Ask Wil Wheaton Anything (Part Deux)

A little over three years ago Slashdot interviewed Wil Wheaton, at the time best known for his role as Wesley Crusher on ST:TNG. Since then his blog WWDN has allowed him a creative outlet that has made the world sit up and take notice. Wil is now a regular participant in ACME Comedy Theatre, has published two books ( Dancing Barefoot and Just a Geek ), has done voicework for video games such as GTA: San Andreas, cartoons such as Teen Titans, and speaks regularly at conventions such as Gnomedex and Linucon. Wil enjoyed the first Slash interview so much it appeared in Just a Geek, and we're glad to have him back for a second go-round. Feel free to fire away, one question per comment please. We'll post his responses once we get them back.

Dude, where's my car?

More importantly, what would you ask Ceren?

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Please show your support for Ceren in this poll of Geek Babes!

Is it any wonder people think Linux users are a bunch of flaming homosexuals when its fronted by obviously gay losers like these?! BSD has a mascot who leaves us in no doubt that this is the OS for real men! If Linux had more hot chicks and gorgeous babes then maybe it would be able to compete with BSD! Hell this girl should be a model!

Linux is a joke as long as it continues to lack sexy girls like her! I mean just look at this girl! Doesn't she excite you? I know this little hottie puts me in need of a cold shower! This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. As you can see, no man can resist this sexy little minx. Don't you wish the guy in this pic was you? Are you telling me you wouldn't like to get your hands on this ass?! Wouldn't this just make your Christmas?! Yes doctor, this uber babe definitely gets my pulse racing! Oh how I envy the lucky girl in this shot! Linux has nothing that can possibly compete. Come on, you must admit she is better than an overweight penguin or a gay looking goat! Wouldn't this be more liklely to influence your choice of OS?

With sexy chicks like the lovely Ceren you could have people queuing up to buy open source products. Could you really refuse to buy a copy of BSD if she told you to? Personally I know I would give my right arm to get this close to such a divine beauty!

Don't be a fag! Join the campaign for more cute open source babes today!

Crusade for Freedom in Tibet

[Anonymous Coward]

Here is my question: "As an active participant in the performing arts, you acutely understand the value of free speech and expression. Would you be willing to lead a campaign or would you be willing to lend your name (to Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch) to support freedom for the Tibetans?"

Each year, the Chinese brutally rape and kill Tibetan women and children. Most Chinese simply do not care about their suffering. Look at Taiwan. The Chinese in Taiwan have the audacity and bigotry to insist that Tibet should be integrated into "One China".

Alive?

[Anonymous Coward]

First off, I thought you died of an overdose, are you still alive?

Secondly, what happened to that real 3d product you used to market? It was supposed to improve my gaming experience?

Are you... by chance... this guy?

Awesome.

Re:Dealing with Internet hatred

[Jay Maynard]

Yup, that is indeed me.

Re:A true geek?

[Anonymous Coward]

Some of us have already forgotten the e-mail addresses and passwords we used to sign up for our really old Slashdot uid's :-) (it's actually true - I recently finally managed to recover a five digit uid that I suddenly remembered I had - I think I had a lower five digit one as well, but probably with an e-mail address that doesn't exist anymore).

Oh, yeah, I'm posting anonymously now because I usually post from a different machine and don't remember my password anymore (it's saved by the browser on the other machine...)

I know this don't belong here, but it needs to be said. Dude, you're cool! If not for making the Tron suit, at least for standing up for yourself. I salute you! (oh.. and you met wil wheaton?)

Re:Dealing with Internet hatred

[Finuvir]

Welcome to my friends list. That costume rules. As for your first question (which I'm going to answer from the position of no experience and not having been asked) you should probably forget about anonymous Slashbots and Farkers. They insult 101 people before breakfast. All I see is Wil Wheaton, resident really cool guy, being pleased to be seen with you; isn't that what matters here? I guess you just have to consider whose opinion you value most.

Why are people here worshipping this bad actor?

[rbanzai]

Wesley Crusher was a bad character played by a weak actor. Why the hell does everyone here worship this guy? Because he owns a computer?

Jesus, people. Enough.
