The award-winning web series starring Felicia Day is back for a fourth season of quirky comedic goodness. Episode 1, entitled Epic Guilt, is available right now for your viewing pleasure via Bing and the Microsoft Network. If you need to do some catching up on the storyline or just wish to refresh your memory of the happenings in the season 3 finale, head on over to The Guild series channel and search for what what you need — it’s all there.
We’ve previously interviewed Felicia Day, most recently at BlizzCon 2009. And of course, she was also kind enough to stop by our BlizzCon reader meetup and say hello to everyone.
Enjoy the show!

The Guild comic: There’s an app for that
by WoW.com on Apr.23, 2010, under app, apple, comic, dark-horse, felicia-day, ipad, iphone, ipod-touch, itunes, jim-rugg, the-guild
If you like The Guild comic book and would like to read it on your Apple device, there is now an app for that. Dark Horse Comics has released an app on iTunes that allows you to read issue #1 electronically for less than a buck. If you prefer your comic books in paper form (or want both), issue #2 is available in stores now. You have your choice of two covers, one drawn by Kristin Donaldson and the other drawn by Matthew Stawicki.
The comic chronicles the origins of The Knights of Good from The Guild web series and is written by Felicia Day herself. The artist is Jim Rugg, who was also one of the artists in the Dr. Horrible comic.
Like The Guild? We do, too! We’ve got all the episodes of season 3 posted: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and the season finale. We’ve also chatted with all of the folks at BlizzCon, including Felicia Day, Sandeep Parikh, and Jeff Lewis and Michele Boyd. And as if that wasn’t enough Guild, here’s the liveblog of their panel, and the guys were nice enough to stop by our meetup as well. Stay tuned for more Guild here on WoW.com!Filed under: News items

by WoW.com on Apr.13, 2010, under felicia-day, guild, microsoft, streaming, the-guild, the-guild-season-4, xbox
Felicia Day tweeted today that The Guild has been picked up by Microsoft for Season 4. She says that she loves working with Xbox/Microsoft and is already beginning preparation. This has been a week of good news for Day and The Guild, as they also won two Streamy awards on Sunday. Sean Becker won Best Directing for a Comedy Web Series and Day won Best Female Actor in a Comedy Web Series.
If you need your fix right now, you can always watch Seasons 1 through 3 online or on DVD, and Felicia Day also writes The Guild comic. After the jump, you can catch an interview with Felicia at this month’s Streamy awards where she talks to former WoW.com producer Barb Dybwad about the upcoming season.

Jace Hall raps in music video ‘I Play W.O.W.”
by WoW.com on Mar.25, 2010, under felicia-day, i-play-w.o.w., i-play-wow, jace-hall, no-belfs-here, rap-video
Jace Hall has managed to level up the genre of Belf Rap videos with his musical creation, I Play W.O.W. (Although, he does admit to playing a blood elf paladin.) The four minute video contains about four dozen common references that all of us WoW fanatics should be able to identify with, right down to no one understanding our MMO obsession. Hopefully not too many of us can empathize with Mr. Hall’s mom, though.
The song is actually incredibly catchy, and I’m almost a little ashamed to admit I’m going to have it stuck in my head for a while. Jace Hall does a great impression of both the stereotypical angry rapper, while still immediately fading into that excited, giddy gamer who’s excited to be around his fellows.
The slight send up of Felicia Day was a little funny, my favorite part was the guy cruising around in the orc mask. This video has certainly made me put Jace Hall on my YouTube subscription.

The Guild comic available for pre-order
by WoW.com on Dec.22, 2009, under comic, cyd, dark-horse, felicia-day, felicia-day-comic, guild, guild-comic, knights-of-good, the-guild, the-guild-comic, wow-comic
The comic adaptation of the popular, award-winning web series The Guild is now available for pre-order from Things From Another World (TFAW). Published by Dark Horse, the comic is written by series creator and actress Felicia Day herself and drawn by indie comic artist Jim Rugg, who drew the Plain Janes graphic novel. The first issue will be available in two variant covers done by Cary Nord and Georges Jeanty.
Readers will learn about the origin of the Knights of Good, as the comic chronicles Cyd’s life before she joins the guild, how she became Codex, and how she meets her fellow guild members. The story includes tidbits not found on the web series, making it a delight for fans and serve well as an introduction for those who have never watched the show. The 32-page comic is scheduled to hit the stands in March 24, 2010, and will sell for $3.50.

