Earlier this year, geek goddess Felicia Day drew her hit webseries to a close… or did she?
by Kellie Sheridan
For anyone who has somehow not yet heard, The Guild is a geektastic webseries that follows the “real lives” of a guild of six socially awkward gamers as they interact both in and out of their favorite online video game. You can even argue it is the web series, as it was one of the very first to reach large scale popularity, and is even credited as being part of Joss Whedon’s …

“The Simpsons as conceived by a singularly sophomoric mind that lacks any reference point beyond other TV shows.”
– Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly.
I used to like Family Guy. I mean, the premise of Stewie and the dog has potential. The jokes at times made me laugh out loud.
But then it started to grate on me. I really didn’t like Peter or Chris. Why do they exist? Why are they such large goobers? How can an unattractive nitwit like Peter land Lois? Why are they telling the same joke over and over? …

I am a Family Guy fan. I have been a fan since its premiere. In 1999 I happened to catch an episode of Family Guy and to be honest I had low expectations. I had thought it was another cartoon from Fox, similar to The Simpsons which I had not enjoyed nor watched in years. I was incredibly wrong in my assumptions. Family Guy was a blast of comic brilliance that came out of nowhere and went unheard by an audience still enraptured by the antics of Friends. At first …
