I am a bit late to the party on this one, but Geek and Sundry is YouTube channel that I have just come across. It's now my best and favourite thing. http://geekandsundry.com/ It is the creation of an immensely talented lady by the name of Felicia Day, who is the genius behind the show "The Guild" - a fabulous web-show about a bunch of dysfunctional gamers who work excellently together as a team in The Game, but cannot cope with the stresses of real life, I discovered this while watching a show called Tabletop, hosted by Wil Wheaton (from Star Trek Next Gen and Big Bang Theory) - another excellent program where Wil and a few 'celebrities' demonstrate a tabletop board game each episode. I'm currently working my way through The Guild and am up to season 5 now. But make sure you watch Written by a Kid too - very funny. Enjoy! |

Yes, I've been a fan of G&S ever since it started, and it's certainly a great channel. Some other stuff you didn't mention but are also a good watch: - Sword&Laser: based on the similar named bookclub over at goodreads, this show talks about Fantasy & Sci-Fi literature. They even got to interviewing GRR Martin. - On The Table: it was a wonderful day in my life, when I saw that Beasts of War (of which I am quite a big fan) & G&S were teaming up. This show talks about all the latest news about card, board, war en rp gaming. Great to see there are some fans over here to! |

I want a Big Bang Theory episode of Tabletop with everyone in character - Sheldon & Wheaton desperately wanting to win - it would be hysterical. |

The guy who plays Howard Wallowitz made an appearance on The Guild at the end of season 4. That was pretty cool - but I agree, I'd also love to see Sheldon and Wil Wheaton battling it out in Tabletop. |

I was on board since day 1 I think! I already used to follow The Guild before G&S was up. It's pretty funny, and surprisingly (or not, since Felicia Day is a known hardcore WoW gamer) realistic. Everything on that channel has been pretty good so far, but other shows to pay particular attention are Sword and Laser (a sci-fi and fantasy book club - The Hobbit is Decembers book!), Written by a Kid (how come nobody come with that idea before?!), MetaDating (where day(9) and friends play through and discuss dating simulation videogames-hillarious stuff), Space Janitors (a spoof on sci-fi movies), TableTop with Wil Wheaton and, of course, On the Table (a show with the latest gaming news, by the Beasts of War crew). Also really like the monthly hangout with Patrick Rothfuss. |

Seen the latest 'on the table'? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl7XxsNn1Mk I got all the questions right!... But meh, they weren't exactly what you could call difficult. |

Warren was quite glowing about The Hobbit game and minis. |
