The Guild

  • Auto-Tune the Guild

    When it came time to do a recap of Season 3, we thought we’d do something new and different. Everyone at The Guild had become big fans of The Gregory Brothers, creators of Auto-Tune the News, and we got to meet them in person at this year’s Streamy Awards where they won three Streamys and rocked the audience with their live performance and Magical Streamys Remix Video (watch it, it’s awesome)  So, we asked if they would lend their talents to our recap (embedded below).

    Please share this with friends! And for more info about The Gregory Brothers, check them out on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.  They also have a debut EP called “Meet the Gregory Brothers” available via their website and iTunes.  And join us in our community forums (or in comments below) to discuss the Season 3 recap.  If you’d like to watch the previous season recaps, you can find them here: Season 1 and Season 2.  And yes, this video is our first official word on the release date for Season 4 – coming July 13th!

    Best recap ever!!! huh…Never thought I would ever type that. Really looking forward to Season Four.

  • LookAtMyHoof

    Just when I was thinking about the Guild, this recap pops up – I think I now know why the auto-tuner was invented.

    Also, does anyone smell a guild merger?

    SEASON 4! SEASON 4! SEASON 4!!!!!! COME ON!!

  • http://website Stephen Petmecky

    OMG-Zilla !!!!1oneone
    Auto-Tune Recap = Winsauce
    I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation of this video montage. I felt it was very well produced and exceedingly humorous.
    Thank you
    —————————————————-
    now… about Season 4, kgo!

  • Patrick

    Amazing

  • rook

    There is no other more horrible suspense in life right now!!! C’mon Season 4! ={

  • Corey

    Man, I hope not. The Knights of Good are just fine as is. No need to add douchebags that even TINK finds offensive, lol

  • Nora

    If it’s Will Wheaton joining, I think it would give a good twist to it. I mean, more drama then there already is? ;D
    Anyways, we need to see more of him.

  • RandomKaos

    This was the most epic recap I ever seen
    So catchy, also the theme song in the background sounds so good!!!

  • Eric

    Very nice recap of season 3!

  • http://www.haescashstring.com haeclark

    Nice! S4 comes out the day after my B-Day…kinda like a present from the Guild! =)

  • http://paperorplastic.comicgenesis.com Astragali

    Agreed… and there’s no way that Fawkes would want to be subordinate to Vork!

  • kathy

    Its Summer time for season 4 ahhh
    The recap was absolutly awsome!

  • necessary_illusions

    Can’t rush a good thing. Let them make it nice and kickass. =)

  • Nick Dietz

    So I was thoroughly impressed with the recap, the only thing that I felt that was missing from it was a space Biden.
    ): come on guys, how could you forget about the space Biden.

    NEED SEASON 4!

    I love the guild so much..

  • http://grimlyenthusiastic.wordpress.com/ LB

    Haha, pretty cool.

    The parts with “bitch stare” and Codex’s victory totally reminded me of Glad0s from Portal.

  • http://davehz.deviantart.com/ DaveHz

    This is amazing, greatest pair up ever.
    Can’t wait for season foooouuur

  • HellsDescendant

    Noooooo Auto-tune The Guild isn’t working anymore!! I’ve seen it like 5 times and wanted to see it more!! 8( >.<

  • D.Irick

    Wait, wait… wait! Get the vid. back up, pleaes?!

  • http://flamedog.net flamedog

    get the vid back up and how much long till season 4
    hopefuly i can wait :(

  • http://blog.majugi.com Matt

    The video still exists, you just need to search for it on MSN video. Here’s a link that might work:

    http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-ca&vid=e691669b-6d84-47f0-9eee-bfeb3b0879bc

    Also, Gregory Brothers plus Guild?

    [Squee squee squee!!! -ed]

  • http://blog.majugi.com Matt

    Um, okay, that link doesn’t work. Here’s another one, if it doesn’t work then just try searching.

    http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=ed36f5e6-10be-4663-8eda-82f9610b7a41

  • http://blog.majugi.com Matt

    Oy, where’s an edit button when you need one. I think that second link works, for those of you searching for the video, but I just wanted to mention that in my first post there was supposed to be lots of excited squealing after the last question. It seems that things within angle brackets get stripped from this comment thread. Live and learn, I guess.

    Alright, love the show, going to go back to studying, sorry for all the posts.

  • http://www.watchtheguild.com BrianK

    OK, sorry for the disappearance of the video… seems as if it was a problem w/the Microsoft link. New MSN video has been embedded. Thanks for your patience!

  • CJ

    Happy 4th season is coming, but if I hear another song, voice, etc with that horrid effect…

    honestly its unlistenable

    Yey Season 4
    BOO Recap “song”

  • Skladzien

    Wondering if there wil be any season 4… However i am curious about the “bed story” of Codex and Leader of Chaos :)

  • reddragon72

    At the very end of the video it said that season 4 premier was on July 13th. Did none of you see that? Someone find the vid again look at the very very very end and you’ll see it. I’m also thinking that may be the reason the vid was removed.

  • Fadiekay

    OMG! I need more of The Guild! I need more of the amazing Flecity Day! I think she should be in EVERYTHING!!! Love her, love this, love everything (except Will Wheaton, having debilitating Wesley Crusher flash backs, although he may be making a name for himself palying a ass on this and Big Bang Theory).

  • Rawr

    That was like… the coolest video ever xD! I can’t wait to start watching the new season :D

  • desibee

    i wish you guys could commission an auto-tuned recap of the first 2 seasons! that would be totes awesome!

    and i can’t wait for season 4! soooo excited!

