  • Gabriela

    People, I need subtitles! I know LITTLE LITTLE English and I need it. The actors talking so fast!

  • nick

    still the funniest thing on t’internet by far!!

    Nice start to season 4. Looking forward to the next episode.

  • Kyevonnnnn

    Hahahaa. I love how Zaboo just HAD to press down his TTP key to scream.

  • eyewonder

    Anyone notice that this episode, while still good, seemed to have a layer of cheese on it? If they aren’t careful, this could go the way of the last season of Northern Exposure. These kinds of shows start to creak under their own weight, and characters start to “grow” and “stretch” in ways that lose touch with their original psyche. I hope that doesn’t happen here. The fake passing out scene with Zaboo was dumb. Fun series though.

    • http://www.karmasnag.com Soulfien

      I totally agree with you in everything you said.

    • Gav

      Season 4 and you only just noticed the cheese?

      The show is like a pizza – the cheese lies atop other important layers, like the crust of geeky humor, and the sauce of fun plot lines. Amidst the cheesy goodness we have a fine topping of great characters.

      But the pizza without the cheese? Blech!

      • Megan

        And sometimes, there’s a third, even deeper layer, that’s the same as the top. ;)

        Actually, I thought the episode was hilarious. The Guild has always had some cheese.

        • Lauren

          Like with pie?

          • Annie

            That Dr. Horrible reference made my day :)

          • Simon

            The Guild Series 4 is looking awesome. I watched the trailer for it on Bing.com and it is funny. No chance of the characters losing touch of who they are and as for Zaboo’s fake pass out – I thought it showed him as who is perfectly. The guild ftw

          • Sabrina Beezy

            can we stop talking about food please?

          • swankypants

            Dr. horrible is the greatest thing that has happend to me in awhile. ;D

        • Gennifer

          Or Parfait, everyone loves parfait!

          Me too.

          • Gamer-Girl

          • LOL-Gamer

            Me fourth

      • Bri

        as much as I wish your pizza metaphor made sense, it didn’t. It has never been said that cheesy humor is essential for a webshow. The other problem is that cheesy humor and actual cheese are two completely different things.

    • Dyl

      agree on most things you’ve said but i see it as them starting some new possible plot lines like the custom guild hall,Zaboos mom calling and Codex’s computer breaking

      • Powerboy

        I think it’s good the way the recap was integrated into the new plot lines rather than doing a exposition (“last season on the guild …”). This show cracks me up!

      • ebosack

        The scene with Zaboo covering up the phone was golden. Love this series.

    • q12345q6789

      This show won’t be in Northern Exposure final season territory until it replaces Felicia Day with some half-a** approximation of Codex and Zork and Tink start dating for no apparent reason.

      • q12345q6789

        Replace “Zork” with “Vork” of course. Resume.

      • Meh

        haha fail but its nice to see you corrected it

        • derp

          derp derp

      • Powerboy

        or like the last season of x-files when mulder quit and it became melrose place with a cast of thousands. such a huge disappointment.

        • Heather

          Word.

    • PeteHSL

      I disagree that passing out scene was perfectly in character…specially the eye roll

    • Riverswebb7

      I care not for your comments!!! I think the first episode is frickin hilarious!!!!! :) You gotta remember that the whole thing was about Codex not having any confidence and the others with all their strange little idiosyncrasies. She’s just coming out of her shell in her dysfunctional little way and Zaboo well he was always a dweebey little weirdo stalker dude!!!! So the fainting thing makes perfect sense! Especially with his mom calling and all – he was overwrought!

      • swankypants

        good post! you summed it up perfectly! kudos to you!!

    • CL

      I liked it. the fake passing out was just as funny cuz Zaboo himself is a stupid kinda funny. i think its also funny how people over analyze everything from shows, games, and other people. :P I wish i cared that much about random stuff.

    • ConstantReader

      Loved Zaboo wrapping his phone in tin foil to disrupt the signal instead of just not answering. Classic – can’t wait for the rest of the series.

