I don't consider myself a gamer (of the video or table-top variety), but I pretty much approve of everything Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day do. I would follow them into the bowels of Mordor. I would carry their cloaks while they captured a rogue Qunari mage. I would completely humiliate myself on my own blog.
So that's how I ended up a frequent visitor of Geek & Sundry. And the website has a new feature called "Written by a Kid" that is . . . just delightful. It's KIND of like Drunk History, except instead of grad students recounting history stories under the influence of LOTS of alcohol, it's adorable children telling made-up stories under the influence of their crazy imaginations. And then famous people act them out.
There's only one video up so far, but it features Joss Whedon battling a one-eyed monster while shimmying around in a permanent squat. And I brought it here for you. Because I love you THAT much.
UPDATE: A second episode of "Written by a Kid" just went up! It has a goth stepdad. Of course it does.
I kind of want to marry the internet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day, Alice...maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteSQUAT team! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThey said they were all in pain from 3 hours of squatting. Worth it.
ReplyDeleteDude. This is so awesome - thank you for this edition of the hump day nerdgasm. This needs to be like a newspaper column or something, STAT.
ReplyDeleteYou are TOO kind. (Do you think they would let me say "nerdgasm" in the newspaper?)
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why children are amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd drunk history majors...they're pretty amazing too.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally late to this party but OMG SO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you, Megs,for bringing this joy into my life.
