The Guild

This weekend the big new World of Warcraft expansion comes out: Cataclysm. I know somebody who is taking time off work next week to play. I am sure he will not be the only one doing this. I am intrigued by World of Warcraft (WoW). I played a fair amount of Starcraft in college and also went through Warcraft III. I enjoy the Warcraft mythology. However, I stay away from MMORPGs like WoW for reasons I discussed in my last post.

Even though I do not play, I have friends and co-workers that do. I also keep track of what is going on with the game in terms of storyline. Plus I'm a geek. All those reasons enable me to appreciate The Guild. It's an on-line show about a guild playing an unspecified MMORPG. The show isn't for everybody, but I think it is hilarious. They produced a couple of music videos to go with the last two seasons:

Game On

Check out The Guild or you can even purchase the DVDs (Seasons 1&2 or 3). Watching The Guild helps me stay strong in my resolve to not play MMORPGs

  1. I am so far behind on watching The Guild. I'm not even a gamer and love it! Have you ever seen the comic, Dork Tower (www.dorktower.com)? If not, you should check it out! I love it!

  2. I haven't watched any of season 4 yet, but I have watched the others. I find the short format somewhat annoying and prefer to wait until they are all put together.

    I hadn't seen Dork Tower. That's pretty funny stuff.
