24 Hour Anime Cable Channel from Microsoft...

Well, now that you'd ruined that joke...

Take a look at previous jokes: animenewsnetwork.com/archive.php?topic_id=105

Maybe next year we shouldn't even bother with jokes, or maybe separate them into a safe little corner of ANN. :p

I spent about an hour scouring MS and MSNBC for press releases so I could properly mimic their PR style. I also spent more than an hour doing the graphic editing required of the screenshot.

What gets me are the people who say stuff like, "I hate you for writing [insert joke title here] joke. I hope you die. I'm never visiting your site again."

Oh, this is such amazingly good news, and it's been so hard to keep this to myself, but there have been contract talks, and all sorts of negotiations, and all that...but I can finally make the big big announcement: The official announcement will be made on Thursday, but I've been given permission by Paramount's hired goons to make the announcement today. In four weeks, I will be joining the cast of Enterprise in a recurring role! The details are still being worked out, but basically what they plan to do is have Wesley use his Time Traveler abilities to move through space and time to the NX-01. He'll be written more like the dark, troubled Wesley of "The First Duty" and "Final Mission", and less like the gee-whiz Wesley of days gone by. Here's a little history: Nemesis is testing very well, and Paramount is extremely excited that this lame little website has generated such a huge following. I guess some people started a letter-writing campaign, without my knowledge, and Paramount listened. I spent most of last week on conference calls with Rick and Brannon, as well as some of the brass at Paramount, working out the details, making sure that Wesley will not be saving the NX-01 all the time. * grin * I'll be in 8 of 22 episodes for the two seasons, with an option to renegotiate at the end of the second season. I'm only recurring to allow me the freedom to participate in other shows, as well as continue working for G4. I'm so freakin' excited, I don't even know what else to say. I can't believe that I'm going to be working on Star Trek again, and I can't believe that I'm going to be working on Stages 8 and 9 again. I have to go to a fitting right now. I'll write more when I have more details. I hope everyone has a great day!! Posted by wil at 8:57 AM

Check this out! According to [url=http://www.wilwheaton.net/ ]Wil Wheaton[/url], he's in discussions with Paramount to appear as a cast member on Enterprise. Wesley Crusher will use his time travel abilities to become a recurring character. Sounds more than a little suspicious to me.

Well, most of you have figured it out, by now, but the truth is...

...I'm not gonna be on Enterprise. Even as a computer voice, or within the secret, dirty, late-night thoughts of Capt. Archer.

I hope everyone takes this in good humor. Lots of people sent really kind and sweet congratulatory messages, and I actually feel pretty badly for fooling such nice people. All the idiots who thought it was a really good idea to fill my inbox with "Wesley is gonna ruin Enterprise" crap should get a life, and direct any further comments to the nearest brick wall.
