Felicia Day: A rising star for the Internet geek ("The Guild" web series/WoW)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/felicia-day-a-rising-star-for-the-internet-geek/2012/04/03/gIQAHpnEtS_story.html
This is a story about Felicia Day. Right now, 30 percent-ish of you are squealing with besotted fan-girldom and fan-boydom. The other 70 percent of you do not know what a Felicia Day is. “That’s probably more like 90 percent,” she says. “Whenever I go to a meeting at a studio lot, it’s always the IT guy or the assistant or the accountant who knows me. And then the executives look at me, like, ‘I don’t know why I’m meeting with you.’ ” *much more at link*

1. "The Guild" is great.
|
She was great on Buffy the Vampire Slayer too. I can't really imagine that anything like 70% of people don't know about her. Everybody knows about her.

Here's the new video, just released this week.
Now I'm the one that's cool lyrics 1ST VERSE: Oh, no. Don't pretend I didn't see You roll your eyes at my gaming tee Don't know if you can read or if you've seen The sweet piece in this week's Wired magazine The latest trend has hit its peak They say that geek's becomin' chic So now you're out of style as you can be And I'm in vogue, so you can bite me To all the ass-hat jocks who beat me up in school Now I'm the one that's cool I'm the one that's cool To all the prom queen bitches thinking they still rule Now I'm the one that's cool I'm the one that's cool 2ND VERSE: Try to cop my style but I'm the real thing While you played sports, I played Magic the Gathering Never earned a part of nerd society My Aquaman pajamas prove my pedigree Watched my Next Gen every night Wore a headgear to fix my overbite Your black-rimmed glasses are prescription free, where as me I literally can't see my hand in front of my face To all the asshat jocks who beat me up in school Now I'm the one that's cool I'm the one that's cool To all the prom queen bitches thinking they still rule Now I'm the one that's cool I'm the one that's cool And to my eighth-grade crush who pushed me in the pool Now I'm the one that's cool I'm the one that's cool You may be tan and fit and rich but you're a tool And I'm the one that's cool I'm the one that's cool 3RD VERSE: Role reversal must be a total drag But there's no point, no point for me to humblebrag I appreciate you for being cruel I'm burning bright thanks to your rejection fuel Got my in-jokes you won't get Like Honey Badger, Troll Face and Nyan Cat So now your ballin' parties seem so dumb You can Evite me, and I'll say yes, but I won't really come Got my comics Got my games All the things you thought were lame Got my cosplay Fanfic too Got you pegged STF-You CHORUS |

3. Loved her in "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog"

And speaking of "The Guild", I met Amy Okuda and Robin Thorsen at the Planet Comiccon in KC a couple weeks ago.

4. I remember her from Fallout: New Vegas.
|
She played Veronica, the Brotherhood of Steel lady companion that you could add to your team.
She had a personal quest that was the most difficult and interesting one in the game. Which paled in comparison to that of her long-lost girlfriend... |
