Wil Wheaton's New Show: Tabletop

Posted by Soulskill on from the no-interns-were-harmed-(yet)-in-the-making-of-this-show dept.

xwwt writes "Wil Wheaton is working with Felicia Day on a new show called Tabletop, which will air on the YouTube Channel Geek and Sundry. The show will be about board games and gaming in general. This is how he describes it: 'My ulterior motive with Tabletop is to show by example how much fun it is to play boardgames. I want to show that Gamers aren't all a bunch of weirdoes who can't make eye contact when they talk to you, and that getting together for a game night is just as social and awesome as getting together to watch Sportsball, or to play poker, or for a LAN party, or whatever non-gamers do with their friends. I want to inspire people to try hobby games, and I want to remove the stigma associated with gaming and gamers.' The first show airs April 2nd."

    If you're hosting it, Wil, that's already one goal shot straight to hell.

      Huh? Overrated by WHO? Ohhh, I think you mean that YOU hate them for some reason, so ANY attention, however minor, is OVERRATED. These are pretty obscure people here pal. Fucking relax.

      LOL, the most overrated people in HISTORY!!!!

      Well, now we know for sure that Wil Wheaton reads Slashdot.

      He wouldn't post anonymously. He'd have some clever nickname to post under.

    What? He's doing gay pr0n for the love of it?

    life is an RPG, albeit a rather shitty one.

    Sure, gameplay is a little awkward - i mean really, bathroom breaks? 8 hours of just sitting there sleeping? grinding professions for 50 years if you want to reach max level?

    But you have to admit, the graphics engine is amazing - the scenery is so lifelike!

    No respawn either, unless you are the Dev's kid.
