Ode to Wheaton

As I sit here watching the new holiday episode of Leverage I thought it would be the perfect time to write this simple post (SPOILER ALERT: I can tell i’ll probably do some Chaos play-by-play). Not only do we love wil wheaton’s cameos here at WarsVsTrek, we really owe him some credit for the existance of this site. Wil commonly writes about both the necessity and struggle we face with being creative, something I take to heart right now as it’s taken me months just to come here and write anything at all. We all know that finding the time in our busy lives to write or create, even just for a 60 minute time slot (~45 mins on DVR…. Chaos pulled some EMP action!), can be seemingly impossible sometimes.

The idea to bring the debate of WarsVsTrek to the web came about when we were discussing the Enterprise Vs Star Destroyer battle; I was winning the argument even though I was outnumbered. I had earlier that day read a post by @wilw talking about the greatness of sharing on the web and how awesome and easy it was to contribute to the world through social media, in this case by making tshirts. It was this mentality that brought us to making this site with the philosophy that it would be an ongoing hobby to simply have fun with. Maybe if we were lucky some others could have fun with us (and it seems like some have). He inspired in us here that it doesn’t really even matter if anyone likes what you did or really even if anyone reads it at all (The ten of you that’re still reading this rock, btw ;) ), what’s important and rewarding is just that you put it out there. So here’s to Wil! Keep on keeping on the way you are. I’m sure most of our readers out there know about and read his blog, but if you don’t I highly recommend checking it out here http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/ or check out his lesser known tumblr http://wilwheaton.tumblr.com/ .

Maybe its the holiday spirit as I rarely do this, but yes, points for Star Trek by association. I plan to write more often now (and not while watching tv as it’s kinda distracting) so these points are really insignificant in the long run.

I can’t really say anything more about this episode of Leverage, but even though Wil has some cheesy (and by cheesy I mean great) one liners (worthy of Caruso really) this picture below really says the rest.
