Felicia Day, creator of The Guild, interviewed by Gus Mastrapa:
Felicia Day’s stardom wasn’t handed down to her from on high by Hollywood. She’s guest-starred on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and House, but most of her legions of fans still know her because of a show she wrote and produced herself that doesn’t air on any network.
Now in its third season, The Guild — Day’s microbudget comedic web series about a group of online gamers — enjoys financing from Microsoft as well as cushy placement on the Xbox 360 dashboard. But fans are still discovering Day and her nerdy ways online.
After landing a plum role in Joss Whedon’s Emmy-winning web series Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog last year, Day’s got a bona fide viral hit on her hands this year, thanks to a funny promo video for Season 3 of The Guild.
If you’ve ever done online gaming, especially MMORPG gaming, you’ll probably enjoy watching The Guild. If you haven’t done any online gaming, you may not find the humour to be to your taste.
Or you have no taste.
Your call.
