A Truly Nerdy Web Series

If you haven't seen it yet, head over to The Guild for some good laughs and interesting times.

Okay, I'm not really giving it the sell it deserves. But it is a high-quality, award-winning series, destined to elicit a few chuckles from you at least. And if you're a nerd or geek, you'll be in heaven. It shows the "adventures" of a sextet of gamers who have joined together as "The Knights of Good" in an MMOG (massively multiplayer online game) with a medieval theme.

It's written by and stars Felicia Day, a talented young writer, actor and mover-and-shaker in the geek community. (She was recently featured on the Lifehacker site in the "This Is How I Work" segment.)

Besides Ms Day, each episode features a great cast of character actors, with an occasional guest star thrown in. The original five seasons are shown at the link in the first line above, but starting with Season 6, episodes will be shown on Felicia Day's channel Geek & Sundry.

Give it a watch! You'll be glad you did!
