I love Felicia

[@Revaris]

I hope she never loses her sense of modesty, it adds to Felicia's character and who she is.

[@fidelitycreate]

oh my goodness, she looks stunning, humana humana humana

[@davidprince1138]

Yes, indeedy!

[@Dakkalistic]

She's just great. I hope she keeps on living the dream, entertaining us in the process.

[@TheEccentricHippie]

she is just... wow... there are few people in the world that get to be this comprehensively awesome.

[@lovelyrita64]

She's my role model. I love you Felicia!

[@ehook]

Oh I luv Felicia for the "date my avatar" song and that because she's Zojja on Guild Wars 2!!

[@DizzIlike]

Felicia Day is a case of looks actually reflecting what's on the inside. Amazing person...

[@GrahamNificent]

She's an impressive individual. She is so awesome that she made web video work. xD I love her from The Guild and from Whedon shows. Keep being creative and awesome, Ms. Day!

[@Alayni01]

I'm so happy to have Felicia represent us ginger nerds, such a cool person and I love how she said "screw you" to the producers and directors who rejected her and said she would do her own thing and then made something of herself. Inspiration!

[@Sicvicious]

she's gorgeous

[@Seedofwinter]

A real polymath, she is. I used to watch her web series, Guild, and I thought it was really funny and I found her to be a pretty and cute girl. I was watching Supernatural and seen her in one of the rear episodes and her performance was awesome. I was wondering where I seen her before, couldn't place it, so googled and rediscovered her. I hear she's near professional violin, a math wiz, a avid gamer and now a serious actress It doesn't hurt that she's a knock-out too. Perfect storm, I think

[@WhitneyDrake]

She's a natural redhead- she might dye it to make it a brighter red, but there was an interview with pictures of her from high school. She had red hair back then, too.

[@DanielDelgado]

I wish I had seen this when it was first put out. I have so much respect for Felicia Day and her team. The Guild is awesome and I am really loving her new project, Geek and Sundry. It puts a lot of cool stuff out there for techies and lovers of various things "geek". I wish Ms. Day all the success in the world and I look forward to seeing more from her creative mind.

[@supergfunk]

I grew up in the 80s/90s and I feel her situation totally, I was considered a total geek and now I'm the guru for literally everyone in my hometown...Or I'm used for my computer skillz. haha

[@gcaj85]

One of her best interviews that I've seen.

[@gulllars]

What she says at the end is so true, a niché on the internet is like a hit on TV or radio in most countries. If 0.1% of the internet is into something, that's over 1M people.

[@GITMachine]

This girl and her show are just awesome.

[@kettle2293]

If only I could watch bloody season four jesus it's hard to find!

[@speeedytc]

every one keeps saying how hot she is... yes she is very pretty but did any one also notice how well spoken she is? she is very intelligent. and i admire her for that!

[@blastwave2k]

i love this woman. she is incredible. you've come such a long LONG way from buffy the vampire series! xD keep up the amazing work!

[@terrafermi]

Thanks for all the fun Felicia! I look forward to more!

[@MyidolGwen]

I aspire to be just like Felicia, she's an inspiration. You can have a passion for gaming and make something from that. No hobby is too stupid, and never let anybody tell you you can't. I know I was brought up hearing that all the time, but it truly never clicked until I realized I wanted to pursue a dream that everyone else thought was bogus. Then from that point I knew I had to dismiss all doubt, I have to focus on me and how committed I am. Thanks, Felicia.

[@getalife768]

@MrPrototypz She's a web series star in that she stars in a web series. Beyond that, she not only acts in a web series, but she's built an incredible business for herself; she's a very impressive creative force on the internet.

[@veveze]

Felicia Day is such an inspiring person.

[@Elterminal]

she is just the most beautiful, intelligent and interesting woman i have seen in my life. I'd love to meet her for a day and just ask her some questions and just have a chat.

[@Sniperwolfe03]

Go Dr. Horrible!!! If you haven't seen the series check them out on youtube. Also stars Neil Patrick Harris

[@johnspencer3888]

how do you not love miss Day?

[@4dianasaur]

Once, I asked her if she liked olives. She said yes. True story (it was at vidcon)

[@wendeln92]

FD is always adorable, intelligent and talented, but in this video she is exceptionally beautiful, and those eyes and alabaster skin!!!! Beautiful beyond beauty. The quirky, nerdy/geeky girl-next-door is just another facet of this lovely woman's personality. Oh yeah, since it concerned so many - From the Webster's New World Dictionary - niche (nich; Brit also nesh) so it could be pronounced "nitch" or "neesh". It doesn't matter. Such a silly thing to focus on when there are so many rude and insulting comments postede.

[@fabioproductions]

Just making sure we are all in the same page.

[@kevinvlsqz]

did anyone else here first see her in the last season of buffy the vampire slayer?

[@leonthesleepy]

@HaBooBo0 she is an adult, i think shes 31 now, when she first filmed the first episode she was around 26

[@TheChaosBladeX]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, who's "prettier" is just an opinion and will vary greatly from person to person.

[@KENNYMAN1983]

Felicia looks gorgeous in this video!

[@umjackd]

She has lovely facial expressions.

[@xxtragicharmonyxx]

how did i get here from funday monday?

[@302yt]

The Guild.... I can totally relate to it ^^

[@SOGTrueBeliever]

That was quite cool, Felica Day you are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GlennRobert71]

the awesomest and most loveable person ever... She is amazing.

[@j0phus]

@NajaAshei I think you might be. Do you know what she is doing? She's created a few shows on her own and is 'making it' without using traditional channels.

