Stop the Presses!
No sooner had I published the last post when I realised all the 'Guild Sells Out" videos are live RIGHT NOW!
So, without further stopping for screen grabs, here they are:

The Streamy Awards 2009 - oh what a night!
I have seen the future
But at first I could only hear it. The Streamys Red Carpet started at 6:00 PM (Pacific) and I duly tuned in to the Streamys' website but there was no feed. A quick check on Twitter confirmed that I wasn't the only one in the dark. After some delays, though, the live streaming started in time for the Awards. And what a ceremony it was!
The Felicia and Joss show
No long after it had started I realised that I take screen grabs, which sent me into a frenzy. The picture - live streaming on my 15" Macbook screen - was brilliant. So I was there, trying to follow Twitter, The Guild chat, the Streamys, making comments and taking screen grabs. Next year I will deploy more screens!
And the first hosts are - Sandeep and Felicia!
It opened with two very familiar faces. Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh were the first presenters and set the tone for the whole night - funny, snappy, professional and awesome. Sandeep hammed it up magnificently and it was great to see the obvious chemistry between these two friends.
It gets a bit blurry
As I said, I was approaching systems overload with the monitoring so many things at once while coping with the emotions of seeing people I have been following not just receiving the recognition they deserve, but showing why it is deserved. If you were following my Twitter stream last night I apologise for the disjointed nature of the posts!
Some highlights
- Neil Patrick Harris' speech where he dissed Nathan Fillion and asserts that he "...pads his junk..."
- Felicia's speech where she thanked everyone who had ever rejected her and forced her to do it for herself. And the way she thanked her boyfriend. And Kim Evey (who was sadly absent). And all the fans....it was a great speech
- Joss' speech where he thanked Felicia for being his mentor
- Jeff Lewis' speech where he thanked the fans. Over and over again. In hilarious fashion. Also, he was nervous (Jeff we love you!) and Vince looking fab (I just wish Robin Thorsen and Amy Okuda had taken the stage too)
- Cameos from Felicia and Kim Evey (as Kiko) in the 'How to make a web video' short - hilarious!
- Maurissa Tancharoen receiving the Dr Horrible award
- Jane Espenson's speeches and how much effort they put into making sure the BSG webisodes were complete pieces of art and not just tacked on for the sake of it (she put it so much better!)
- Lisa Kudrow - I'm not sure what was going on but it amused me!
- Felicia almost not getting onto the stage for the Best Comedy award because she was behind scenes having a drink
There were many other great moments. For better and more complete coverage please see these:

More pictures on Flickr
I've put up the screen grabs up on my Flickr account - there's 46 of them. There are probably more, so I'll check later and upload them. And tag the ones that are there.
Summary
The future is here. And it's web television! The Streamy Award ceremony was awesome. I need at least a day to recover, and I wasn't even there!

The Guild Season 2 - Episode 11: Collision Course
The "Guild" guys crash the girl's night; Zaboo gets a rude awakening.
Okay. Season 2 has been building up, week by week, piling on the layers and ramping up the tension and in this episode we see - eek! - some actual kissage! And it was...sweet and hot (er..you know what I mean by that, right?). We also see a whole lot more of some people (aww yeah!) plus some very welcome extras (@egspoony you were totally cool!). And 'the stunt guy', Wade, is fantastic. Played winnigly by actor Fernando "Fu-Nan" Chien he has been an awesome addition to the cast this season. Fernando is a cool guy, too, and you can follow him on Twitter as @Killa4.
The Bladezz and Tink arc also came to a head, though I'm not sure it's resolved yet. Clara continued to out-party everyone under the table and Vork...? What can you say about a man who brings baggies with him so he can take away the party food in convenient containers? But Codex - what are you going to do? I can't wait for next week. And at the same time it's going to be sad because that'shttp://twitter.com/Killa4going to be the end of the Season...Felicia? You are writing Season 3, aren't you? Please say you are...
Digg it up!
And don't forget to Digg this episode (and the others if you haven't already). The more support the fans show the easier it will be for Season 3 to happen.

Season 2 - Episode 9: Grouping Up
New Episode of The Guild!
I love the way this season is building up! I have no idea what's going to happen at the end but it's going to be exciting. The relationships are developing (especially the Zaboo/Vork bromance) and this time, my money is on Clara for 'most likely to have a meltdown'. Which means that Codex must be growing as a person - go Codex! Or it could just mean that Clara is disintegrating faster - oopsie Clara!
Bladezz may just have crossed the line, too, and takes the lead in the 'most likely to suffer physical harm'. At the hands of Vork? We shall see. If so, I don't think we can rely on Tink to look after him - she is probably far too busy thinking up new ways to torture him.

The Guild Season 2 - Episode 6: Blow Out
The girls give Codex advice, and friction between Vork and Zaboo escalates. Plus sexy Codex, more Tink intrigue, Clara on the edge, Bladezz gets totally pwned by his little sister Dena and the Vork/Zaboo bromance deepens.

Season 2 - Episode 5: Sacking Up
Zaboo continues his quest to become a man, while Tink tries to "help" Codex. This is such a funny episode - and totally laugh out loud at the end. The next one is due tomorrow, too!
