Attention Felicia Day Fans! Check Out Dragon Age: Redemption

Are you a fan of actress Felicia Day? Are you a fan of the role-playing video game Dragon Age from BioWare?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you are going to love Felicia’s new project in conjunction with the folks behind Dragon Age.
The following is a recent verbatim post made by Felicia Day at her Facebook page:
In March of last year my agent got a call…asking if I’d like to work on a project together. It was a vague call that turned into the idea of working in the world of Dragon Age, making a web series, acting in a piece of DLC content for the game as the character I created. No way I could say no, right?!
-3 months later I had a script written.
-7 months later we were in pre-production.
-10 months later we were shooting.
-14 months later I did all the mo-cap and vocal recording for the DLC, Dragon Age: Mark of the Assassin.
-16 months later we finished post-production.
-18 months later you get to see the result on Machinima starting today with the trailer (which you can find further below)
With the help of Bioware/EA, AMD coming on board as a sponsor, and over 200 cast/crew members, we made it happen! I know I’ve talked a bunch about this project over the last several months, so enough talk, release it already, right?
Starting next Tuesday I’ll be linking all the episodes to you here and on all my social media accounts(midnight international release on Machinima FYI), I’ve also been given a BUNCH of schwag to give out each week, like DLC codes, Dragon Age merch, signed headshots (etc.), so hopefully you’ll enjoy that. There’s a podcast (and more) so lots of fun stuff to come!
There’s a fanart contest currently going on over at Bioware around Tallis’ outfit (and a nice blog entry by the designer of the costume, Greg Aronowitz) and a puzzle contest that I’ll be helping link to all week until (the) launch, so maybe give that stuff a peek to tide you over (until the) launch!
Also I’m planning to schedule some Google Hangouts to interact with you guys about the episodes, so you can meet the cast and crew and ask questions about the show. I’ll announce those later on Twitter and Facebook and Google+, so be sure to follow me there.

And, drumroll please……
Here is the trailer for Dragon Age: Redemption:

It is a call to arms: Geek Girls Unite!
And, its the name of a book by Leslie Simon that is “a literary celebration of all the fangirls, fashionistas, bookworms, indie chicks, craft mavens, and other female misfits out there”.
The full name of the book is Geek Girls Unite: How Fangirls, Bookworms, Indie Chicks, and Other Misfits Are Taking Over the World and is described as follows:
What do Amy Poehler, Bjork, Felicia Day, Martha Stewart, Miranda July, and Zooey Deschanel have in common? They’re just a few of the amazing women proving that “geek” is no longer a four-letter word.
In recent years, male geeks have taken the world by storm. But what about their female counterparts? After all, fangirls are just like fanboys—they put on their Imperial Stormtrooper Lycra pants one leg at a time.
Geek Girls Unite is a call to arms for every girl who has ever obsessed over music, comics, film, comedy, books, crafts, fashion, or anything else under the Death Star. Music geek girl Leslie Simon offers an overview of the geek elite by covering groundbreaking women, hall-of-famers, ultimate love matches, and potential frenemies, along with her top picks for playlists, books, movies, and websites. This smart and hilarious tour through girl geekdom is a must-have for any woman who has ever wondered where her sassy rebel sisters have been hiding.
Simon is the Senior Creative Director for Warner Bros. Records and is also the author of two other books: Wish You Were Here: An Essential Guide to Your Favorite Music Scenes and co-author of Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide to Emo Culture.
