Roderick Strong, Claudio Castagnoli, Larry Sweeney, and/or Nigel McGuiness would all be wanted by this girl over at [info]dirtxsheet for (potential) storylines. Friendships are a given and considering the amount of ROH people already in the game, Ashley wouldn't be the only one happy to see any of them so you wouldn't be coming in just to humor my girl. Game activity definitely isn't something you need to worry about since I have yet to ever see it hit a dry spell so if you are looking for a place to be as vocal as you please, this would be the game.

Navaeh and any other SHIMMER girls not already around, would be more than welcome as well.

Chances are the pairing Lilian is in over at [info]dirtxsheet will soon be coming to an end. With that in mind, I was hoping to find something that would come in for a friendship that develops into more further down the line. She needs someone she can be herself around and not have to worry about trying to be someone else. Top choices are as followed:

Charlie Haas : Come on, who can deny the chemistry these two shared during their angle? I also play Jackie in the group and she has had nothing but good things to say about her ex. She is currently in a relationship and would love to see him happy as well.


Gregory Helms : You can blame it on this picture or even this one. Whatever the case, this has been a pairing that I've had once before and have missed ever since. If Lilian isn't enough to bring him over, we currently have Matt, Jeff, Shannon, Mercury and plenty others that would love to see him around.

on the importance of maintaining one's grip on reality

Tim Kring speaks:

In any case, "Heroes" creator Tim Kring said Monday that "there is nothing in the works for him at this point – although a bunch of us over here are big fans of his and would love nothing more than to find some part for him."

So there's 10 ways to look at this:

0) It ain't gonna happen.

1) It may happen in the mysterious future.

As I've gotten e-mails and comments about this all day, something's come up that I want to make painfully clear: It's really important to me is that this is not misunderstood as some pathetic, desperate attempt to land a role on a show that I've had two chances to audition for and totally tanked both times because I wanted it so badly. That's not how I operate, and I can't imagine that it would ever have the desired result if it was.

Instead, I hope that this whole thing will be seen the way I've seen it: as something cool that happened thanks to Twitter, and as an example of how profoundly our lives have been changed by the technological advances of just the last few years - we really are living in the future, you know.

In which wil goes "O_o" but retains his grip on reality

I thought I'd completed this week's LA Daily column on Friday, but when I opened it up yesterday afternoon to give it one final look, I realized that it didn't work at all. It's fine for a blog post (and will likely show up here sooner or later) but it just doesn't work as a column.

As you can imagine, I panicked, and spent the next five hours trying to come up with something to replace it. (Pro Tip: The hard part isn't writing the column; the hard part is figuring out what the hell to write about every week.)

Around 10 last night, I stopped banging my head against my desk and took a sanity break online. While I was looking at TotalFark, TwitterFox popped up with the following Tweet:

@wilw we need you to cameo on HEROES. how bout it? Let me know, it's Greg Grunberg from Heroes. Parkman.

Normally, I'd think this was a prank, but my friend David (who plays Eric Doyle on Heroes) mentioned to me last week that he'd joined Twitter, and that he was following me and Greg Grunberg. So I went O_o and replied:

@greggrunberg How cool and random to hear from you ... we have a mutual friend in @dhlawrencexvii! I'd love to be on your show, for serious.

I think I replied appropriately, right? Considering that the alternative was something like OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG, and all.

A few minutes later, he replied:

@wilw I'm sure Tim would LOVE to have you. I will talk to him tomorrow and see what he thinks.

I couldn't put it into 140 characters, but I'm pretty sure I know what Tim's going to think, and it's going to rhyme with "No way, that guy sucks." See, I've had two opportunities for good roles on Heroes, and both times I was so excited about the opportunity, I completely tanked the audition. It was like the audition was a cute little bunny, and I was Lenny Small. I mean, I fucked them up badly. It was embarrassing. The room I read in at Universal is still blocked off by the HazMat control team because the stink I left there is so horrible.

I'm not going to pretend that I wouldn't love it, especially if I got to play a villain, but I'm keeping my squee level really under control at the moment. I've done this long enough to know that actually working on Heroes is a real long shot for me. But if it does happen, it would be super awesome on countless levels, not the least of which is the whole thing happened because of Twitter, which pleases my inner geek greatly.

