Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog



Holy crap. Joss Whedon, you are one amazing man. This man has created some of the most popular, enduring, and endearing programs in history, and he continues to churn them out. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is just the latest.

A 42-minute musical web production about mad scientist Dr. Horrible, played by Neil Patrick Harris of Doogie Howser fame. His quest is to gain entry into the Evil League of Evil, and at the same time, win the heart of the girl at the laundromat, all the while being thwarted by self-centered Captain Hammer, played by Nathan Fillian, also known as Captain Malcom Reynolds of Firefly.

The truly amazing part of this is that the project was written during the Writer's Guild strike, and thus was payed for entirely by Joss Whedon himself. All I have to say is bravo, job well done.



That is all.

Live long and prosper.

What is gaming?

Our Quickly Tilting World, by subrosian (via Destructoid)

If you have ever wondered about why people play video games, read this article. It is a very well-thought-out analysis of the psychological reasons gaming is so popular. I highly recommend it.
