This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

In which Spike reveals his secret love of Musicals.

Not those Rogers and Hammerstien or Iriving Berlin ultra Macho musicals. Oh no, this love that dare not speak it's name is reserved for Dr. Horrible's sing along Blog.

What?

You've never heard of it? Never seen it?

Get thee on line and learn to love again.  It will touch you, as it did me, in places you aren't supposed to be touched. I think I have a rash...

Go. Now.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

It was funny. I'm waiting for the DVD to watch it again. :D

Of course like much of the rest of that creators work, it had that kind of ending. Which I don't want to spoil.

I got it on my iPod (natch) which means that I've been watching it over and over again.

This means that now I have the songs going through my head ... the intricate, clever, intensely fast and boppy songs.

The songs that I should on no account sing in any public place.

It's a bit of a problem for me, but on the whole I'm quite happy with Dr. Horrible's impact on my life.

I thought the ending was pitch perfect and I keep singing "with my Freeze Ray".... and I didn't even put it on my Ipod...

Dr. Horrible left me cold, I must admit. But then, I _do_ like Irving Berlin and Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Edit: I like R&Hammer, not love them. Berlin's solid though. Gilbert and Sullivan are excellent too.

I know this is a 'necro' from two years ago - but I've fallen in love with the DVD version of DR. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. Also I watch various versions quite often on YouTube.

When Neil Patrick Harris did a Guest Star appearance on "Glee" this year I kept hoping for a Dr. Horrible toss off reference.
