New Home for Geeks!

Free Dark Horse motion web-comics. Gaming round-table sessions. Critical and fan favourite web-series. The best of Indie culture. A Fantasy book club. All in one place.
Got your attention? Yeah, thought it might.

I don't know how many of you out there are familiar with a lady named Felicia Day. I would say less than 50% would know here, though according to her its probably only 10%. Hopefully a lot more than I'd guess, but just in case I'm wrong:
Felicia Day is an American actress, known for her work as "Vi" on the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and for parts in movies such as Bring It On Again and June, as well as the Internet musical, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Day is also the star, script writer and producer of the original web series The Guild, a show loosely based on her life as a gamer. She also starred in the Dragon Age Web Series; Dragon Age: Redemption (you really should check this link out!), which she wrote. She is a member of the Board of Directors of the International Academy of Web Television.
At only 32, she is the creator and star of The Guild, an online series whose episodes have garnered over 150 million views since it began in 2007 and for which she's won two best actress Streamys as well. Oh yeah and earlier this year the Hollywood Reporter named her one of the industry’s top 50 digital power players on a list that included George Lucas.
So there you have the basics, essentially she is a geek icon - writes comics, acts in cult favourite movies and TV shows (Buffy, Eureka, etc) and is a complete gamer through and through. In fact her profile both on facebook and google+ have huge followings that reflect her diverse fan-base, recently she's even been hosting hangouts on G+ with fan.

BUT today is less about Felicia as it is to share about the website + video channel she has just launched mere days ago, titled simple Geek and Sundry.

Free-aky Warren Ellis Goodness!!

G'Day folks! Pleasure to see you all again, hope the beginning of this week has not been too hard on you? In the unfortunate event that it has, have no fear – it is wednesday and it's all downhill to the weekend from here.
So site back. Relax. And enjoy the extra awesomeness of what I have for you today.

Im assuming at the start that you all know who Warren Ellis is, he is the snarky, brilliant, painful, mind-bending and one of the most loved writers in comic-dom – known for his techno wizardry and transhuman, extropic, steam-punk and well... generally unconventional narrative styling and concepts.
Still not certain? Well lets see, his more famous works include (but are not limited to): 

More recently and mainstream he revamped Marvel's Thunderbolts into the incarnation we've known and loved since Civil War, wrote a solid run on Astonishing X-Men after Whedon left the title, revamped Tony Stark with the legendary Extremis arc which gave us the Iron Man we know and love/hate today, he was the brains behind destroying Stormwatch over at Wildstorm and creating The Authority and DV8, the totally bad-ass b*tch-slap to trekkie space adventures Switchblade Honey over at AiT/Planet Lar and even a couple of runs on Hellblazer at DC/Vertigo. Not to mention the vast majority of titles over at Avatar Press.
And believe you me folks, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the number of awesome titles this insane genius has put out over the years. Hell he even wrote G.I.Joe Resolute having never known of the franchise before being asked and the final movie (highly recommend it to all fans!!) was in fact so wicked I wished that had been the story for the live-action rather then that sad-sack 'Rise of Cobra' movie.
One of my personal favourites of all time and an inspiration, he has been producing something for a while now that is yet again a redefining move in comics and THAT is what I am here to bring to you.
