgen says:
    13 October, 2011 at 8:05 pm

    Loved how evil Wil Wheaton isn’t so evil anymore! And I love that you managed to get the velvet Wesley in the backround.

  39. Karibare says:
    13 October, 2011 at 8:36 pm

    Love the card and the episode. Great job Wil.

  40. FABIAN says:
    13 October, 2011 at 9:46 pm

    Wil,
    I did not see you work tonight. I have faith that you did a great job. After viewing your last entry, a question lingers. Are you feeling OK?
    FG

  41. Kristi says:
    13 October, 2011 at 10:02 pm

    Bwahaha! That reminds me of the Unhinged card, “Granny’s Payback.” http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=74281

  42. Jon Snow says:
    13 October, 2011 at 10:27 pm

    Awesomesauce! My wife and I really enjoyed the show!

  43. Amber McGlynn says:
    14 October, 2011 at 2:51 am

    I loved the guest appearance by Velvet Wesley. There may have been a squee or three…
    Well played Mr. Wheaton, well played.

  44. Nick Gee says:
    14 October, 2011 at 4:57 am

    Look at youself.. you sound like a spammer. 🙁

  45. Chuck Field says:
    14 October, 2011 at 5:24 am

    Wil, Please tell the story of how Velvet Wesley (and anything else you may have provided) got into the show. Was this your idea? I literally howled and my 82 year old mom just gave me this funny look. I had to explain it during a commercial break so’s not to talk over the preponderance of funny lines. You and Brent were great!
    I also liked how educational this episode was. I’d never known you could do such things with those action figures! (Ohhh what I could do with a Dr. Crusher figure…)

  46. Craig Berger says:
    14 October, 2011 at 6:22 am

    Wait.. Is your character now GOOD Evil Wil Wheaton??

  47. Ivona Foster says:
    14 October, 2011 at 6:43 am

    BBT is one of the favorites in our family, wouldn’t miss it! Good to see you back, even if you decided to not push Sheldon’s buttons anymore 🙁 We LOVED Evil Wil Wheaton

  48. Peter Svedman says:
    14 October, 2011 at 7:22 am

    That was the most Evil Wil Wheaton I have seen. The long game is exasperating but worthwhile…I hope.

  49. Rktsci says:
    14 October, 2011 at 7:28 am

    In honor of Evil Wil on BBT, I present 8-bit Evil Wil: http://imgur.com/3x8Cz

    What happened at the very end when Brent tore open the figure? Damn CBS running past my DVR cutoff!