    • Bri

      the most entertaining actor is zaboo and the funniest part of this episode was his mom calling him.

    • Austin Covello

      I don’t have a problem with cheese. I have a problem with cheese-gouging! XD

    • Tim

      …THE GUILD is the most heartfelt and funniest show I have ever had the pleasure of seeing…
      …THANK YOU…everyone involved with this show, Thank You for THE GUILD…
      …Stay true to yourselves and the show and don’t listen to what folks “liked” or “did not like”…you know what you’re doing…just keep on doing it…

    • Crystal

      I thought zaboo was funny >.<

    • shawtthunder

      I think you should stop talking now this show gets better with ever episode and Zaboo fainting had me rolling with laughter!!!

  • Lautaro

      • Arili

        Dude, if you can’t use proper grammar and punctuation, maybe you’d better refrain from being a jerk to someone who was being courteous by posting in English (with a capital ‘E’ ;) ) on an American Website.

  • Cody

    Yes! Finally Season 4! I have waited too long for this, love this Episode, You guys are getting better and better with each season! Looking forward to more Episodes, and i will C you guys at the Comi-Con!

  • http://www.watchtheguild.com Kiki

    Love the new episode!!! Laughed my head off at Zaboo! Please come out with more….SOON!!!

  • G-Max

    (1) What’s this talk about sabotage? It’s not all that rare for a computer’s power supply to spontaneously burst into flames.

    (2) This is the last episode of The Guild that I will ever watch. I was hoping that the last ten seconds of Season 3 were just a nightmare that Codex had… but no, Felicia went George Lucas on us and destroyed the character that she had created for herself. This is almost as bad as when Red and Blue stopped fighting each other and left Blood Gulch in “Red vs. Blue: the Blood Gulch Chronicles”

    • JBiese

      I agree. And I really liked this show too. Damn.

      • dertorpo

        dude chillax. its a webshow

    • Kyevonnnnn

      Well Felicia Day said she really wanted this is be loosely based on her own life. And that includes having her own character grow to be less dependent and courageous.

    • Justen

      Are you serious? She didn’t destroy her character at all. Did you not see her hidden need for love and acceptance from EVERYONE since episode 1? Lots of people give in to sleeping with people when they finally fulfill that need. That was a perfectly normal situation that I have seen happen to many a people. It just brought parts of her character story to fruition, parts that anyone could see happening since season 1.

      • Skye

        I think you just owned them.

    • Laura

      I must have missed the episode where she took a vow of chastity. Codex deserves some lovins too!

    • Meh

      im sorry G-Max but i found it good oh and its Red Vs blue and it made it better when thay stopped fighting think about it wow some ppl today just dont get the plot to a show

    • CT

      I completely agree with G-Max. I was hoping that the last 10 seconds were some kind of nightmare as well.

      Fawkes is a complete douchebag character who not only was an ass to codex but all her friends and she rewards him by sleeping with him?!

      And I know it’s just a webshow, but being a girl gamer myself I related a lot to felicia (and the entire show) although I don’t have assertive issues like her saying no to having sex with an asshole is not that hard…and dating him!? Come on felicia? wtf.

      It’s just very disappointing.

      • Sifl00

        i think a lot of people missed the fact that fawkes doesn’t think they’re dating. he considered it a one night stand. codex just hasn’t caught on yet. and she did say she normally didn’t drink that much, so it was a drunken mistake. pretty sure there’s lots of that around. i don’t think she variated from character all that much at all.

    • Metiphis

      Oh crap the characters are growing and facing bad life decisions which create more growth and drama! We had all better stop watching!!

      If you want things to stay nice and safe, while watching the premise slowly stagnate under the weight of monotony, go read Garfield.

      • Danigasm

        Lmfao!

        Met, you deserve an award. That was pure win, summed up for simpletons. I applaud you.

        Now, marry me and bare my children?

    • wtf

      why wouldn’t a girl be allowed to sleep with someone of the opposite sex ?

