The result is a must-watch for anyone who loves Felicia, MMO, geeks and/or cute girls dancing around in short skirts. Seriously, you’re pressing play now, right?
Admit it, your inner nerd is totally jumping up and down and clapping.
Fans of Felicia’s have followed her through her stint as Potential Slayer Vi on the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Penny in Joss Whedon‘s online musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and Mag in the unaired “Epitaph One” episode of Dollhouse. Also, that’s her in those Sears ads.
But it’s her work on The Guild, which she both created and stars in, which has made her a bona fide internet darling. The series has had over 10 million views and Felicia herself has more than 1 million Twitter followers. And, as if to prove her online dominance once more, the “Do You Wanna Date My Avatar” debuted at No. 1 on iTunes yesterday, beating out the likes of Taylor Swift, Shakira and Michael Jackson.
So, are you ready to date those avatars?
