It’s only been online for about 24 hours now, but I’m pretty sure Geek & Sundry has just become my new favorite Youtube channel!
Geek & Sundry, the highly-anticipated premium YouTube channel and company founded by Felicia Day and the team behind the hit web series The Guild, has launched three new shows on their channel and a special music video “I’m The One That’s Cool.” The channel launch today also includes a new trailer for the upcoming show, Sword & Laser, as well as the YouTube debut of The Guild. Spearheaded by prominent geek figureheads, Geek & Sundry features original content by Felicia Day (The Guild, Dr. Horrible, Eureka), Wil Wheaton (Star Trek, The Big Bang Theory), Veronica Belmont & Tom Merritt (Sword & Laser), Paul & Storm (w00tstock), and Dark Horse Comics. (Seriously, what an awesome collection of geeky talent!)
The first episodes for the new shows include:
