I just discovered it and have caught up to the current season 3, which didn't take remarkably long considering most of the episodes were around 5 minutes each.

I found the acting and writing to be funnier than most primetime comedies that actually get shown on TV.

It's hilarious, especially for an avid gamer like me. Although I don't play MMOs the show is nonspecific about the game they play (clearly based on WOW but to avoid lawsuits i guess) so the humor is understandable to anyone with a hint of online gaming know-how.

The first season was pretty rough around the edges but production values etc seemed to pick up significantly with season 2. Did they get sponsers or something at that point?

Oh, and Felicia Day is effin hot. I discovered her through Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (which I also only watched recently, wow was I behind or what?) but seriously -- a genuine redhead gaming goddess? I cried when I saw that music video for the guild.

Brilliant - Now go and find The Legend of Neil, written and directed by the guy who plays Zaboo on The Guild... VERY rough around the edges, but very very funny and has Felicia Day playing a very horny Fairy!

Go, NOW!


Hugo - go, eat the heart cookie, its delicious. You deserve it for commiting murder

Yea, the musical episode of 'Legend of Neil" will have you in tears of laughter.


I still wonder what dragon style is.

Yes, I've been watching it on Xbox Live. I'm almost done with season 3. It's very good.

The Guild is amusing, but I find The Legend of Neil to be much funnier. And yes, Felicia Day is attractive. More so as she's an admitted geek.

I've been a fan of The Guild since right after Season 1 finished coming out on YouTube.

Currently I'm behind on Season 3, but that's because I decided to wait till it finished out and just haven't gotten back to it yet.

Legend of Neil is also a nice little treat. (Gotta love the Felicia Fairie)

I believe that they got their current sponsorship deal with Microsoft and Sprint at some point in the production of season 2. The part of season 2 that wasn't financed through that was being paid for from season 1 DVD sales.

I'd previously watched The Guild, but I just checked out the Legend of Neil for the first time....it's awesome!

 

[Sephiroth]

gotta check out the halloween episode, freaking awesome

I didn't care for Season 1. It seemed like they dragged out that plotline with Zaboo's mother for way too long. But Season 2 was brilliant, especially the episode where we get the grand tour of Vork's house.

The only character that I think doesn't work is Zaboo. He's too cartoonish and exaggerated amidst a cast of characters that otherwise needs no exaggeration. I recognize pretty much every other member of the Guild. I think I know 5 Claras.

I don't know anyone like Codex but Felicia Day sells the character in a very real way. And she is absolutely adorable. I think she's hot in the way that everyone else thinks that Alyson Hannigan is hot.

the only problem with Felicia Day is that she bursts into flames upon contact with direct sunlight

I just happened to watch my first episode yesterday and I hated it. Afterwards I was shocked to see that the episode was only 5 minutes long because it felt more like 15 minutes the way it was dragging. I dunno, maybe it was a bad episode but I just didn't find anything about it funny.

which episode was it?

 

[Nick Ryder]

I have to admit, lately there are some amazing "geek goddesses" lately. Alison Mack, Kristen Bell, Felicia Day and they're not only pretty damn cute, but the're into like "geeky guy" things. Like WoW, computers, getting excited over upgrades and such.

They make geeks like us feel good in our special places.

i think we watched the latest episode (+10 to bravery)... but to be fair, we only watched 5 of the 7 minutes because it was going on soo long.

i dont get the show. i dont find it very funny. the only thing i do find funny is the character bladezz, because he looks like a guy i work with.

 

[Lindley]

It's not laugh-out-loud funny. It's a bit more subtle than that.

INDEED.

 

[Kelthaz]

I just went through the first two seasons today and yesterday. Pretty awesome show.

 

[Trubinator]

It's an awesome show ... watched all the episodes.

 

[Skywalker]

I love the show, got into it earlier this year when I just randomly discovered the episodes on Xbox Live. I do think some episodes this season have been a little slow, though.
