Do You Really Know Your Online "Friends"?

If you haven't already seen The Guild, you are a geek of some sort, or believe Felicia Day (a geek in her own right) is cute as a button, please go watch it all right now. They've had two internet TV seasons so far filled with funny writing, snappy editing/camerawork, and a cast perfect for each of their respective roles.

It is about Codex, the guild's healer, and the drama surrounding her online life as it sneaks its way into her real life. The interactions all revolve the guild, a task made easier due to the episode time being so succinct. It abounds with parody as each of the characters' lives reflect an exaggerated portion of not only the players in those types of games but by its nature the audience watching the show. But they're probably just distracted by the thought of pretty women understanding their world.

And once you're done with The Guild, continue to do yourself a favor and watch Felicia's other work in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog with Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, and NPH. It'll blow you away.

I have no clue. I found out about the first season about a year ago, and that second season looks complete. So who knows when the third will be.
