Strangely enough, I first stumbled upon The Guild through a post on a Corsetry community on livejournal.com.  The post contained a link to the music video Do You Want to Date my Avatar?  Well, after watching the music video I saw the episodes in the sidebar.  It wasn't long before I was hooked.



The Guild follows the real-life exploits of the players behind The Knights of Good, a guild on an unnamed MMORPG, which we can safely assume is very similar to World of Warcraft.  The story mostly centered around Codex, played by Felicia Day, who is the Cleric of the group.  Codex has obvious issues with self-confidence.  There is also, Zaboo, a Hinjew and the sorcerer of the group.  Zaboo could basically be described as your friendly neighborhood stalker (no sarcasm intended), who has a particularly overbearing mother.  Vork is the leader of the guild, an somewhat eccentric, balding recluse.  Tinkerballa, Tink for short, is an archer with an attitude problem.  Bladezz is the resident rogue, well described as being self-serving and implusive.  Clara is a negligent mom to several toddlers.  The only married person of the group, her gaming habits strain her relationship with her exasperated husband.


The episodes usually start with a vlog-like introduction from Codex.  The rest of the footage for each episode is shot with a combination of traditional camerawork and web-cam like segments (that are obviously too good of quality to actually have been webcams).
