Have you ever happened upon a series and watched one episode and been confused, and then watched another and laughed in spite of yourself, and then watched a third and become hooked? That's what happened to me with the Hey Ash Whatcha Playin'? series. It's a brilliant web series of mini episodes that capture the essence of various games by following Ash, a gamer who brings themes of whatever she happens to be playing into real life. Usually there are tragic consequences for her brother. The themes are rewarding to the nerd mentality if you get the inside gaming jokes, and hilarious slapstick if you don't. Besides the show itself, the creators post a regular podcast where they discuss games and general geek culture (i.e. they love Firefly, and I love Firefly and therefore they are amazing), and it's generally pretty thought provoking conversation. I highly recommend checking this out if you're looking for a gaming related laugh.
