Now Playing Tracks

seenontabletop: Thank you Wil Wheaton/Tabletop/Geek and Sundry for inspiring my wife and I to start our first family tradition! My wife and I got married a little over a year and a half ago after 8 years of being together. Our aspirations in life have always been family-oriented. That’s why, after getting hooked on TableTop, we decided that we would start having game night once a week! After every night, the victor gets a “tabletop trophy” and their picture on the fridge for a week. As our family grows, so will the competition… And the game night photo albums, haha! The thought of seeing our future children start to gradually appear as game night champions in those albums is heartwarming and motivating. We feel like we’ve received a gift from you guys, and for that we’re incredibly grateful! Tonight we played Ticket to Ride. Meredith, my wife, pulled some incredible routes, completed them all, and ended up with an insanely long route. In other words, she destroyed me. Here is her TableTop Champ photo from our inaugural game night! Thanks again!!!! Sincerely, Marc and Meredith Love this idea!!

mattfractionblog: thumbcramps: hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women. also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.  anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!! Fantastic. If I couldn’t love Wil Wheaton anymore he posts this comic!

  • Student 1:

    I know how you can pass that test, I found the secret.

  • Student 2:

    Shhhh. I'm reading Spark notes.

  • Student 1:

    I found that every time I read Sparknotes I failed the test so I decided to stop reading Sparknotes and read the book and now I pass everything! Can you believe it?

  • Student 2:

    A lot of good that does me when it is next period.

  • Student 1:

    Well, it works... but whatever.