Christy is looking for a romantic storyline at [info]tapout. She would love for either AJ Styles, Chris Sabin, or Alex Shelley to come.

[info]ydnarnotro in [info]ringrats

After dusting this bad boy off, he's heading to [info]formative which is a celebrity community which I realize ain't everyone's thing. It'd be awesome to see some fellow wrestling people around there.

Edit: I forgot first go round. Probably a long shot but if anyone plays Carrie Underwood could they come join. I had a PSL with these two a few months back and loved it.

[info]jacobsjimmy in [info]ringrats

who i'm playing - my favorite short, emo muppet jimmy jacobs.

who i'm looking for - his in ring arch nemesis, austin aries.

what i want with him - i've never really done slash before, but much like tyler black, i find these two to be very slashy and would love to try something out with an austin/jimmy line. it's nothing i want for a community, but more so something to try out and perhaps kill some time and if it's good enough, maybe it'll be a long term psl. it would more than likely be scenes through pm or journal, whichever is more convenient for you because i'm rarely on aim.

if you're interested, drop a reply or shoot me a pm.

[info]stargirlria in [info]ringrats

Looking for a line.

My Maria here is currently homed at [info]dirtxsheet. She's single and looking for some loving! The place is packed so options are limited but here are some of my ideas:

Charlie Haas: We have a Jackie who is in a relationship already but I think they'd mesh well together.
Santino Marella: He's hilarious on screen and their off screen chemistry would be fun.
Ricky Ortiz: The hair... come on!
Eric Young: He's too adorable for words!


Any other options would be awesome. You should check out [info]dirtxsheet anyway! Tons of people, always someone to talk to, very active. You'll never be bored. Reply here with any questions or IM me: Stargirlria

[info]anlane in [info]ringrats

I'm going to try and make this as simple as possible so I don't take up too much of anyone's time.

The girl in the icon is Ashley Lane. Professional wrestler, one half of the SHIMMER Tag Champs, etc.

What I am looking for is a man to come into [info]dirtxsheet for a romantic storyline with her.

I have no real ideas in mind, only that I would like for it to be someone I have at least heard of. Now that isn't saying much since I know alot about wrestling however I don't know every indy fed on the planet and if you bring in some guy who just started wrestling in the middle of nowhere Illinois or something, it's going to be hard for me to connect my girl with them.

I would really like to try her out with someone like Claudio Castagnoli or really anyone from Ring Of Honor since that seems to be my current federation of choice but I wouldn't be opposed to someone from one of the bigger two companies.

Comments are screened so if you have a suggestion, please let me know :) It would obviously start out as a friendship and potentially blossom into something romantic later on.

RULES « TAKEN/WANTED/HELD « APPLICATION


FxS is now opening on IJ and there are plenty of popular roles up for still open.

WANTED

Just about anyone who isn’t taken but names that stick out are;
Jeff Hardy » Maria Kanellis » Adam Copeland » OBD » Nikki Roxx » Trish Stratus » John Cena » Chris Jericho

[info]ohmaryse in [info]ringrats

I think I'm ready to dust this journal off and use it again so I'm sure this is a stretch but anyone need/looking for a Maryse? SL potential makes the deal even sweeter. I've always really wanted to try a line with a John Cena so that would be a double plus but she's flexible to anything. Comments are screened of course or you can shoot a PM

Looking for someone to play Hunter opposite the girl in the icon. Any takers?

desert bus for hope 2008 begins

Hey Kids, it's your old pal Wil Wheaton here, and this is a post about a whale.

WAIT! NO IT ISN'T! IT'S A POST ABOUT AWESOME PEOPLE WHO DO AWESOME THINGS THAT MAKE WITH THE HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!

Ahem. Allow me to introduce a few things:

There's this fantastic charity that my friends from Penny Arcade created, called Child's Play:

Since 2003, over 100,000 gamers worldwide have banded together through Child’s Play, a community based charity grown and nurtured from the game culture and industry. Over 3.5 million dollars in donations of toys, games, books and cash for sick kids in children’s hospitals across North America and the world have been collected since our inception.

This year, we have continued expanding across the country and the globe. With around 60 partner hospitals and more arriving every month, you can be sure to find one from the map above that needs your help! You can choose to purchase requested items from their online retailer wish lists, or make a cash donation that helps out Child’s Play hospitals everywhere. Any items purchased through Amazon will be shipped directly to your hospital of choice, so please be sure to select their shipping address rather than your own.

