    "With this new technology, energy, information and atomic size objects can be transported to anywhere in space."

    So, humans are still stuck here on Earth? We're a lot bigger than "atomic size"...

    if you replace 'strange anomaly' with 'mass effect' that's pretty close to the exposition of mass effect.

    While Felicia Day is adorable as a basket of kittens, the hubba-hubba in this video for me is all the shots of Amy Okuda (Tinkerballa) and Maurissa Tancharoen (the Asian Whedon) as the backup dancers.

    I find Felicia Day boring.

    Sorry I just don't get the nerd-boner seeing her. Probably because she's always giving the same "aren't I adorable" smile in everything I've ever seen her in.

    Jesus H. Christ, I never saw her like this. So far, my only Felicia exposure was trough Whedon stuff (Buffy, Dr. Horrible and Dollhouse) and, as cute she was in all of that, I never saw her this... hawt.

    @Anekanta: I don't think I will ever understand why some nerds think that any girl that is in some way related to video games or comics is 100 times hotter then she actually is.

    Felicia Day is cute at best but I would never consider her hot.

    Slightly above average is what I would call her.

    @Lincolnsbeard33: Ah, come on... I don't think I will ever understand why some nerds think that criticizing and being negative is better than having a good time.

    I don't seriously expect to ever meet Felicia Day; my comments were all in fun.

    But I do think she's attractive; both physically and in terms of personality--or what little of someone's personality one can glean without meeting her.

    Nothing says you have to agree--but you don't have to be so negative either.

    @Chris R: It's not the games - It's the fake game swords, guns and pewter statuettes of monsters. And the action figures. And the tie-in literature. And the special edition OSTs.

    But nothing compares to dragging GIRLS into the mix. Then it's just not fair.

    Once typed, It cannot be untyped! Unless you, y'know... edit it out. However, it cannot be unread. Now I will have nightmares about a stereotypical nerd humping a panda, possibly while wearing a panda suit. In fact, I think the nerd in my nightmare will be wearing a panda suit too.