[@MikChaos]

She's everything you could want - gorgeous, articulate, intelligent and a gamer! Wish my wife would take a few tips LOL

[@timmy69690]

Who disliked Felicia Day? how is it even possible.

[@sadface0]

natural complexions are definitely the best

[@firejutsumaster777]

@speeedytc She's so smart. She got a full scholariship to the University of Texas when she was there, and she did a double-major in Pure Mathematics and Music. She's just a natural brain!

[@andyf4292]

she's just basically the best woman

[@darksting77]

she looks amazing..

[@nohackershere6592]

@makkein Hope you know, she is a vampire slayer. Watch the last season of Buffy. I would be careful about mentioning vampires...

[@nitramXgoanaut]

4.15... very sweet..

[@flashandthepan]

Your music was so loud I could not hear her.

[@drkydkill]

Felicia day coolest prettiest woman ever!

[@Kaleetos]

She has gorgeous eyes

[@GrandGash]

She is beautiful inside and out :]

[@Paradox132]

@blastwave2k Who was she in Buffy =o??? I would remember cuz i've seen the buffy seasons like 500 times o.O

[@MrE03]

You broke my heart.

[@CyberUrza]

Very talented. Felicia, we appreciate all you do, especially to promote gaming!

[@DSkehan2004]

wow she looks great

[@BlueV101]

Seriously!? A 13 minute advertisement!?

[@intodeep78]

she is awesome

[@RandomDude1713]

Guild season five got canceled no?

[@DanyalElia]

I hope one day I'll married a girl like her, inteligent and a gamer!!!! Yeahhhh

[@matrixx29]

i wish every woman alive was like felicia day, beautiful, smart, funny and a gamer. That way i KNOW i would have a shot at one of them! lol..

[@artixsouleaterfan]

@TheFirstNeuron You met her!? Lucky!

[@djshorty502]

Why cant i meet a girl like Felicia

[@DarkDennis1961]

@OOZiTen no one is stopping you. send me the link to the vlog

[@Noodlion]

Jesse Cox has resolved to make this woman love him.

[@luddisback]

i just love her!!!!

[@stupidjeloinc]

idk why, but around 2:26 or 2:27-ish, she reminds me of Kristin Stewert....if she ever were to smile.

[@TheFirstNeuron]

@getalife768 And the reason why we love her: she's pretty accessible. I met her last comic-con and trust me when I say this, she actually knows what she's talking about. she's a huge nerd !

[@bkr45678]

@kevinvlsqz She is also in the current season of Eureka :D

[@codnik]

Reason why I clicked the thumbnail.

[@MrViking69]

webseries is the future! where there are ads on the page you visit instead of interupting the show you watch! Gaaah I f***ing hate tv commercials!

[@DBSpy1]

Lots of people love Chuck Norris,I will stick with Day any Day.

[@burgerboy3000]

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT MY HEART IS MELTING. D:

[@superniminim1]

The sweetest thing :)

[@Paradox132]

@blastwave2k nvm i figured it out, she is one of those potential slayer :P my bad xD didn't recognize her :)

[@NJzAchilles]

yes she is perfect!

[@masterkrause60]

I looooooove you felicia!!!!!!!

[@SilverSC2Gaming]

I love the things she stands for... I hope she will make a good living out of it:D

[@Adjusting]

Love you guys.

[@greedlusthate]

I love her!

[@JohnGottschalk]

@speeedytc Well, she's incredibly attractive because of that and many other things, that's why "pretty" is the first thing people mention.

[@falsehope01]

An amazing young woman I very much admire. :D

[@Metaltildethdouspart]

@MrPrototypz The ignorance of some people (ie; you) astounds me. She plays a variety of games making her a gamer by definition (maybe not to your elitist definition). She's not just a web series star; she's been in multiple tv series, and in movies. Felicia Day isn't some aspiring actress to take over the big screens; she's content with making web series that she feels her fans can connect to/enjoy watching. Seriously she gets a lot more credit than most actors/actresses in my opinion.

[@judet2006]

@plutopianation i dunno if that's a plus or a minus...

[@SeventhEve]

@PatPowers1995 It is the product of probably about an hour of work for one or two professionally-trained make-up artists, and then another hour or two of work for a professionally-trained hair stylist. It's not realistic to expect any woman to look like that on a day-to-day basis, but it's fun on special occasions, like a photo-shoot or a wedding. Ms. Day is far too busy to mess with that stuff on her own time!

[@francoisfortin4693]

... i see her to play a Docteur in a new Star Trek ;-)

[@toehawk11]

me gusta......

[@schok51]

@RandomDude1713 Hell no.Why the heck would it be?

[@bluefoolproductions]

Totally inspiring, and in these days of reality tv (groan) making celebrities out of idiots then the web is probably going to be the future of new productions/actors/performers :) At least it's a welcome relief from the cavalcade of programs that are repeated many times in the same week.

[@Undercoverfire]

@RandomDude1713 season five premiers tomorrow.

[@reytony100]

redhead,nerd , wonderful smile ,smart and funny. what do you want anymore?

[@Jj-xh3cy]

Felicia is so hot and just super smart to have just come up with the idea for The Guild. Just wish I could meet her to even just say hello.

[@Brothertom1]

soooooooo pretty my dream girl

[@judet2006]

@knightfourteen explain...

[@koulssgr]

Awesome Felicia is awesome ( andpretty ) ;D

[@theredvsbluefan]

I love her, but I hate niche. I somehow never knew people said niche not like neesh, and now it drives me insane.

[@64revolt]

the guild rules.

[@ultraudv]

@XxRottenMuffinxX why care about the age, she's gorgeous

[@manishn2008]

FELICIA DAY IS ALL OVER MY KZbin