When gamers give back, it makes a difference!

There's are these guys up in Canadia called LoadingReadyRun. They're really funny, and I did a sketch with them last year at the Child's Play dinner in Seattle:
Inspired in name and appearance by the Commdore 64 Home Computer System, LRR is a site run by-and for-geeks. You have to be at least a bit of a geek to think writing, shooting and producing a new, original short sketch every week is feasible. But you have to be a giant geek to actually do it. Since LoadingReadyRun's start in 2003, it has consistently updated with a new video, every week. Often more!
LRR videos have been featured in film festivals such as the Comic Con International Film Festival in San Diego, and shown on major TV networks, including G4 TechTV, The CW and even CNN.

There's this horrible old game called Desert Bus, that's really more of a cruel practical joke than an actual game:

The objective of the game is to drive a bus from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada in real time at a maximum speed of 45mph, a feat that would take the player 8 hours of continuous play to complete, as the game cannot be paused.

The bus contains no passengers, and there is no scenery or other cars on the road. The bus veers to the right slightly; as a result, it is impossible to tape down a button to go do something else and have the game end properly. If the bus veers off the road it will stall and be towed back to Tucson, also in real time. If the player makes it to Las Vegas, they will score exactly one point. The player then gets the option to make the return trip to Tucson—for another point (a decision they must make in a few seconds or the game ends).

So, if you put all this together, you will get the guys from LoadingReadyRun playing a marathon of Desert Bus to raise money for Child's Play charity! It's hilarious to watch them play it, especially as the hours go by, and this year it's going to be even more entertaining as they will be joined by the cast of ‘The Guild’, Sean from Harmonix, the Joystiq Podcast’s Justin McElroy, John Davison of What They Play and 1Up Yours, Microsoft’s Major Nelson, Jeremy Baker of http://www.thezone.fm, and Sam Logan of Sam and Fuzzy.

They will also be joined by yours truly, sometime on Sunday afternoon (Pacific time). If you've got nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon (or evening, or whatever time it is where you live) and you want to hear me and some hilarious Canadian sketch comedy geeks - who will most likely be in Batcountry by the time I get there - engage in the high quality grabassery and shenanigans you've come to expect from us, watch my Twitter Tweet-o-thingy for the announcement.

Throughout the entire marathon, you can watch them play, via the driver or bus cam (links on the top of their webpage). There's also a live chat where we can go encourage them and tell them how awesome they are. Of course, this entire thing is for charity, so if you can part with a couple of bucks, we could all join forces to make a real difference in the life of a child.

There are plenty of times before where the urge to play a certain character has come and eventually gone. This time, the voice will not leave me at all. With that in mind, I'm looking to do a PSL between Nora Greenwald (Molly Holly) and AJ Styles. I would be playing Nora.

Any takers?

Ok. So here’s the deal. I’ve got this girl over at VxG on LJ and she’s been well for all intensive purposes alone, in a romantic sense. I’ve debated doing this for awhile now but um who’d be interested in playing opposite of her. I’ve played her for awhile now and I promise she’s not a bobble head, of course she isn’t without her moments, because hey who isn’t.

As for me as a writer, I prefer threading because me in my line of work can be relaxing one second and being utterly bored and then the next minute I’ve got about six million things falling in my lap. I do have a full time and other things, with a thread I can work on a detailed response and give you the time you rightly deserve.

Examples can be shown, I can show you how I play her, whatever you what. All this can be worked out as time goes on.

Who does this lovely Barbie doll have her eye on you ask? Well the two biggest names on the list belong to Kofi Kingston and Shad. But the other person who she’s got her eye on now is Triple H. Yes I totally blame that commercial. Now does it have to be one of those three? No of course not, anyone who isn’t taken can be up for discussion, the point is I’d honestly like a romantic line for her.

I do know livejournal can be freaky but don’t let that influence your decision; as least in a negative sense. Also if a storyline with this girl doesn’t tickle you, just think about joining the community in general. I love the place it’s awesome.

before i go through the trouble of setting her all up, is there a home for melissa anderson/cheerleader melissa/raisha saeed? i would like to take her somewhere where she isn't going to be ignored just because she isn't some mainstream, well known wrestler. also, storylines would be a major plus!
