Those of you who, like me, don’t have an Xbox can now watch season 4 of Felicia Day’s online comedy, The Guild, at MSN, where its first episode (embedded above) posted today. Those of you who (also like me) are not gamers, and who think a comedy about gaming is not for you, should reconsider and watch the series from the beginning. (The episodes are three to eight minutes, so we’re not talking a major commitment.)
While the show is set in a group of online gamers—and the references to rituals like “in-game holidays” funny even to non-gamers—it’s above all about a community of misfits and unlike individuals bonding together (and not) and finding meaning in their passion. The stuff, in other words, of many great sitcoms.
If you’re already a Guild fan, be sure to catch Maureen Ryan’s interview with Day at her blog The Watcher. Onward, Knights of Good!
