This landed in my inbox a few days ago from Felicia Day, the cute geekchick who played Vi, one of the other Vampire Slayers, in Buffy. Felicia is a WoW'er, and an actor, and a filmmaker - so she's put together The Guild: Episode One, a made-for-web show about.. well... MMOing.
Check it out, the characterisation is spot on, made me laugh out loud:
I'm really looking forward to seeing where this goes.. nice work, Felicia!
The Guild: Episode One (Thanks Felicia!)

"I can hear them... that's good enough for the blind."
Hilarious.
I know what she's going through, I'm on my 1 month chip for my WoW account and as time passes the physical symptoms of withdrawal have faded but that mental desire is still strong as ever.
That was awesome. It's just out there enough to not offend it's target audience. I eagerly await more.
I am living proof that you can beat the WoW addiction. Played for a year then quit cold turkey 9 or so months ago. Oh and I would totally bang Felicia Day. Inappropriate truth.
I LOL'ed when the RL mom was AFK and docked DKP.
i quit after 1338 hours according to xfire and the sad thing is im not really any happier and now i dont have anything to do :(
Dont let anyone tell you that your not enjoying yourself.
The WoW is pretty addictive, it's true. I play at what I would consider to be healthy levels now, down from wasting most of my days in game. From what I've seen, though, it's not so much the people who spend all day every day playing that should quit (though they totally should if they find the game interfering with real life), but the people who really aren't having fun anymore. That's the biggest sign of a problem, in my opinion, that you hate it yet you can't stop yourself from playing. Of course, sometimes these two overlap in a sad Venn Diagram of MMO addiction.
Also Zabu or however that's supposed to be spelled is delightfully creepy. "I painted these myself. You know, crafting..."
Fantastic stuff. Could become awesome(r) through the passage of time.
Great show Felicia, some good sight gags (baby chewing the adapter, lol) I look forward to episode two.
I loved WOW for a time, but left after I started to feel the grind at about lvl 40. Had some very memorable experiences playing it though and loved my brief 6 months in Azeroth.
Needs a new theme, but other than that it was pretty darn good. I'd watch it.
Yah the theme is pretty tame, but overall it's a great start. *sniff* I miss Buffy */sniff* Oh and the blade guy is inacurate, he should be an overweight 12 year old.
This was great! Looking forward to future episodes.
the guy coming to the door, brings in prespective about the aussy lady going to that guys house.
i like the guy who makes sex comments "oh daddy guild leader so angry" and "your nursing right now, thats freaking hot", Awesome...
This is a great show, wouldn't mind it moving away from WoW influenced ideas in the future, sure it's a good start but it's bound to get dull after a while.
it's good, despite the problems of watching it on YT, (i.e. the inaudible guild daddy, and not being a fan of the the lonelygirl15 'diary' intro),
everything else works, the crazy guild 'family', general ennui and desperate litany of stereotypes,etc. (i get the joke, but ehh... enough).
Well, ok, i liked it despite myself not actually wanting to at the beginning, very you-tube-amaterish to begin with, but it gets going really quickly, the second ep will be absolutely goregous to behold.
when it comes out.
i suppose like melrose place's first episode, getting over the setup means you'll just get the drama from now on, in 2-3 min excerpts. and its something i'd watch just as much as i'd watch RvB, perhaps more so for the wierd factor than the comedy, if the comedy runs dry, goes on holiday, whatever.
there'd be some great material to parody for the rest of the series, i.e. "last time on the guild", "next time", "last week", "that time we hit kara", "the guild is not like TV reality", "just how sexy is DKP?", "remember that time someone's house was on fire during the raid" hijinks, as well as online-gamer lore such as penny arcade, RvB, etc.
in short: potential. lots and lots of phat l3wt and/or potential
Yay Alice!
Ashcraft speaks sooth.
Yay Alice!
my guild had that exact combination of people! the mother with kids, the brash youth, the mature guy, the hot asian... well no hot asian.
anywyas, its bringing back many WoW memories. not just playing the game, but hanging out in vent with my WoW friends.
also the acting and camera work are great in the vid. i suspect this will be an instant hit series.

Awesome. Except everyone should be uglier, even the ugly ones :-)
hahahaha
this is so true
