yay for certain victorian fashions, eh on everything else.

Actually, it's more than that for the purists. It's a literary genre where they get creative and speculate on how certain things would have existed in Victorian times. People really do put some effort into it, in both writing and art, and it's pretty sweet.

Then you haver the bandwagon Steampunk people. I think this video sums that part up: Just Glue Some Gears On It (And Call It Steampunk)

You should also check out some of the art people have made, it's amazing. This laptop is a great example. Far more than sticking some gears on something, they have reworked it with wood and brass. More cool stuff on the website

She. Is. Adorable.

I hate her so much... If you have ever seen bill engvall do his Dorkfish impression.. it looks exactly like her.

Maybe not the classiest way to state it, but I hear where you're comin' from, brother....

Icetech3: I hate her so much... If you have ever seen bill engvall do his Dorkfish impression.. it looks exactly like her.

In other words, she didn't 'Friend' you on FaceBook?

Yes

Tax Boy: Steampunk is what happens when goths discover brown

A tip of the hat to you, good sir.

opeth247: She. Is. Adorable.

She. Said. "Vagina."

\"devouring virgin"

Icetech3: If you have ever seen bill engvall

There are more direct ways to let us know you have poor taste then citing Bill Engvall comedy routines.

Thank you for your contribution. I often go into threads about people I hate so I can talk about comedians who do updates of the same joke over several albums.

I don't care for her much either, but Bill Engvall? Come on, man.

opeth247: She. Is. Adorable.

She goes up to freakin' gorgeous once she shuts her mouth.

Also when D&D/Warhammer enthusiasts find steam engines.

Lookin' good Ghastly! *wolf whistle*

opeth247: She. Is. Adorable.

Along with Veronica Belmont, she's gorgeous.

Just follow her on Google+. She's posting every 5 minutes.

Her and Wil Wheaton.

The beauty of photographs are there's no talking involved.



robohobo: She cute,

Also, she knows how to pander like no one's business.

And THIS. Her and Olivia Munn work their crowd well

I'll just drop a couple book titles here that I've rather enjoyed recently...

Phoenix Rising: A Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences Novel
The Doomsday Vault: A Novel of the Clockwork Empire

Ghastly: Also, me performing at the Steampunk Titanic Show.

And me performing with Thomas Dolby at the Mod Club in Toronto.

I saw him a couple months ago at The Social in Orlando. Max crowd is only like 400. Great show. I did leave a message in the Time Capsule. :-)

Ooh! Is it a dress?

bulok: And THIS. Her and Olivia Munn work their crowd well

Olivia Munn is an actress who found a niche in "geek" projects.

Felicia Day is a geek who became an actress.

It's an important distinction.

Hmmmm, I'll have to check those out. I've been meaning to try out some of the steampunk fiction. Written well, I could definitely enjoy it.

Thanks

Actually I was googling around and I can't find any mention of why she left the show. I'd be curious to hear if there's anything more interesting than "moving on to other projects".

Anyway I never found her performance to be good at all. The one with her Chinese mother was OK, but the rest sucked.

It's tough to find good Steampunk fiction. Some of it goes way over the top, some of it takes.. odd tangents (apparently hetero men are a severely endangered species in Gail Carriger's books). Those two I linked are solid, and both have sequels either lined up or already out. I'd put Phoenix Rising as the better of the two.

Her knees are just right.

I had this idea of this Western Steampunk alternative history set in North America, but, I'm a fan of Deadlands, so that influence could seep through.

Felica and Zooey Deschanel are just so darn quirky and adorkable ...

Subby seems desperate for attention.

Felicia Day is a geek who became an actress.

Not according to wiki, which talks about her acting career starting at age 7. And if she was such a geek, then how come she talks about learning about steampunk in this video? It's not exactly a fringe culture, at least in the circles she allegedly runs in.
Honestly, her persona seems manufactured to appeal to geeks, like a more approachable version of Munn: interested in geek culture, but never knowledgable enough to be threatening to insecure nerds.

And she was the weakest part of Dr. Horrible, both in terms of singing and acting.

What else would you call someone who was a) homeschooled

b) raised on old school video games (she's mentioned Zork and King's Quest and you can't get much more old school than that)

c) double majored in Music and Mathematics (she was accepted at Juilliard but chose to go to UT where she got a full ride)

d) is a self confessed "Video game addict"

Also, season 5 of The Guild (which she writes) dealt with steampunk subculture as one of its plot lines and it came out in 2011 so I suspect the whole "learning about steampunk" thing is just for the benefit of the video.

Snapper Carr:

Homeschooled. Most geeks, like most people, are not homeschooled; and many homeschooled kids are not geeks.

b) raised on old school video games (she's mentioned Zork and King's Quest and you can't get much more old school than that)

You must be young.

c) double majored in Music and Mathematics (she was accepted at Juilliard but chose to go to UT where she got a full ride)

I was a music major, and I can tell you, there were not a lot of geeks in the program.

d) is a self confessed "Video game addict"

"Self-confessed" is in no way inconsistent with what I said.

"Manufactured persona for videos" however, is consistent with what I said.

Good Lord. Would the two of you stop and look at yourselves for one minute. If Jesus came back today, is this what you would want left as the last written account of your actions?
Where is the endgame with this little back and forth? Is one of you going to give in and admit that Ms. Day is not/is actually a hardcore nerd? What is the prize related to that? I can only assume that since we're breaking down each other's posts on a piece by piece basis that there is some sort of serious money involved for this level of debate.

Well, both of you can knock it off. Ms. Day will have you know that her nerd cred is irrelevant because she is giving it all up to spend every waking moment with me. From now on, you two can debate the level of her devotion to Sun Worshiping Dog Launcher, because that is all she cares about now.

I hope to the holy FSM that if she doesn't read Fark. Wheaton is around here, he may have told her about this place, and here we have the two of you slap fighting over some her nerd status. Go put some pants on and try to be civil.

Last week she actually mentioned seeing a link about her here once. It was, evidently, not a positive experience for her.
