You're Never Weird On The Internet (Almost): A Memoir | Felicia Day | Talks at Google

Queen of the Geeks, writer and star of The Guild and founder of Geek & Sundry, Felicia Day, came by Google NYC to talk about her first book "You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost): A Memoir."
About the book (complete info found at goo.gl/oZ3XIs):
From online entertainment mogul, actress, and “queen of the geeks” Felicia Day comes a funny, quirky, and inspiring memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to Internet-stardom, and embracing her individuality to find success in Hollywood.
The Internet isn’t all cat videos. There’s also Felicia Day-violinist, filmmaker, Internet entrepreneur, compulsive gamer, hoagie specialist, and former lonely homeschooled girl who overcame her isolated childhood to become the ruler of a new world…or at least semi-influential in the world of Internet geeks and Goodreads book clubs.
Moderated by Alan Seales.

how can one NOT fall in love with her >.<

[@harroldtobin6742]

I had never heard of her when I downloaded the audio version of the book. I cannot say how great it is. Funny, entertaining and a great listen. I am only 1/2 way through, so I thought I'd go check out her KZbin stuff. I have just looked at 1 of her videos, so my learning curve is steep. The Book is a must read check it out on audio as she is so enthusiastic and funny when she reads it. (Only down side is no pictures that she references in the audio book)

[@littleazndae]

I (binge) read her book in a few hours as soon as I got it. As a fellow gamer and fan of her work, it was very compelling and relatable. I watched The Guild (but did not buy the DVDs; sorry Felicia...or I guess you're welcome since that was one less thing to stamp?) since it first came out and instantly fell in love with it. But looking back at it now, I can better appreciate it knowing (as much as a reader could) the sweat, tears, and effort that went into it. Thank you for a glimpse behind the curtain and for putting out such great content. Thank you, Felicia, for being you.

[@PrairieStorm]

The world needs more Felicia Day.

[@freddb1975]

I love this woman.

[@orangepeals7210]

Felicia feels like a cool big sister.

[@liriking11]

I bet Ryan Day agrees

[@lillia_venitaes3351]

+Liri Ronen sorry to be pedantic its Written Ryon :)

[@liriking11]

ShortiesGamingHub oh thank you

[@ScorpionRegent]

+What I Bought on Steam That doesn't work for me, unless she was the clone of the cool big sister I never had, who was born while I was in college. If I was a kid she would be the coolest aunt.

[@lorcannagle]

That second-last question about return on investment is absolutely not boring, and I'd love to see an extended discussion of that with Day and other web content creators.

[@awetenkamp5680]

I purchased this book, being a fan of Felicia Day, how could I not, right? I have three words to describe this book: Fan-Tas-Tic! She's very open and honest in her book and now that I've read it cover to cover, I've given it to my son as a "must read" because a lot of what he goes through, she's been through, and being that he's a huge fan of hers, and all things gaming and anime, it's something I know he will appreciate, and will be inspired by. Thank you Felicia for all your hard work!

[@MrSimplydashing]

A fascinating gal. Love her positive energy!

[@KozmykJ]

This was lovely. So great to see the Queen of the Internet back on form.

[@jessicaphillips1950]

She is such an inspiration!

[@Delivor212]

I'm really admiring her, she's inspiring

[@proxeor3923]

I was expecting Felicia to be a whole lot more inappropriate. She is constantly like that and I love it.

[@BaseSRKI]

This makes me want to read this book being a geeky person too:) Thanks for this interview

[@TheMikaCollins]

Felicia's book was fantastic & inspiring. I highly recommend if you enjoy a good chuckle on the train to work (or maybe even a quiet sob at the back).

[@cupertinojay677]

only smidge of crit was, for no apparent reason, she refused to include the love of her life.

[@Sushihunter250]

Great interview - Felicia Day is wonderful, I would watch her read the phone book.

[@meattrademark1335]

That's kinda creepy.

[@Billy328]

Absolutely lovely in every way.

[@Tymon0000]

Felicia is so cute :D

[@Tymon0000]

Jocelyn Hofman what is that link?

[@maksphoto78]

+Tymski Apparently, it allows you to download Felicia Day :o) (it's a spam / phishing link, don't click it!)

[@noelc9961]

I loved Felicia in eureka totally loveable character

[@okrajoe]

Great talk Ms. Day. You go girl.

[@jorandar1]

She has a good presence. Very relaxed.

[@Cassiel75]

She´s just wonderfully cheeky *=*

[@melkior13]

I really liked Anne of Green Gables. And Megan Follows. And I had this Little House on the Prairie obsession streak.

[@magillanz]

Felicia's mum sounds awesome.

[@mrscary3105]

Love her!

[@monicachang3054]

he's so nervous haha understandably so

[@noacohen3360]

I love Felicia day 😍😍😍

[@VivaLaDnDLogs]

Thank you for everything you do, Felicia.

[@cecicestmoi]

fyi: Megan Follows played Annie of Green Gables on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) channel.. not Disney.. for years and years.

