Seriously, Cyber-Sex Never Sounded So Nerd-Hot...

Apparently there is this web series called The Guild which is about people who play online role playing games or something. I say apparently, because the only web series I ever watch is that Ugly Betty spin-off Mode After Hours. It's been around for a couple of years and is so popular it was funded by PayPal donations from fans before being sponsored by Sprint. The more you know...

Anyway, why am I giving digital ink to a show I have yet to watch a single second of? Because every blog in the world is posting a music video/commercial performed by Felicia Day on lead vocals and the rest of the cast of The Guild. "Do You Wanna Date My Avatar?" is a sexy Aqua-esque pop jam about dating virtual characters. Even if I knew what half the references meant, I don't think I could love it any more than I do. The video is fucking ridiculous, with crazy faux-Middle Earth costumes mixed with Beyonce/Gwen Stefani-style dancing. The most RPG fun you can have without getting into cosplay.
