Moderating the 3rd H+ Google+ Hangout
In case you missed it earlier today, I had the pleasure of moderating the 3rd Google+ Hangout for Warner Brothers’ hit sci-fi web series H+: The Digital Series. I had a chance to interview cast members Hannah Herzsprung (Manta), Alexis Denisof (Conall), David Rogers (Kenneth), Caitriona Balfe (Breanna) and Samuel Vauramo (Topi). There are a few spoilers, so if you haven’t already checked out the series, be sure to start watching here.
Casey McKinnon on 1337 Lounge Live
In case you missed it live, you can now see the short recap of my appearance on Jace Hall‘s 1337 Lounge Live where I discussed my love of video games, and my recent single Santa is an Atheist. Enjoy!
I was on TableTop…
…but not in the nyotaimori kinda way. More like in the Geek and Sundry kinda way, which means more clothing and less sushi.
I had a really fun time shooting this, and I would do it again in a nanosecond! It’s probably one of the most fun things I’ve ever done aside from playing games with friends OFF-camera! Everyone at the shoot was wonderful, from the amazing and hilarity-inducing Wil Wheaton, to all my arch nemeses fellow players.
In addition to the episode above, the producers also shot an interview with me about… well, me. So here you go:
And here’s the hilarious gag reel that came out a week later:
Nominated for 3 IAWTV Awards!
The International Academy of Web Television nominated my web series A Comicbook Orange for three IAWTV Awards!
- Best Hosted (Taped) Web Series – A Comicbook Orange
- Best Host (Taped) – Casey McKinnon, A Comicbook Orange
- Best Writing (Non-Fiction) – Rudy Jahchan, A Comicbook Orange
We’re all really grateful to the voting members of the IAWTV and I’m looking forward to getting all dressed up and attending the ceremony at CES in Las Vegas! For those who followed my dress exploits before the last big award show I received a nomination for, you’ll be happy/sad to find out I already bought a dress this time!
Be sure to check out the full list of nominees. As a Trekkie, I’m happy to see the amazing Jeri Ryan nominated for Best Female Performance (Drama) for her work on Mortal Kombat: Legacy. Similarly, I’m also relieved to see I’m not in the same category as her. ;) Congrats, Jeri, I hope to see you at the ceremony!
The award ceremony will take place on January 12th, 2012 and will be live-streamed online. I’ll remind you closer to the date and link to the stream from Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and my blog.
In case you missed me on Framerate…
I was a guest on TWiT‘s Framerate this week thanks to the suggestion of the show’s wonderful hosts Tom Merritt and Brian Brushwood! We discussed the online video industry, the future of television distribution, and the TV shows and movies we’ve been watching. Thanks to Tom, Brian, and producer Jason Howell for having me on!

ElfQuest: A SAG New Media Premiere
Our ElfQuest fan trailer came out a few weeks ago and the Screen Actors Guild held a red carpet premiere to celebrate its’ release. It was a fun event complete with popcorn and a Q&A with producers Paula Rhodes and Stephanie Thorpe. My friend Kristyn Burtt was also on hand interviewing cast members on the red carpet for Mingle Media. Here’s the interview she did with me:
Thanks to SAG for making our premiere a special new media event. Also, thanks to all the great press we received, the trailer is now listed on IMDb. If you have a moment, be sure to rate it for us!
ElfQuest: A Fan Imagining now online!
After producers Paula Rhodes and Stephanie Thorpe showed a teaser at Wondercon last week, we’ve got a lot of great coverage everywhere from io9 to BoingBoing! In fact, Attack of the Show will be doing a segment about it today on G4!!!
I hope you enjoy the above “trailer” we all made with lots of love and respect to the ElfQuest comic series. We had an amazing time making it and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks to Paula and Stephanie for all their hard work… I still can’t believe Paula made most of those costumes BY HAND!!!
Please share and enjoy! ;)
