    Wil Wheaton reading the audiobook version of Cory Doctorow’s Homeland in which Wil Wheaton appears as a character was a nice touch, I thought.

      That made me look up the audiobook of Ready Player One to find out if Matthew Broderick read it since the main character roleplays as his character in Wargames. But no, Matthew Broderick did not read it. It was read by… Wil Wheaton!

    I really loved Wil Wheaton in Eureka, which is why I have to constantly remind myself when I see him in interviews and things that he’s not actually a colossal asshole (as far as I can tell).

      Last one I tried was Starter Villain, I managed to get to the end of that because the story was so silly

      But there’ve been others that I had to switch off simply because Wheaton narrates like you asked an AI to make the voice of the average Redditor

    I don’t understand why and how he’s relevant. Even if we’re purely talking star Trek he’s fucking annoying