  • Mr Farrell

    SEASON 4!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!11!!

    i just watched seasons 1-3 the past 2 weeks… so im spoiled cause i only had to wait a week for this. oh well… still uber excited!!

  • Crazy Bored Guy

    Vork ftw lol, he makes me laugh after each line

  • Monkika

    G-Max, get over yourself! Guild, you all are doing a great job. I love every episode! Some people just take this stuff too seriously – it’s supposed to be “cheesy”, that’s what makes it so funny and great! After all, they’re making fun of online gaming and I love it! Yes, I’m a gamer, and I love see them make fun of it because yes, it actually hits the nail on the head, in a round about sort of way.

    Keep up the good work!

    • LynnKouji

      EXACTLY! Same here, dood! Oh, man. And, it’s the cheesy accuracy of this show that just makes it THAT MUCH MORE EPIC. Fo’ serious!

      I don’t know what some of these people are talking about… this show so far hasn’t jumped off any foreseeable cliff yet. It’s just getting better and better, so far! The show’s just barely starting to evolve, after all, and we’re finally getting to the “meat” this “pizza” >]!

  • fgdhfghd

    what the fuck monkika? what show were you watching?

  • jacob

    /love codex ;D

  • Penny

    I’m interested to know how much time has passed between this episode and Codex waking up in bed with Fawkes. I mean, /have/ they actually gone on dates or is this just her projecting what she wants? With Codex you never know.

    Hilarious!!! Love it!

  • Rezsia

    Great start to a highly anticipated 4th Season. To those not personally initiated into the deeper realms of MMOGs the humor of Codex vs The Collective’s responses may be fuddling, outstandingly though the episode pulls off the large scale interactive comedy. Keep them coming!

  • Bob

    Ok, that was fricking hilarious. Excellent start to the 4th season. Epic Coconut bra, ROFL. I like the comment about bladezz mom going to the wine country like she is “Fancy”. Achievement unlocked!

  • Delfknight

    Enchant a fish and make a wish the festival of the sea!!!!!!!!

  • http://lmundib@gmail.com Athavel

    GREAT!!!! another season! and yu got such a big crew! I’m dying to see what will come up! Thank you guys!

  • Cosmin

    I tought Season 3 was the last and i was so woried u will never make another season. But there it is, 1st episode of S4, as good as other episodes. Thank you for this, u made my day.

  • nikon

    I agree with G Max. Felicia completely ruined the image she created when she decided to write that she sleeps with the douchebag into the show.

    Respect and admiration for Sid was at an all time high from season 1 – 3 up until the last moments of the finale when she basically told everyone “Yep, I’m just another stupid girl.” If that’s the message that Felicia is trying to push, that the assholes will end up getting the girl and it’s alright to treat women like shit, I no longer want to watch.

    I’m done with The Guild.

    • Arili

      And yet you watched an entire season of Zaboo being just-another-stupid-guy… were they pushing the message then that mean girls get the guy, so it’s okay to treat men like shit?

      Talk about a double standard. Seems to me that you’re being a tad sexist in your feminist fervor. Codex got some. Good for her.

      Btw, it’s a web comedy. If you’re looking for life’s deeper lessons here, I think you might be on the wrong site.

    • wtf

      All these comments are pretty depressing and show lack of touch/misinterpretation of real life -.-
      But what could you hope for from a gaming audience

  • Johnny

    yay! i LOVE you guys (yay felicia!!) YAY!

  • Blake R

    I LOVE The guild! :) I saw that season 4 was out today and it made my year :D

  • Sabrina Beezy

    so whens the next episode going to be out?

  • Gamer-Girl

    I still want to see you guys in game! I know I’m such a geek, but whatevs. I think it would be cool!

  • Krysta

    Gotta say love it! I saw that some others said this episode had a “layer of cheese on it” … hate to tell you but the entire show has tons of cheese … and quite frankly that’s why I love it!! When is episode 2 coming out?

  • rannam

    When will ep.2 air? I feel like I’ve been waiting forever. This is such a good show, I can’t get enough.

