It's Official. I'm a Guildie

Darn me for not finding this gem on the internet sooner.

'The Guild' - MSN Video

Guess I'll have fight that stunted gnome warlock Zaboo for the love of fair Codex.

As for Tinkerballa, I'd tap her but don't want nothing else.

Yeah, I've been a fan of the guild since it started last year.
It's silly but good stuff

Is the girl who plays Codex the same person that was the love interest in "Dr Horrible"?

Yeap. Felicia Day, geek goddess.

It's very well-written. Beats "The Big Bang Theory" by a mile at depicting geekcentric humor. The Tinkerballa character is pretty much dead weight (indeed, her "abrasive jerk" trait wouldn't be of any interest to viewers if the character was a guy), but the other personalities usually have interesting stuff to contribute to a given situation.

Wow! That was pretty awsome. Really well done for a web show.

Maybe in a future episode, she'll do something like "online gamer vs. roleplayer ... the date."

My wife is in that episode (Grouping Up), at the party (declining to eat the mace-shaped cookies). She works some of the behind the scenes production on the show, and knows Felicia. It's a fun cast and crew!

REG, if you actually played WoW?

You'd find it hella funnier

Yeah, I still won't go there unless it's FREE-2-PLAY.

However, I am interested in some of the lingo, like "link the loot."

I believe that's actually "Link to the Loot", a reference to the Zelda game, "Link to the Past".

Anyway, just wanted to mention that The Guild is getting a bit of spotlight on the Xbox 360 dashboard. I just caught up watching the episodes...for FREE no less. Free content is a rare thing on the Xbox.

No it actually is link the loot. Once you down a boss, the raid leader shows the rest of the group what items the boss dropped so they can bid on it by "linking" it on guild or raid chat.

Huh. I stand corrected then. Been too far removed from WoW. Playing CoH doesn't help much either, since it's not as lootcentric.

I am not an online roleplayer, but I find myself relating to the characters. Geeks are geeks, I guess.

I also find myself trying to figure out whose character I'm similar in personality. Is that weird?