  • blixathecat

    Excellent recap. Awaiting season four. I’m sitting on the couch, in front of the TV, waiting, waiting, …

  • Lana

    What the… I guess that kind of thing just doesn’t work for people who are not into electronica music. It seems that all the filler episodes between seasons have been very cheesy.
    My interest in them has been low to moderate.
    I hope there’s no cheese in season 4. =\

    Does anyone know where the guild is filmed. e.g – what area? city? town? state?

    omg…this show is AMAZING!!!
    can’t wait til season 4!!! you guys are the best!!!

  • Uzetaab

    agreed. I was hoping for another music video between seasons.

  • http://www.facebook.com/ultramarine217 Flashbang

    Felicia, the fact that your voice in conjunction with autotune sounds like GlaDOS…

    It’s made me love you even more.<3

  • Walter

    It’s shot somewhere in L.A, where all the actors live. Several of the webcams, for example, are in Felicia Day’s or Kim Evey’s house.

  • drumstyx

    holy crap that was awesome!

  • AyriannahOllivandra

    Oh, not “right now”. But 2 hours later, the suspense only gets worse…of course, most people didn’t just drink a mountain dew at 1:30 am…It’s going to be released sometime today…eventually…soon, I hope…it would be rather annoying if it was released while I slept…

  • CTM

    AWESOME, BRILLIANT RECAP… who needs mainstream when entertainment like this is on the web.

    Lyrics for those interested (couldn’t hear one part)

    It’s time for us to get together
    Have a fire-side chat and finally remember
    All the drama that the Guild’s been through
    With Codex, Vork, Tink, Bladezz, Clara, and Zaboo

    They was gettin’ down nerd-style in the parking lot
    New expansion comin’ out, Zaboo was feelin’ hot
    [CODEX] Excuse me, you’re cutting!
    [FAWKES] Thanks for holding our spot.
    [CODEX] Excu-excu-excu-excuse me!
    [FAWKES] Thanks for holding our spot-spot.
    The Axis of Anarchy pulled some bogus moves
    [MANAGER] Back of the line. Your friends too.
    This was the last straw that pushed Vork to desparation
    [VORK] I hereby tender my resignation
    (PWNED)

    Codex got elected as the new Queen Bee
    But Tink’s going back to hang with the Axis peeps
    (Oh!) Then real-life started an enemy
    [RILEY] Do you want the game or me?
    [CLARA] How can we work through this?
    [WIGGLY] Cutting back on your game.
    But she’d go insane
    Then Codex chatted Axis to see where Tink had gone
    [TINK] I’m through with you guys, I’m with this guild now. Move on.
    (PWNED)

    They need a new blood but they’d only find jerks ’til
    [CLARA] Meet your new Guildie!
    Wiggly went to work
    He was a noob but the (couldn’t hear this part)
    [CLARA] If we don’t play together, then I don’t play at all.
    Over at Zaboo’s, there was tension in the air
    [RILEY] In case you didn’t get it, this: bitch stare.
    And if her attitude wasn’t enough
    [RILEY] He forgot to make me breakfast, so I knocked him out and tied him up
    (PWNED)

    Bladezz’s life was turning into a twisted movie
    [ZABOO] Someone planted something into his locker. He could go to juvy.
    Then things went straight from bad to worse
    [BRUISER] I just banged your mom.
    It was getting perversed
    And they finally figured out why they kept getting creamed
    [CODEX] Wiggly, you’ve been spying us for the other team!
    Then Codex learned the hard way that it ain’t easy
    [CODEX] You are no longer a Knight of Good.
    [WIGGLY] Clara and I are leaving!
    (PWNED)

    Bladezz ran off, the Guild was flirting with Hell
    [CODEX] They’ve done it. They’ve destroyed us. We’ve got nothing left.
    Having nothing left meant nothing to lose
    [ZABOO] Sorry, Fabric Boy. We’re coming for you.
    Vork’s soul-searching was finally through
    [VORK] I know why I’m in fact a great leader.
    [CODEX] ‘Cause people hate you?
    Meanwhile, the Axis went to seal the Guildies’ fates
    Time for a last stance
    [VORK] Two armies face-to-face!

    But how were they gonna defeat the Axis
    When everyone had quit the Guild forever?
    [ZABOO] All right. I’ll help you.
    [CLARA] Okay.
    [VORK] Let’s do this.
    I guess it’s easy to get these addicts together
    [CODEX] If our guild wins, you guys have to leave us alone.
    [FAWKES] And when we win?
    [VORK] The Guild will cease operations.
    Oh, snap! Game on!
    [VORK] Oh!
    [KWON] Aish!
    [CLARA] Ohps.
    [VENOM] (screams)
    The battle was ragin’ (whooo)

    It was a brawl but the Knights were left behind
    Just Codex left against two bad guys combined
    She started trippin’ but her avatar told her how to win it
    [CODEX] Just relax and be me for a minute.
    In real life, some reconciliation was due
    [BLADEZZ] Sorry!
    [TINK] Fine! I’m kind of sorry too!
    Tink quit the game and Codex wasted the scum
    (PWNED, PWNED)
    [CODEX] We won! We really won!
    (PWNED)

    Zaboo stood up to that crazy chick
    [RILEY] You’re breaking up with me?!
    And Clara revealed a secret
    [CLARA] That I’m pregnant!
    Codex was fine ’til the Axis leader declared
    [FAWKES] You. Me. Drinks. See you later.
    [CODEX] No.
    Codex would never roll with him
    And that’s where you’d think a happy story might end
    But here’s where things really get out of control
    Codex slept with the enemy!
    [CODEX] Uh-oh.

    Stay tuned for season four
    When all the drama unfolds
