[Respectloyalty1]

I think the Dev team for Ultima Online would love to hear your thoughts on UO...That's a serious statement.. I think you should call them up and say who you are and leave it at that..Cast the hook and I bet they'll bite..why not right? its only a email/phone call...Do it! Do it Now! (Pleasseeee hehe)

[ueberRegenbogen]

Terrible audio, but worth it! :D

[chrismax2005]

e looks so young and bright, l like him, always did

[bloodrunsclear]

Zork FTW

[CommanderZerg]

WHEATONNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nomoremaybes]

I love Wil's nod to the camera at the end. Great vid.

[makotoyoshikuni]

Why he not amazingly handsome anymore mao?

[faceyfaceface]

oh look its wesley crusher.

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

Nooo! not dysentary! how will my family ever get to Oregon?

[ensrifraff]

Night Trap

[giggleweed]

he's so dorky and cute lol

[Radica1Faith]

agreed you'd have to be gay not to have a man crush on him.

[Desimodontidae]

Shut up Wesley!

[Fanfardon]

Is Wil related to the grandfather on The Waltons?

[Molokai17]

was this guy in STAND BY ME???

[ZanasoYBayncuh]

Not sure if that question is sarcastic or not, but yes.

[0762798]

He was indeed! A great film.

[Foebane72]

"The bomb has been planted" TOO TRUE!

[mauriciosalinaso]

what happenend with the legend of atand by me

[jagfan84]

Wil Wheaton proves that the modern geek doesn't have to be a spotty gangly and socially inadept individual; they can be good-looking, smart and funny. Modern geeks FTW.

[Alfrunk]

He does? How so, especially considering he IS ALL THOSE THINGS!

[ZanasoYBayncuh]

So either you're deaf dumb and blind, or you didn't get what jagfan was saying, kudos to you on being wrong either way.

[Alfrunk]

So you think Will wheaton is cool? Yikes.

[ZanasoYBayncuh]

Oh, forgive me, I should've caught it sooner. Just another dick, going places on YouTube to spread the dickness. So, can you explain to everyone why you went to watch a video of someone you obviously dislike so you could make negative comments? Or is that above your capacity?

[DoughBoyDanny92]

hes a fag

[ash3globe]

he sounds a lot like chandler(Matthew Perry) from friends.

[majormuffin]

Wil taught everyone a lesson: Don't be a dick.

[painkilla9098]

i ordered my PAX passes today im a first timer and i am stoked flying from NY

[sausagenmuff]

WW da man

[poky999012]

i m so in love with you-wil -i believe ur a decent & nice person,i can see that lookin to u.

I M 27 Y OLD & I M SO SAD THAT U GOT MARRIED. I LOVE YOU

[tejaswoman]

Thanks for including the part at the end where you met him. Many people would quibble with that and say you put yourself ahead of the speech, but after reading so many accounts of people meeting him and of him meeting people (via WWdN), it was fun seeing it as it happened.

[queenanthai2]

I just, you know...Wil Wheaton wins my heart HARDER AND HARDER every time I hear that man quote Sinistar. :)

[KiriannasBoyARtisan]

Wil did the role for Martin Brisby in "The Secret of NIMH" when he was 9.

[zack1e]

Jack Thompson can suck my balls too! =D

[gangstadances911]

didi he say he was gay ? i didnt hear ?

[knetworkz]

He said "I'm a gamer". He's married and has kids; I think that qualifies as non-gay.

[Bojaxs]

Well he did ask Jack Thompson to suck him off.

[Gearz69]

i was there!!!! anyone gonna be at pax 08? i am! btw, jack topmson can suck my balls too! will is a fuckin prophet!!!

[MakkiMakko]

I think that Wil would tell you: Be your own prophet and believe in yourself first dude.

[myhearturhandsFFTL]

I will be gonna be sick  GOnna dominate H3 trailor

[Morias]

I'll be there too man! BYOC all the way, I moved to Texas this year, and I'm taking vacation time to fly to Seattle for PAX. I cannot wait for it this year.

[robtul12]

Who is Jack Thompson?

[newgtguy]

@robtul12

He is a lawyer who was suing game makers for corrupting children with violence and sex.

His suits were frivolous, he just did it for publicity. I think he was eventually disbarred

[AxPriest]

Ah, thought I remembered your name. Haven't seen you since my UO days, Markee! Good to see you're doing well.

Now, as to the video: Wheaton has earned his placement in the halls of awesome.

[toad1e]

Dude can spout out any number of key phrases that he wants, but that does not change the fact:

He seems to be sprouting a nice pair of titties.

[AnnaCill]

Ahahaha! That's mean but funny. Leave him alone he's an old man now haha. Kinda weird though he was so skinny his whole life. Old age does that to yeah.

[toad1e]

Damn. He's only 1 year older than I am. Guess I deserve it. ;-)

[AnnaCill]

Ohh, Ouch! But I guess you do! :D, i'm quite a few years younger. Don't feel to bad though it's not THAT old... I guess... ;)

[petenow44]

Wil Wheaton says, Don't be a dick.

[MakkiMakko]

Dude.. don't be a dick. Wil Wheaton says so.

[RagdollPhysics]

best speech opening ever!

[ilBreLynn]

"Jack Thompson can suck my balls!"

He's my hero! Haha.

[buckeye91011]

Hey my name is Wil!!!

I didn't think anyone else had that name.

[ToricoUK]

his references were funny, I'm glad he's a gamer.

[myhearturhandsFFTL]

I was there, won the gears of war tourney and had a blast with the keynote!

[gtrnbm]

You're taking it too seriously.

[beaker4251]

Wil Wheaton is my hero.

[numbir9]

Doesn't he mean "Night Trap" on the Sega CD

[sballuk]

The rest of it goes on for 55 minutes, but there's the audio on his website if these posters really want it. I just listened to the whole thing and he's great.

[AustenandCubby]

Pure awesome! I was sitting right in front of you!

[CayoteCavegirl]

I was there! Wil Wheaton is Hawt! And awesome!

[ay1ene]

I was there. It was awesome. Thanks for posting.

[julesmaas]

god, I wanted to see that in person soooo bad! Thanks for posting! Looked like an AWESOME time!

[provoko]

yea... where's the rest...

[Sagecat]

Where, uhh.. is the rest of it? 1 star

[empath69]

Blame YouTube's posting limits - I've seen exactly ONE clip longer than 10min, and that was posted directly by a car company.

The *audio* in full is linked over on PA's news blogs; Wil still rocks out for 58min when you just hear him. ^_^

[Namrepus221]

The Full keynote is gonna be available on the PAX 07 DVD.
