In 2011, Day had great success with the fifth season of The Guild and the debut of her Bioware/ Machinima series Dragon Age: Redemption, but it looks like she has even bigger plans for 2012. On Friday, Day #FF-ed her new company Geek and Sundry. Day tweeted to her followers that the new project will be “bringing you awesome web video awesomeness very soon!” Now, it is no secret that I am a big fan of Felicia Day and her work. The moment I saw this announcement I wanted to learn more. Beyond the description of offering “Eccentricities for your Entertainment,” however, Geek and Sundry remains a mystery for the moment.
The first and only video on the Geek and Sundry Youtube channel is a simple welcome message from Felicia Day herself. Day’s introduction does not give much away about her new project, but she touches briefly about being busy with production and “cool stuff” coming soon. Until the Geek and Sundry site officially launches Day encourages fans and viewers to subscribe to the channel or join the newsletter for early access to videos going online in a few months.
Dragon Age: Redemption slays your heart on Valentine’s Day
What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than to watch Felicia Day do some medieval butt-kicking? The official DVD release for the video game based web series Dragon Age: Redemption has been slated for Feb. 14.
Dragon Age: Redemption is set in the same world at the video game Dragon Age II and follows an Elven assassin named Tallis (Day) as she journeys to rescue an AWOL mage. As she ventures through the Dragon Age world, she comes upon knights, magic and all manner of fantasy coolness.
The DVD will include all six episodes of the series, as well as bonus material like behind-the-scenes footage and bloopers. The DVD can currently be pre-ordered at from retailers such as Amazon.com and Best Buy.
Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day discuss upcoming “The Guild” comic
On Felicia Day’s fantasy gaming webseries The Guild, Wil Wheaton plays Fawkes, the Machiavellian leader of the Axis of Anarchy online guild. Fawkes is the antagonist (and occasional paramour) of Day’s heroic cleric, Cyd “Codex” Sherman. And even though Wheaton’s played a major role on The Guild, we’ve never seen what his in-game avatar looks like…until now.
Here’s your very first look at Wheaton’s villainous alter ego, as seen on the cover of Dark Horse’s upcoming The Guild: Fawkes comic by artist Paul Duffield. io9 recently spoke with Felicia and Wil about Fawkes’ tale, which the actors cowrote together.
This is the first time we’ve ever seen Fawkes’ avatar. Were you involved in the design process? Like, “More skulls and spikes, everywhere!”
Felicia Day: I kind of let him lead on it because I always like to see other people’s angles and fresh perspectives on these characters.
What’s Fawkes been up to between the fourth and fifth season of The Guild?
FD: One thing I can say is that this is a much more Axis of Anarchy centered story than we’ve ever seen before, even for the show. It was fun to fill out characters I haven’t visited in a while.
CES 2012: Felicia Day Takes Home Awards for The Guild and Dragon Age: Redemption
Actress Felicia Day does it all these days. The diehard gamer was on hand at CES to check out the latest technology and also attend the awards ceremony put on by the International Academy of Web Television. Day took home awards for “The Guild” and “Dragon Age: Redemption” at the event.
Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh, best known today for their work on The Guild, have collaborated on a The Guild-themed comic that was just released.
The comic, a one-shot comic about Zaboo, Sandeep’s character in The Guild, was just released by Dark Horse and is available in all major comic book stores. It is drawn by artist Becky Cloonan, is 32 pages long and serves as a sort of prequel to season 1 of The Guild.
