[When the video clicks on, viewers see a blonde man in a white labcoat with welding goggles on his head. Dr. Horrible lets out an evil laugh that actually sounds sort of menacing instead of flat-out ridiculous. It's obvious he's been practicing. After adjusting his goggles, he begins to speak.]
Well, as you can see, I finally got a webcam up and running. It's about time, too. The blog just didn't feel right without video and sound. [He pauses and leans back in his swivel chair.] That, unfortunately, is pretty much the only good news I have, besides the fact that the heat and running water are back on. Other than that... nothing.
Ever since coming here, I've been thinking about teleporter project I left back home. I wish I'd sorted it out when I still had a chance; then I could at least try to build a way to get back home. None of it ran on Wonderflonium or any of the other hard-to-get power sources, so I might have had a chance here, but as my research is now... [He sighs.] The transmatter ray worked okay, but there were a few snags I was never able to untangle, and nothing I had was anywhere near ready for human use. And there was that one time that cat somehow managed to get in while I was testing the teleporter...
[He looks away from the camera, expression somewhat blank. It's easy to see he's remembering something pretty horrific.]
I still have nightmares about that cat...
[After a few quietly awkward moments, he starts up again, somewhat back to normal.]
But anyway, I've been thinking about starting up my email segment again. I'm sure some of you have some burning questions you're just dying to ask me, and it was part of my regular blog updates back home, so I figure why not? I can't set up an email address here for the submissions, but I figure I'll just set up a separate post later for you to respond to, and then I'll answer them in my next update. And try not to get too sarcastic or snippy with the questions -- I've already heard quite enough about my name and catchphrase and how "lame" [insert airquotes] I am, okay? Find something original to ask for once.
So, I guess that's it for now. Dr. Horrible, signing off.
