    I only have a passing knowledge of who Felicia Day is (directed mostly by Tycho's newsposts and that one comic), and I've only seen a few episodes of The Guild, but I thought that video was great.

    She's equal measures of cute and pretty, I've no doubt she also has a good helping of clever in there, and she's dressed up in cosplay, singing and making inside jokes about MMORPGs.

    I'm sorry, but that's awesome.

    It's actually pretty good. You should give it a shot.

    Yeah, the "Sing-a-Long" bit put me off it for a while until I was bored and watched the whole thing on Hulu. Then I was like, "Shit, why didn't I watch this when it was happening?"

    A useful heuristic that's nevertheless failed you in this case. It's a 45-minute musical about superheroes and villains, and manages to not be incredibly wanky but in fact pretty excellent. Directed/written by Joss Whedon and his clan, stars Neil Patrick Harris, Mal out of Firefly and the aforementioned Felicia day, and has some truly wonderful and memorable songs in it. Above many things, I'd recommend you give it a go.

    I find her to be super cute and I'd love to take her home and sing her songs of heroism and sadness, but really.... she's going down the same path as J. Hodgman - WAY overexposed, shelf life rapidly nearing expiration.

    also this video is ok I guess

    ITT: horrible opinions by people who take themselves way to seriously.




    edit: bye the way, the song actually is actually a pretty good/crafty commercial (albeit standard) clubbing tune. I automatically bob my head to it, and I can definitely hear this being played on friday night student nights.

    The song itself is too bad. Just overshadows the somewhat clever lyrics. No sir, I don't like it.

    You know, I really enjoyed Dr. Horrible, and I’m sure she’s been good in other stuff she’s done. But I don’t see any problem with this. Like at all.

    If people weren’t pointing out that she was in Dr. Horrible, I wouldn’t even know who she was.

    Anyone who is looking to this song and expecting it to be good isn't really getting the point. This isn't meant to be measured up against actual "music".

    It's supposed to be jokey/funny. Not taken seriously. She's not trying to launch a song and dance career with this.

    I've heard many many joke songs that were actually pleasant to listen to.

    Hell, look at Yankovic's entire career for examples.

    This video is not pleasant in any way.

    I loved the video, it's hilarious. And it's worth mentioning that the entire cast is funny here, not just Felicia Day. It's obviously an ensemble effort, as always. The song gets stuck in your head like crazy glue, too.

    She's a pretty cool person. Tycho groomed her in a comic, remember?

    She does The Guild (Which is why this video exists), was Penny in Dr. Horrible, and a potential slayer in season 7 of Buffy. Also is in episode 13 of Dollhouse.

    And she plays D&D. :)

    Speaking of cool music videos and video games, here's something that went up recently on a lego blog I watch. Ignore the strange bearded man at the begining.

    And yes, this is completely done from stop motion
