Wil Wheaton and William Shatner Talk 'Addictive' Video Games, Magic The Gathering

'Star Trek' alum Wil Wheaton joins his former co-star William Shatner in this 'Brown Bag Wine Tasting' extra to talk about his passion for video games. Wheaton reminisces about his youth spent playing Sega Genesis and Dungeons and Dragons with friends, and discusses the ability to create meaningful relationships in virtual worlds in popular games like World of Warcraft. Wheaton also goes into detail about the search for life in the rest of the universe -- on Mars and beyond.

Having just listened to Wil talking about meeting Shatner, the fact they are apparently good friends now is....quite nice, actually.

This is SO different to watch once you see the video with Wil talking about Shatner being an ass to him when he met him during STTNG.

1:55, the look on Shatner's face is like he's lost, PRICELESS! :D

[xanawolf]

Shatner is being nice and civil to Wil. What a refreshing change from their first meeting when The Shat was a total jerk to Wil, who was a HUGE fan.

[Funkybassuk]

Nice to see them hanging out after all these years.

Shatner to himself before the video: "Just smile and nod"

[dmustakasjr]

Wow... your relationship came along way since "I'd never let a kid pilot my starship"

[sampleexamplemusic]

2:00 LOL Shatner's look after Will mentions Sega genesis, like "WTF is that?"

[BenJamminKraftbc]

Will is 47 years old.
Just let that sink in for a second...

Shatner is a very focused person who has what I call 'a small plate'. He only can deal with a few things at once and anything outside of that is a distraction and an annoyance. It's not personal, its just all he can deal with at any one time. Some people have bigger plates and are more relaxed. In fact most artists have large plates and are unfocused, he is a very blue collar actor. That's why Bill was 'mean' to Will. He was working on a movie and all his attention was on that, he didn't have room on his plate for Will then. Its the same as the rest of the cast on TOS, he was the lead on a very chaotic show. Every episode was a struggle to get done good and fast and on budget and he didn't have room on his plate for people like Walter or George, he had a show to do and a family to take care of. Whereas Leonard had a much bigger plate and looked after his cast mates. Everyone has a different plate.

Does Bill know that Wil refers to him as "William fu@#%#$ Shatner" lol.

[jasonjuneau]

What wil was describing about the serotonin sounds a lot like the TNG episode the game

[russellroth]

It's quite outstanding to see Shatner just sitting there listening instead of looking to be the center of attention.

[GoldenOwlEvents]

Literally everything Will Wheaton says is total news to William Shatner. Meanwhile... I'm sort of falling in love with Will Wheaton all over again here...

[bigmikeyp]

Is there a full, unedited version of this anywhere? Two greats discussing great topics!

[ronbrown]

Shatner has no idea wtf Wheaton is talking about.

[kangkinkang]

To seek out new games & new challenges, to boldy go where no Shatner has gone before.

[fockewolf]

[OneDayAtaTime-jp]
