Finally, there is a "Celebrity Poker" type show for nerds!
TableTop is a half-hour YouTube show starring everyone's favorite USS Enterprise-D ensign, Wil Wheaton. He's taking a much deserved break from reversing the polarities of things to play boardgames.
During the show, they play a full boardgame, and have cut-aways that explain what's going on to make it more accessable to non-gamers, and mid-game interviews from the players.
The first episode features guest players Jenna Busch, Grant Imahara (of MythBusters), and Sean Plott who play the game "Small World". There's plenty of trash talking and joking around, and Wil enjoys making humerous comments in the voices of the races being defeated.
The show is really fun to watch, and hopefully will help to bring modern boardgames into the mainstream.
TableTop is part of the "Geek and Sundry" channel on YouTube started by Felicia Day of The Guild. You can check it out here:
