Re: hot geek chicks- I’m not sure. I think maybe it is the fact that attractive women who are gamers/geeks feel like they can admit it now? Felicia seems to be the “real deal”, though: if you check out her blog and her Wikipedia page, she’s extremely smart, plays D&D and video games and has for years, and is genuinely funny.

As for production… Felicia Day has a team working with her (i.e.: it’s not Felica alone), and is connected to very talented and likewise “connected” people like Joss Whedon. What I can’t figure out is how these talented people who produce these quality videos get funded. There must be sponsors and advertising involved, but does that really pay the bills? I hope so, as I keep stumbling across various web video series that I’d like to succeed well enough to continue producing episodes.
