I've been watching Mr Deity for a couple of months now and thought it was about time I shared it here, if you've not seen Mr Deity already.

I came in on episode 3, Mr Deity and the Light, which is just hilarious. But the first episode is great, and obviously, being episode 1, is the place to start.

As I understand it Brian Dalton, the writer and director of Mr Deity who also plays Mr Deity himself, wrote the first episode as a personal response to the Asian tsunami of Christmas 2004. And then, realising that he'd hit on a cracking theme, carried on making episodes of Mr Deity. I've just watched episode 9, Mr Deity and the Book, through the Mr Deity podcast feed in iTunes (or you may like to go to the podcast RSS feed), but it's not available on YouTube yet so I can't put it in here.

Anyway, here is Mr Deity episode 1, Mr Deity and the Evil.

In fact I've loved it so much that I've even downloaded the Mr Deity ringtone for my phone! Is that going a bit too far...?
