    Geek & Sundry (Felicia Day & Will Wheaton bootstrap a TV channel)

    The schedule is a bit wonky, with a mix of new episodes every other week and sometimes weekly.
    But considering this likely is being done on a tight as hell budget, it's understandable.

    So far they have one episode of The Flog, TableTop, and the Dark Horse motion comic up. They'll also be adding back seasons of The Guild during launch week, as a runup to season 5 starting

    The Flog depends entirely on if you like the lady (I felt kinda bad for the blacksmith).
    TableTop was good, fun to watch, can't wait for the next one (WITH FARGO!).
    Can't speak to the motion comic thing, still on the fence regarding the whole fad.

    Looking forward to Sword and Laser as well. Not so much Learning Town or Written by a Kid (but hey, with Axe Cop, it'll probably work).

    TableTop looks like the only good thing that they have up there. I imagine that is because I like the Celebrity D&D that is done PAX and it seems like Tabletop is pretty reminiscent of that.

    That kids wrote this show seems like it could have potential but I don't have high hopes for it.

    Tabletop was enjoyable. Should have picked an easier game for show one IMO. The flog just seemed awkward. It looks like she has heavy ADD during the whole thing. Bbut sadly I will watch all of these because Felicia Day is just so damn beautiful.

    I actually loved the Flog, but I like Felicia day and it was fun to see her in a hyper-crazy role (everything she's in she's so quiet and awkward)

    I watched Tabletop Gaming and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next episode.

    So, after a few more episodes of each show.

    TableTop is the best. Episode 2 was a bit weak, the Catan play wasn't backstabby enough and the personality at the table was a kinda flat.
    3 however was pretty awesome, felt bad for Freddie though. Can't wait for the next one. It's got Sheriff Carter and the game is Ticket to Ride, been hearing a lot about it lately and want to see it played.

    I never listened to the podcast (I'm not a podcast kind of person), but Sword and Laser is solid from what I've seen.
    I do hope that if G&S ramps up to a huge success, its presence in the lineup gets people watching it and then reading (and reading that fiction).

    As for the motion comics, they're quality productions.
    Personally though, if I wanted to experience the material, I'd, you know, read the comics.

    The Guild is The Guild. C'maaan.

    The Flog, I'll admit unless the segment grabs me in the first minute I just close the tab. Seeing Day be geeky and awkward on TV is fine. Doing it amongst normal people in real life, not so much. The fave five segment is ok though.

    I am loving Tabletop. It really makes we wonder if I could get enough of my local nerdy friends together. Small World looked like it would be really fun.
