Official Guild Tees Now Available

from The Guild:

We’re very excited to announce that Jinx Tees is now the provider of the official Guild Tee! The quality of the shirt will be much better than the print-on-demand we’ve been providing before, and they will be providing DVD fulfillment to us as well, saving Felicia and Kim from packaging DVDs on the floor of the kitchen as they have been the last few months! Maybe they won’t get lost as much either! 🙂

We hope you enjoy this new offering, and we will be adding new designs as the season is launched on November 25th.

And if you purchase a Tee, please submit a picture of yourself in it to make our new Jinx store look fancy! Look for more exciting updates on the show in the coming weeks, there are some doozies down the road!

TIME 50 Best Inventions 2008: #15, Dr. Horrible

from TIME:

15. The Direct-to-Web Supervillain Musical

Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) is just your average lovelorn bad guy trying to make it big — he’s got some dubious weapons, a secret hideout, a square-jawed nemesis (Nathan Fillion) and a video blog. Oh, and he sings. Think The Diaries of Lex Luthor as told by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon conceived and produced the online video Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog during the writers’ strike. It’s hard to imagine a studio green-lighting an idea as weird and ostensibly uncommercial as a 43-min., three-part online supervillain musical. But in a medium that rewards the unconventional — the Web — Dr. Horrible was a hit. After its July debut, the series reached No. 1 on iTunes’ video chart, with 2.2 million downloads a week. Now there’s a sound track, Web comics and a dvd on the way. Cue the maniacal laughter.

2) Who are you planning on voting for in the 2008 presidential elections (Obama, McCain, Undecided)

3) What is the number one most important issue to you when choosing a presidential candidate?

4) Would you be interested in a phone interview with Effinfunny/Machinima.com so you can sound off on your thoughts anonymously about this election? If yes, please leave us your name and number.

That’s it! Thanks! If you’re not a WoWer then go watch episode 5 of Neil (we’re so close to 100K views I can taste it!)

Photos of Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh at San Diego Comic-Con 2008

Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh at San Diego Comic-Con 2008

I had a chance to sit down with Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh of The Guild on the final morning of this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, and was thrilled to have the chance to speak with them. They were both extremely funny and easygoing as they interacted and jibed with me and each other. The interview was videotaped with the intent to put it on ÜberSciFiGeek, and because of the noise at the convention a voice recorder was also kept running. Thankfully, someone was taking photos as well. I say thankfully because, the day I was getting ready to transfer the video to my computer for editing, my camera died… after inserting the tape. Presently, the interview is still locked away within the belly of my very dead Panasonic video camera. The audio of the interview has already been posted here in MP3 format, and now we finally have some photos to share! If you are a fan of Felicia and Sandeep, you will love this collection of over 100 photos of them.

A special thanks to Squeak for getting up early and tagging along to take the photos. You’re a life saver!
