The Guild
 

The Guild

anyone ever catch this? i watched the first for episodes then forgot about it. I remembered it after watching Felicia Day in Dollhouse Epitaph One.

It's pretty interesting, short, lots of poking fun at MMORPG.

I hadn't heard of this, but thanks for linking.

Wil Wheaton will be in the upcoming season. I've never watched before, but I may have to check it out now. Don't tell Guccilvr ;)

I have enjoyed both seasons. I really like Felicia Day (and the entire cast of The Guild). I even like the related internet show: Legend of Neil.

Cynth that was awesome!!

To say "The Guild" is huge amongst the WoW community would be the understatement of the year. It somehow does a brilliant job of spoofing everything about the human element of MMOs without ever really getting into the gameplay, which makes it all the better.

Watched the first two seasons. Looking forward very much to the third.

Also, Felicia Day is probably the most perfect possible geek chick. Rowr.

I haven't got around to watching all of the second season yet.

It's not as horrible as you'd think a show about the worst parts of MMO would be.

How come I've never ever heard of this?

just finished the second season, I was really impressed by this!

I can't believe how few tfp'erd knew about this show. Seems like the kind of thing the tfp community would be all over. I started watchng after I saw dr. Horrible and wanted to know what Felicia's other credits were all about. Also, uh, I play a lot of wow.

I hadn't posted it because I figured I was late to the game. I only found out about it after Felicia Day starred in Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, and I wondered what else she had done. I love the show even though I have never played WoW or any similar game.

Anyone know when Season 3 will start?

It's on XBOX live. The 3rd season will be on there first before it hits the web. XBOX supported it entire second season. And it's totally free on XBOX live.

I didn't find out about this until I read a blurb about it from Comic Con about Wil Wheaton being in at least one episode. I am with SecretMethod about Wil Wheaton. He is awesome!

New to Youtube: You Wanna Date my Avatar



This is hilarious... plus it shows off Felicia Day in her priest costume. You know, if were just listening to the song and not really the lyrics... it sounds alot like the crap pop music on the radio. I think that's fucking awesome.

autotune crap, as much as I appreciate artistic contribution, I hate music that is so blatantly autotuned.

I've only seen a few episodes so far, but I love it.

Felicia Day is my gf.

Dude, you need to back off, she's mine. I know you are all recharged from going to Cuba, so I'm sure you think you are billy bad ass right now. I will take you down, book-man!

Have you let the rum get to your head? We're totally going to the movies tonight.

Ok, that was just awesome. Auto tune or not.

So, I just watched seasons 1 & 2 in one sitting. Awesome times ten.



Felicia Day is amazing. I've loved her since Buffy, and I didn't even like the Potentials. Also: video rocks, and I'm going to be going around with that stuck in my head for at least a week.

That is all I could think about the whole time I watched it.

I can't tell you how much I love seeing Felicia in that costume (and Tink too!), but I think autotune crap really sums it up. The sad thing is we know she CAN sing from Dr. Horrible's, but I guess they just felt compelled to turn it into pop junk with a machine. Le sigh.

Also, I even loving seeing the costume, I can't help but feel like they're pandering so obscenely to my demographic that it's almost inappropriate for me to enjoy. I don't think that's a normal feeling, but ok.

I feel like I should say that I really really love the show, this music video just seemed like they were trying to hard to make fanboys cream over Felicia and Co. in costume. One of the things that I like so much about The Guild as a show is the fact that it doesn't seem like they're trying. This kind of flies in the face of that charm.

hmmm...really? I saw it more as a tongue-in-cheek kinda thing.

Agreed.

Far be it for me to tell you not to enjoy it, I just didn't think it had the unpolished, effortless charm of the rest of The Guild.

I mean, obviously they're not taking it seriously, so from that perspective I guess you could say it's tongue in cheek, but something about the entire affair rubs me the wrong way. I'm titillated and weirded out at the same time.

I've been following the Guild since Dr. Horrible... it's fun. It's good to see something like this become popular. It suggests a new model for content delivery and production.


Like they are trying to be singers... or be taken seriously as singers.

Who cares if it's autotuned. Did you expect Beyonce?

Besides, it was just a thing they did to raise money to help pay the bills and line the pockets of those involved with filty luche. If you ask me, they should be paid. They do good work.

Is it September yet? Arrrrgh.

Edit: Season 3 Preview! Wil Wheaton in a kilt! *goes all fangirl*

The Guild: Season 3

Thanks Cinn, that made me happy.

Ive never heard of this either but I think it looks awesome.

Just finished season one...after an eight month layoff from episode 8 and 9. Loved episode 10. Now onto season two.

Season 3 Episode 1 on XBOX360 for Gold Subscribers. New episode on Tues 9/1.

:lol: That vid was great, Secret.


Two more days! Hooray!

Are you the same chick that didn't like it when were married and I played wow? Granted, I did it a little bit excessively... :p

Episode 1 is up!


...and left me wanting more. That was a little anti-climactic.








Hellooooooo, Wil Wheaton.

I was kind of hoping this season we'd graduate up from 5 minute episodes to something in the 10-15 minute range. Ah well. Maybe that's just a limitation of the medium or part of its charm?

You're right, CG, what a place to end it!

Also, i take back everything bad I said about Date My Avatar. Ok, I don't take back that I don't like autotune, but it's a catchy song, and I dig it. I can't help myself.

If you want to hear Felicia singing much better, and much *filthier*, check out The Legend of Neil Series II Episode 3. Holy crap.

:lol: That was cool, redlemon. That helps a bit with my Felicia Fix.

This is hilarious and I've passed it on to a few friends, my step-son is a big WoW player and he showed it to some of his programmer buddies at work and they all loved it.

hmmm. Still waiting for it to pick up...maybe now that they're out of line it'll flow a bit better.




And Wil Wheaton IS wearing the kilt correctly. Sa-weeeeet! :)
