[QUOTE="Asberdies Lives"]
I'm also an admirer of Wil Wheaton and his job on Star Trek. I never had a problem with Wesley Crusher. Maybe to hard-core geeks, the character hit a little too close to home.

So I was pretty receptive to the idea of an article by him, and I enjoyed the first few.[/QUOTE]uh....Wesley Crusher didn't write it... but yea...

I agree with the fact that 'The Accident' started out a lot better than it ended up being. --and being "The Accident" it is... I can't help but stare... I'm not glad I do, but it'z just a macabre thing I guess.

I think the one he TRUELY lost me was in the casino story. To reiterate the point that Samantha stated, he likes to brag. That'z when it became evident to me. Keep in mind this is BEFORE Samantha posted. Don't blame her. Flame me, if you must... I'm good with ignoring people or just blatently being childish and stubborn... as long as I don't get the blame for anyone else's ills... :P

If anyone can scroll up too. Most of our ills to begin with were about him IMPROVING. Satisfying us. --but instead, he clung onto the fanboys. Just cuz some people clung onto the celeb bit, doesn't mean anything to most of us.

I love fluff. That'z not an issue either. I just don't want to be smacked in the face with someone who'z not even interested in his readers; and just comes across as proud. Personally, I'm set in my belief that no one is better than me--even if I'm livin on the street scribblin' dungeon maps on underpasses... I'd like to hear someone who can tell his story WITHOUT pointing out how kewl he is. I've never seen someone refer to themselves in 3rd person as much in a 1st person narrative as Wil does in his column (except maybe the Rock back in his wrestling days).

HE, himself, even seems obsessed with only his Star Trek career... Star Trek didn't have magic. Star Trek wasn't based on the same type of setting. It'z sci-fi. If he wants to talk about his Alternity days, FINE! HELL! He can talk about the Star Trek Roleplaying game.... but he doesn't...

I pretty much think about it like an actor who crossed his line. Not all actors are directors... Not all actors or directors are writers (screenplay or otherwise). --and before i get flamed for that... It makes sense... Just cuz you can fly an airplane, doesn't mean u can build one--and vise versa ('cept for the Wright bros.). Wil is obviously tryin' his hand at a new form of expression. I'm not saying he CAN'T do it; I'm just sayin' he's not ready.

Erik Mona and the great Matt Sernett, ect... They've been doing this for forever. They are greats in their field. (btw, I heart Erik Mona LOL) Maybe I'm just used to that level of ability; but, seeing as how we are used to such wonderful works, can we really be expected to settle for less? I know I don't want to. The contributers to Dungeon, the staff of Dungeon,....everyone outshines this one article.

I'm spoiled by Dungeon (and Dragon for that matter). --but is this one article going to ruin it for me? LOL no... If anything, I'll continue to stare at "The Accident", wondering how it happened--even though I watched it all pass. Dungeon will grow and grow past it all; and, (as it has proven itself to me so far...) Wil Save will just fail...