The Guild sells out for Christmas
by Alex Ziebart on Dec.16, 2009, under alley-baggett, bladzz, christmas, codex, felicia-day, fun, guest-stars, holiday, holidays, humor, microsoft, presents, sandeep-parikh, santa, stars, the-guild, tinkerballa, video, vork, watch-the-guild, zaboo
It was just on Sunday that we first heard about a Guild Christmas special, and now here it is. The Guild gang have decided that the web series thing isn’t really happening with the money, so they’re taking the advice of commenters and selling out with six different pieces of merchandise, one for each Guild member. They’re actually pretty funny, from a Codex “answer Orb” to a talking Tinkerballa doll to a Vork unbreakable bank (unfortunately, all of the items have been recalled for various reasons). There’s some cool guest stars in the mix as well — see if you can spot Heroes‘ James Kyson Lee (in a Delorean!) and our buddy Alex Albrecht, along with a few other familiar faces.
Good stuff, and man, The Guild crew is getting really good at making some quality video. No word whether these will show up on Xbox Live at all (they’re actually out now on YouTube, so this may just be something the guys did for fun, outside of the Microsoft agreement), but you can watch them all right now above. Merry Christmas, guildies! All I really want for Christmas is a Vork unbreakable bank — in these troubled times, it’s really the safest thing to do with your hard earned money.
Like The Guild? We do, too! We’ve got all the episodes of season 3 posted: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and episode 12 above.

Felicia Day says The Guild comic is coming in Spring 2010
by Alex Ziebart on Dec.15, 2009, under DollHouse, Eliza-Dushku, blizzcon, christmas, comic, dark-horse, dark-horse-comics, episode, felicia-day, fun, jim-rugg, lie-to-me, microsoft, newsarama, sandeep-parikh, the-guild, video-game-awards, web-series, writing
Felicia Day told us back at BlizzCon that she was going to go undercover for a little while as The Guild’s latest season wrapped up, but undercover for this woman seems to mean that she’s only in two TV shows and prepping for a comic book release. She showed up in last night’s Lie to Me episode, singing, and in this interview over at Newsarama from the Video Game Awards with Sandeep Parikh (who himself just showed up in Tiki Bar TV — slightly NSFW, language) she says she’s still working on the unfortunately canceled Dollhouse as well. So that’s where Eliza Dushku got her addiction from.
She also says that the Dark Horse published Guild comic book is due out in spring of next year — Jim Rugg is working on the art right now — and fans of The Guild may even get a little Christmas present from the show and Microsoft. We’ll keep an eye out for that for sure. So even though we’re in between seasons (and we assume that season 4 is upcoming next year, even though we haven’t heard an official announcement on that yet), there’s lots of Guild goodness to go around.

Joystiq talks to Frank Pearce about the past and future of Warcraft
by Alex Ziebart on Dec.10, 2009, under Race-Changes, additional-instances, blizzcon-vegas, capacity, china, faction-changes, felicia-day, frank-pearce, girl, interview, joystiq, netease, server, warcraft, wow-5th-anniversary, wow-com
Our friend Kevin Kelly over at the Joystiq mothership got a chance to talk to Frank Pearce at Blizzard about the Warcraft anniversary, and he did us proud. Not only did Frank Pearce do some nice reminiscing about Blizzard, where they’ve come from, and how the massive World of Warcraft undertaking has changed them as a company (they’ve gone from 500 employees to about 4,000 in just the last five years), but he also touched on some issues we’ve really been wondering about over here at WoW.com as well.
Like, say, the reason we haven’t seen a girl in the ads yet. Pearce says they’re open to it, and he wants some names submitted, so we’ll offer up Felicia Day as a no-brainer, and if you guys have other ideas, share away below. He also talks about server capacity, and says that at nearly every step, Blizzard has been surprised by their success. He attributes race and faction changes to thinking that realms were big enough on day one to bring everybody together who wanted to come together, but they later realized that wasn’t what was happening. He mentions China and NetEase and says they wish the process there was faster. And finally, he talks, surprisingly, about the BlizzCon Vegas that wasn’t, and seems to confirm that Blizzard was considering a Vegas show. Interesting. Where else did they consider holding the convention, we wonder?

The Guild season 3 finale
by Alex Ziebart on Nov.25, 2009, under avatar, blizzcon, codex, dvd, felicia-day, finale, jeff-lewis, michele-boyd, sandeep-parikh, season-finale, show, the-guild, the-guild-season-3, wil-wheaton, xbox-live, zaboo, zune
The Guild has come to the end of season 3, and it’s all come down to this. Codex is facing off what’s left of the Axis of Anarchy, Riley has appeared to ruin Zaboo’s game, and all of the other issues this season come to a head as the showdown reaches its conclusion. And being that this is the season finale, there’s a few surprises in the mix as well, and a shocker of a finish. You can watch the show over on MSN (which is now calling itself Bing), on the Xbox Live and Zune marketplaces, or right after the break below.
The gang has also released the final gag reel of the season, with outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage from the last three episodes. Lots of fun stuff in there as well, though definitely be sure to finish the season first — as you might expect, there’s some spoilers. And I’m sure the gag reels, and lots of other special footage, will end up on the eventual DVD release for this season. We’ll let you know about that, and season four, when we hear about it. Long live the Knights of Good!
Like The Guild? We do, too! We’ve got all the episodes of season 3 posted: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and episode 12 above.