  • IceMan360

    check out season 3 recap song it really awesome heres the link

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ahGSPJ5OSI

  • Ninevolt

    I thought it was an okay episode. I’m kinda surprised the majority of the post says its a great start to the season.
    In the entire episode Codex was just not really funny. In fact, I found her to be annoying. The conversation between the guild is great and funny as usual, but I just didn’t care about Codex going all the way with the guy. I’ll have to see the second episode to see if I will continue to watch.

    • Arnietozachoppa

      Oookaayy…. I honestly don’t care if you continue to watch. The guild is a badass and Vork is its badass pimp…love the show, Felicia is hot, Screw you guys, I’m going home ~~~ From colorado.

  • Mary

    I dont think this is gonna be a good and funny season like the others…. I really dont like this first episode! and im kind sad about that, anyway, i am waiting for the second episode!

  • Kyle

    Good start to yet another season! I’m looking forward to seeing how this one plays out.

  • http://idonthaveonelol pat_

    why u make this episodes so shoort :/
    bah, :(

  • Hannah

    I’ve watched this episode about ten times. I love it! But The Guild needs more Wil Wheaton :(
    Can’t wait for episode 2! Is it coming out tonight at midnight? Hopefully? :|

    • FM

      Its not a bad episode…but i do see what the original poster means … they sorta seemed rushed….and a tad cheesier than previous years. I think sometimes when it becomes an institution…they try TOO hard to please and thus get some over acting… still good funny episode tho!

      • Power Boy

        Rushed? Or faster pace? The timing is amazing. I was looking at last season and from Wits End to the finale episode of Season 3 the pace picks up. I think this first episode starts where Season 3 ends, and what a great beginning. Felicia had such a talent for writing. We get a recap, new story lines, Zaboo’s mom returns and a new character all in one episode. Very cool

  • Izztyrr

    Sucked! What happened to that funny show I used to watch about quirky no life gamers?

  • http://jimbasturias.multiply.com jimboyawyan

    i loved the 1st 3 episodes. i mean sometimes i actually cried because of laughing too hard- alone at that. but after watching this one, i find myself actually ‘trying’ to laugh at the supposedly funny scenes. don’t get me wrong, i still love this series but something has definitely changed, there’s just less wit i think. i hope the next episodes are better.

    is this the first season or what???

  • Myles

    This show is a prime example why I love acting

  • Kyx

    ITS SABOTAGE!! Stupid jerk!

  • lulafula

    Does anyone know what they mean by “eeping stroking”?

    • Arili

      It’s “e-peen stroking.” It’s, um… generally self-explanatory. I’m not really sure how to get any further without being vulgar. Anyone else wanna help?

    • Kia

      E-Peen-

      One generally uses this term when referring to an elitists or people that devote alot of time to the game and brag alot about it.

      Similar in terms to stroking ones ego

      “stroking their e-peen” as in, satisfying their need to elevate themselves above other as long as its internet-related.

      e-peen is a deragatory measure of how full someone is of himself over the internet.
      “i hate those elitists stroking their epeen in all that epic gear”

      • LOL-Gamer

        E – Electronic

        So its more like CyberSex

  • Ethereal_fire

    Its never fun when your computer does that :( Mine died that way…

  • Tarku

    I think they started this season off good. I’m personally surprised as to how many people don’t see the possibilities of good story telling here. First of all Codex has been living in a secluded world up to her interactions with her guild members. Fawkes being defeated of course threw chaos into the victory by taking advantage of a girl who was still very new to confidence, and thus still unable to keep it. People let themselves be pushed into dumb situations every day. Without having seen any trailers or anything, I think this could lead to her becoming stronger and getting her guild behind her in obviously not just defeating the Anarchist, but dominating them. Each member of the Guild still has issues that need resolving with the anarchist. This could just be one of Codex’s. Sometimes it doesn’t pay to walk out on the show before the credits have even began. Don’t judge until the story has had a chance to explain itself. Besides for those who still doubt her characters involvement with Fawkes. Her avatar did tell her she was on the brink of insanity. lol.
