    “Game On”
    Boot up, embrace the feeling
    The start button is the portal to your being
    Turn on, it’s a pleasure device
    Game with me, the ultimate spice

    I promise you it won’t ever be dull
    In a world you’re all powerful
    I’ll buff you, don’t be afraid
    It’s Tuesday night, Let’s do this raid!

    Game On! Is it immature?
    Game On! I’m insecure
    Game On! Don’t g-quit on me!
    Game On! We got keyboard chemistry

    (DANCE BREAK)

    I feel so much shame
    I get dissed for saying that I game
    No one understands
    Why I’m living in a fantasy land

    In-game you’ve got cool hair
    Go from slumdog to a millionaire
    Level up, Feel the bliss
    Forward slash, Almost kiss

    Game On! Invite sent!
    Game On! Hop on Vent!
    Game On! Say it proud!
    Game On! Screw the crowd!

    Game On! No one else to please!
    Game On! I’ll press your hot keys!
    Game On! There’s no disgrace.
    Go to hell real life I’ll punch you in the face!

    (FIGHT BREAK)

    Game on! (x8)
    Game On! Steal my breath!
    Game On! No perma-death!
    Game On! Don’t resist!
    Game On! Give that bulb a twist

    Internet sabhi desh ko jodataa hai (The internet connects all nations)
    Frustration nikalanekaa raastaa hai (Provides a outlet for all frustrations)
    ONLINE GAMING may kuchh buraa nahi Hai (Nothing wrong with online gaming)
    Us Vichhar CONTROL-ALT-DELETE” (Control-Alt-Delete that feeling)

    I’ll admit, when we party it sizzles
    Won’t let the spell fizzle
    Grab the reigns, don’t re-roll
    Point and click, take control!

    Game On! No disrespect!
    Game On! We’re not rejects!
    Game On! No remorse!
    This is a feeling you can’t outsource!

    Game On! Invite sent!
    Game On! I’m on Vent!
    Game On! Never g-quit on me!
    Game On! We’ve got keyboard chemistry.
    Game On! Game On! Game On! Game Onnnnnnnnn….

  • Reality Hurts

    WOW, WOW like the guild just keeps getting gayer and gayer. If you are still playing, you are a full blown fudge packer at this point.

  • Contacting Lawyer

    This video is an abomination to the Hindu Religion. What’s next having Jesus dance around on a Cross???

    Time for some lawsuits!!!!!!

    • GoodTree

      It’s been done. And it was funny. South park for example. Why we call it a “spoof”, no disrespect intended – Get a sense of humor, you’ll live longer. Less wrinkles when you age too.
      New vid is creative and awesome. IMO.

      –Goodtree aka “full blown fudge packer”, apparently.

    • o´rly?

      i see a troll, no seriously you have to come down, also there are videos where Jesus dance around on the street

      and do you thing the guild or there crew did not chek up this abomination to the Hindu Religion thing before?

      also great video like the sound and the great dance skils

      and if i had made any mistakes in my writing i must say it is not my first language

    • Smash

      No you dumbass its a parody of Bollywood, its not even talking about Hinduism.

    • Lawyered

      What exactly would you sue for? The First Amendment protects speech (including videos, songs, etc.) and is extremely strong in court. The only thing you could sue for under this context would be copyright/trademark infringement, which is clearly irrelevant here unless you own/patented the Hindu religion, and even then you are allowed to parody and be free from suit (ala Weird Al, South Park). Soooo, looks like you’re out of luck, friend.

      PS – love the video and The Guild!

    • PaulaG

      I’m sorry…I failed to notice ANY reference to Hinduism in this video. Don’t confuse a music style with an entire religion. And maybe cool off the knee-jerk reflex

      • Musereader

        Hindu references – I thought Vork was supposed to be Kali (multiple arms) and Tink was Shiva. But anyway, Jesus Dancing on the Cross to “Always look on the Bright Side of Life” Monty Python – The Life of Brian

  • http://nicolekandah.blogspot.com/ Nicole

    Tink looks stunning painted in gold. Great video. Spot on.

  • Natasha

    I LOVED THIS VIDEO! Though is this video in place of an episode this week?
    Oh and Bladezz’s head floating and belting out the song is SO Bollywood!
    Great job everyone!

  • http://limitbreakradio.com Viki

    I love it! Can’t stop playing it on loop…

    But my question is…why are they wearing shoes on the bed?! haha

    The more i see it the more hooked i am. The rhythm is infectious and the choreography is very energetic, special props to Amy for dancing so awesomely.

    Never would I have thought “Hmmm… Guild + Bollywood = COOLNESS!!!”

