The Dr. Horrible actress sits down with Wired.com to talk about Hollywood, her webseries The Guild, and other assorted things.  I hope I’m not alone is saying that I could listen to her talk all day long about her geektasticness. 

Wired.com: What are your fans communicating to you when they meet face to face?

Day: I hear a lot from women, “I love The Guild and I love that you have a geeky girl and that you’re representing that because that’s how I feel.” And: “I’m a girl gamer and I’ve never seen girl gamers that are authentic before.” I remember one guy at BlizzCon told me, “Thank you very much because now I tell my co-workers that I game without shame.” He really genuinely said that and I was so touched, because when I created the show I was just writing organically about my experience. I think that most people, if they were in Hollywood, they would never write something about a niche that wouldn’t please everybody. But the thing about the web is that you can make niche content and you can give a voice to people who wouldn’t feel like they have everything in common with what the mainstream is giving them.

I’ve largely held off from writing about Jimmy Fallon and his new online episodes leading to his late night talk show, mostly because I’ve never particularly found him to be that funny.  Which is different than thinking he could make a decent late night talkshow host.  In that case I think he has the requisite charm to succeed (in a manner of degrees, let’s be honest he’ll never be Conan, but he could be a pinch better than say Leno and certainly better than Carson Daly) on some level.

Anyone, on this recent clip, actress Felicia Day, whom you’ll remember from season 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or more recently in Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog and even more recently in The Guild (a huge Dungeons and Dragons player btw) stops by to show Jimmy how to set up a World of Warcraft profile.  Is it me or does that fact that she’s into online gaming make her more dorky (dorky = cool)?

I can handle Jimmy Fallon in short bursts of five minutes, but anything over that and I’m out.
