PAX 2008 Interview: Felicia Day (The Guild)

by Ross Miller { Sep 3rd 2008 at 12:30PM }

Felicia Day at the Jonathan Coulton concert

During PAX 2008 we had a chance to sit down (on very comfortable bean bags, mind you) and talk with Felicia Day, producer and star of The Guild and star of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Day also sang "Still Alive" with Jonathan Coulton the first night of the convention. Some notes from the interview:

Filming for Season 2 will begin next month. HD cameras will be used, not so much for web streaming but for potential download and the Season 2 DVD. The 13- to 15-episode season will be "a little bit longer," approximately 5 to 6 minutes apiece.
Day has a level 66 Warlock and level 63 Priest. As an example of life imitating art, Day explains that her fans from the show and the actors who play Zaboo, Vork and Bladezz all play in a guild together.
She signed the chest of one Dr. Horrible cosplayer and saw another with "actual Wonderflonium." (Warning: Interview contains spoilers.)
Day guest stars as the patient in episode 2 of the upcoming season of House, but she does not have Lupus.
Not mentioned: Her demand that Tycho groom her.

(Note: When the interview starts, Day is talking about a planned live introduction for a showing of The Guild at Dragon*Con the day before.)

This is gaming news...

This is a constructive comment?

She's the host of a web show which focuses on gaming and gamers. Yes, it is gaming news. Go take out the trash, or clean your room or something.

Whatever you want to call it, I think it's skirting the edge of *relevant* gaming news.

See that little blue link near the top of the page, titled "About Joystiq"? Click. Read. Learn.

Here, I'll help you.

"We offer a unique focus on gamer culture catering to an intelligent gamer fan readership both hardcore and casual."

Oh, and this, too.

"...as well as up-to-the-second original and live event coverage at industry staples such as GDC and E3."

So, while this article may not be of interest to YOU, it does fit the criteria of Joystiq's coverage.

Next time that ole "This isn't t3h newz!" feeling creeps into those fingers...back away from the keyboard, skip the post, and don't bother to comment. That way, everyone wins!

Be well. =D

I was in the front row of that concert. Jonathan Coulton and Felicia Day singing Still Alive is sheer geek bliss. My highlight from PAX, and that's saying something.

I'm just a huge Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog fan.

WhoMe @ Sep 3rd 2008 8:30AM

I don't even know who this person is. I guess I'm not big enough of a nerd.

Geist @ Sep 3rd 2008 5:43PM

She's not terribly famous except for a couple things, notably something called "The Guild" (which I think is bad) and "Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog" (which I think is awesome).

Check out www.drhorrible.com for it.

It's just your fetish. Some people like redheads. Some people like Asians. Some people like feet, and some people like midgets wearing bow ties and rainbow tube socks.

Geist @ Sep 3rd 2008 5:42PM

And everybody likes sexy redheaded nerds. Otherwise you are crazy, crazy I say.

Obie @ Sep 3rd 2008 12:53PM

Nope, redheads are awesome. ;)

I think she was a lesbian on the Drew Carey show once. And if she wasn't I know 100% she was the victim of adultery in a cell phone commercial

Retoc @ Sep 3rd 2008 6:13PM

I have no idea of who she is, a few times in WOW someone might have mentioned The Guild lol but still no idea who she is.

But..I want to groom her too if you know what I mean.

Cesaria (Enjoys all systems, despite my reputation) @ Sep 3rd 2008 8:25PM

I'm so in love with this chick after seeing her in Buffy and Dr. Horrible. I have a thing for the redhead, nerdy type, as described above.

Cesaria (Enjoys all systems, despite my reputation) @ Sep 3rd 2008 8:27PM

And if you happen to fit the description, please let me know. Haha. That's my sexy ass in the avatar. :P

AJ @ Sep 3rd 2008 8:38PM

She is adorable!

You may also know her as the redheaded office worker in a few USPS commercials (Or maybe it was Fed Ex) who get's stuck with everyone's packages when they find out she's going to the post office.