[@BryonLape]

She and I have the same birthday, 11 years apart.

[@Anklave]

Made me smile, for sure.

[@WingManFang1]

5 years later, it’s all mainstream 👀 💜 🤔

[@ravenhive9513]

amazing

[@YashaClone]

Interviewer was so stiff, poor Felicia.

[@HoldentheHuman]

+YashaClone Phrasing! lol

[@tnekkc]

She could have just spoken for her speaking fee.

[@KyanneSummer]

Felicia.......IT IS A VERY USEFUL BOOK, thank youuuuuuuuu

[@Cassiel75]

Dear Felicia Day,"You´re awesome"!

[@nokinim]

A mata mathical experience :) LOL I love it ! :)

[@kittypimsify]

She's so crazy smart.

[@dheerajvasandani6090]

Supernatural shall miss you :(

[@Giyvin]

I love the word Janky.

[@tygereyes]

Incredible Woman

[@PoopButt134]

Go Felicia!

[@mattday2656]

so cool.

[@nowthenzen]

Felicia is lovely

[@heatherlewis9951]

Positive is infectious.

[@MouseCatStudios]

I love that she made a niche for herself, The host does leave something. I just honestly dont think that they jived well and I don't think he understands her appeal. She pushed through and made a whole company for herself and such an inclusive community. It aint perfect but she got a damn book deal and a tour! That is enormous for a youtuber :)

[@Nexusofgeek]

Broken Wings was a great 80s song

[@Honatuto]

"Richard Garriott created eight of them." I agree. Ascension NEVER HAPPENED. *NEVER. HAPPENED.*

[@supermandimo]

felicia Day, knows Joss Wheaton.... still alive ♡♡♡♡

[@jamesmelton7637]

She's so freaking intelligent... it's weird to see in a media person. People you see getting camera time are generally just not that bright.

[@anewoutlookhey3659]

James Melton true so true

[@mattday2656]

I loved Ultima Exodus

[@ThePoot_tf2]

she played in eureka

[@muslimmetalman]

She looks exactly like Diamond Foxx

[@djchonny]

wow! She truly is a nerd xD, I tought it was the "acting". cool

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

curious thing: felicia adds characters to her creations that she shapes in the form of people she comes across with... nerds, socially akward people, obsessive people, artists, performers, businessmen, you name it. in short, people you should be able to find without trouble if you take a look around and watch and percieve the behavior of the people around you. basically, EVERYONE around you fits into some category. so.... why would anyone want to watch or read any of her works of art if they can simply live the same story she's trying to tell, by simply engaging in conversation with someone else? why would I want anyone telling me about the experience of driving a car, if I can just hop onto a car and drive it? just asking.... for the sake of argument.

[@roleplayertheacting7213]

+onehandyguy Sounds like you take it for granted, and no you couldn't get the same experience by just engaging in conversation because you probably wouldn't share the same perspective of these things. Also the guild was a humorous exaggeration of these people and their perspectives. Personally I benefitted from what Felicia shares in her book because I'm a creative person and it is interesting to hear how she dealt with similar challenges in life. Personally I'm still dealing with challenges in my life so the book inspires me to be more couragous and confident.

[@ravenhive9513]

i dont want to lose her/ supernatural fan

[@Kassuhday]

I ship them.

[@DaxRaider]

as european its so confusing to me that in america dating or stuff between 16 and 20 year olds is illegal xD

[@ITS4390]

As a guy from New Jersey, I feel deeply offended Felicia .....

[@thegreatracistssss]

felicia da homie

[@Hyper_V]

Yeah, I think they definitely should have gotten a different interviewer - he really didn't bounce off of her energy, nor show any enthusiasms (even Felicia commented about it ... definitely not a good thing when the interviewee called you out on your interviewing style...) He did get better as the interview went on though.

[@thetrimreaper1019]

I've never been attracted to redheads natural or not but she my dear Lord is a goddess among men

[@NATHANALOPEZ]

Felicia was great like always.. interviewer was kinda awful

[@meattrademark1335]

50% ugly, 50% pretty somehow equals 100% attractive. It is weird math...

[@Wizardofgosz]

Broken Wings is a bad song?!?!

[@Splattercat]

+Richard Wielgosz At the very least it's a bad Victory song. XP

[@0Zolrender0]

Marry me please Felicia. You are not just beautiful but also intellegent.

[@stueygriffith4671]

Bye, Felicia.....

[@Blackmetalmusicguru]

interview was super awkward... this guy acts like hes never seen a girl in his life. dude get out more geez

[@purpandorange]

Felicia's voice makes me wish I was deaf

[@IsthmusPrime]

+purpandorange Wow, I think you wrote this to feel clever. The difference between Felicia Day's and your KZbin videos is that she comes off as intelligent, coherent and can make a point without the need to rail at others. You might pull a page from her book and get your act together.

[@woooweee]

+IsthmusPrime pastebin.com/KGEYzn16 the people she associates with are just disturbing

[@libertadsilos8798]

wooo weee
