The Guild Audience Reviews

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Wordiezett So much average
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
manny-589-426367 Netflix recommended me to watch this show, and being a lifetime gamer and it had 4 stars, I figured I would give it a shot.Holy hell Netflix, way to let me down.This show is TERRIBLE. I'm not just posting this to be argumentative, but every other review is at 8-10 stars and I felt I had to provide a balancing opinion.Seriously, this type of show is insulting. This just highlights how wrong the public's interpretation of "video game addicts" really is. The behaviours in this show are representative of maybe the 12-year old trolls you'd find on Xbox live, and only the lead girl has personality that is actually plausible. I have been playing games all my life and been on MMOs for the past 6 years and never met people so absolutely incompetent at real life as these caricatures. Real gamers have lives inside and outside the game. They don't talk in 1337speak at the diner table, or bring their own cheese to a restaurant and quote savings as a mathematical advantage, or take off and make absolutely detestable creepy moves on girls they know a screen name for based on an emoticon.If you have any respect for yourself or for the game industry or for people in general, don't watch this terrible mockery of a TV show. This does nothing but poke fun of blatant stereotypes in the most unfunny ways possible, that only a high schooler would find funny.
Lazzarith Self directed, produced, written and even acted by many of the cast, this series of shorts brings life of online role playing games and the culture it carries to light in such a hilarious manner. I couldn't help but laugh at every episode and try to see another guild member of mine in The Guild's characters. I was in stitches from the first episode and couldn't stop watching until the season(s) were over. Fantastic acting with humor that is original. Not just original in the sense of hey they went somewhere else with that... ABSOLUTELY original, like when someone finally invented the wheel. There is nothing like it.If you know of someone, heard of someone, or you are that someone that plays Role Playing Games online, no matter the title of the game, you will see yourself in one of these character, or even a bit of yourself in all of them. I am amazed at how they zoned into the in-game language used and managed to depict life under a headset so well. If you cannot laugh at this series, then I doubt there is anything you would find humorous.Time well spent!!!!!
Strofer Being a gamer myself, I was immediately drawn in to the Guild's little world. The characters reminded me of some of my own online friends. I was impressed by the quality of the acting, all the performers are more than competent and, judging by the 'Gag Reel' they posted, do a fair bit of ad-libbing. Even if you are not a gamer, 'The Guild' is funny for it's portrayal of the inter-personal relationships between people who are only used to talking to faceless colleagues. I was particularly impressed with Felicia Day who plays Codex and her depiction of the archetypal addicted gamer, struggling to cope with everyday life. Her reaction to Zaboo, one of her online friends, suddenly turning up on her doorstep is priceless.
jimmietee This hilarious series addresses the real "lives" people spending large amounts of time with each other but only online.Told in shorts, the series' blazing pace is maintained by Felicia Day's manic character trying to work out problems like her friend's characters dying as she is on the phone with her psychiatrist about her obsessive game playing or finding 'Zaboo', another character in her online guild who she has flirted with in game, suddenly appearing on her doorstep in real life.The episodic format develops the characters as much in sight gags as in dialog. Never having quite enough time to fully explore any of the many nuances of both the characters or situations The Guild still frequently makes you laugh at each.
