The Guild

On occasion in the past, I've been known to play what's called "Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games", MMORPG or MMO's for short. For those of you who don't have a clue what I'm talking about, an MMO is a game you play on your PC where you create a character and then do various quests or jobs in an online world that thousands of other players also inhabit. The most popular of these games is called "World of Warcraft". MMOs have a tendency to be highly addictive and there are more than a few jokes about the people that become obsessed with them and the culture that exists around these games.

That bring us to "The Guild". "The Guild" is a kind of T.V. show that is broadcast on the web. Each episode is usually 5 or 10 minutes (maybe less even) long and it's about a group of people who play an MMO and are all members of a guild called "The Knights of Good". It's a comedy series and pokes fun at all the stereotypes and quirks that tend to be associated with MMO players. It's hilarious.

They've had two seasons so far and the third starts on August 25. If you've ever played an MMO or know anything about them, you owe it to yourself to watch this show. DeAnne and I have cracked up watching it and can't wait for the new episodes. They originally are available for download on Xbox Live, but you can watch the first two seasons on their website or youtube.

Have a good Wednesday.