    Which, um, is why I’m me and not Felicia. Or Sandeep. So, just call me “je”… or “n”… just call me “n”

    And I won’t even be a delicious breakfast cereal…

    I’m just going to drown myself… like a dog…

  • http://Shaman.Botanicals.org Mahoney

    Sandeep is my hero! Go with your bad self Zaboo! Ms.Day you are brilliant.

  • Jeremy Cole

    I thought this one was just as funny as do you wanna date my avatar, and I thought the video was almost as good, but do you wanna date my avatar is so catchy.

    • http://www.bing.com/ King

      Begun, the great ientrent education has.

  • http://joey1058.wordpress.com Joey1058

    Okay, I’m here because I heard Leo Laporte play this on Net @ Night. Goofy song, but the music and rhythm just ROCKS!

  • Thairone

    I can’t count the number of times I’ve already watched this. A-FRICKIN-MAZING! I can’t wait until the mp3 is available for download so I can play this as in-between music at karaoke ^_^

    • slye

      Yea I know each time I watch it it gets better and better

    • r!kki

      Game On.. and Avatar. are these guys making billions yet? both of those songs are just so *^%***& awesome! so is the crew and Felicia! They should do music and have the guild moved in to a half hour sitcom on a major network, not fox(will get cancelled before it begins, like all the awesome shows on it). I read her, Felicia’ voice is untouched in this song, if so wow.

      • Anthony

        I completely agree! ESPECIALLY THE PART ABOUT NOT PUTTING IT ON FOX!!! I hate Fox soooooo much. They canceled Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and countless other awesome shows. Not to mention they canceled Family Guy! TWICE!!!
        Rupert Murdoc is one of the most widely hated “media bigshots” in the industry. For those of you who don’t know who he is: he owns Fox and therefor is responsible for the shows that are canceled.

      • Z3Lut

        I agree that they should most definitely be making more money, but I’m not so sure about signing with a major network. There is a high chance that the network will want to impose its views on the show and therefore alter it, ruining the originality and charm it already has. Too much risk, they should keep it as it is and hopefully make more money as they continue there work :)

        • roonicorn

          +1 for truth

          • Elizabeth

            COMPLETELY AGREE! Keep it online, but I’m DYING for longer episodes!

      • http://lostagain.nl Thomas Wrobel

        No, let the Guild grow online. It deserves more then network television, it deserves to be a beacon for completely independent quality entertainment – entertainment where the creators are fully in control, and where writers don’t have to fight just to get 1% of the profits.

  • Alexis

    I really don’t know how I feel about seeing Tink smile…it kinda freaks me out.

    • Caliea

      I’m with you on that one, Alexis. When I first saw Tink, my thought was ‘she looks odd…’ and then I realized it was because she was smiling. It kinda freaked me out.

  • Mark

    So, am I the only person who thinks Vork’s entrance was beyond perfect?

    • Lisa

      It was pretty epic wasn’t it?

    • Raistlan

      I agree, Vork’s entrance was simply boss. He looked like something out of the Matrix and Blade combined. Cool, savvy and just plain killer. This video was just awesome, it is as good in a total spectrum as the predecessor video Date my Avatar, even though both are obviously so different, both was incredibly enjoyable. Onward with season 4 and keep them video’s flippin’ like flapjacks!! GAME ON!

    • Violet

      I definitely agree. Codex aside, Vork is my favorite, and I just lol’d when he came out as well as stared in awe at his epicness.

    • Daver

      Vork is just plain awesome!! and I have to agree, enterence – perfect.

      • Chris

        Yeah, Vork is a legend. Epic entrance. Man, I’m gonna look like him when I’m older.

  • Djin

    Thank goodness they were using auto-tuner. If it wasn’t for that they would sound horrible. And yes, you can easily tell it was an enhanced version of their voice. :(

    • Chris

      There was one part where it sounded pretty obvious that Zaboo’s voice was being auto-tuned, but I’m not sure if it was like that the whole way through. After Dr Horrible, I think it’s quite possible that Codex/Felicia wasn’t auto-tuned, though.

      • Greg

        Auto-tune of one degree or another is pretty much a standard on all music videos and music cd’s. Some need it more than others. Some just need it over some rough spots. Let’s quit being auto-tune critics and just enjoy the video for what it is…FUN.

        • Tom

          In the interview with the producers they mention Felicia’s voice was untouched.

    • Assilem

      Chillax fools. It’s not the opera it’s a song about gaming. Totally awesome!!! Vork’s entrance WAS epic and Felicia is just the shit in everything. Zaboo!!! I love it!

    • Charles

      Here ya go, voice expert. A live recording of Felicia Day singing Date My Avatar “unplugged”. If after that you still can’t stop flapping your virtual lips to nitpick, stick both thumbs in your mouth, go sit in the corner and let the rest of us enjoy these vids for the fun they’re supposed to be. Cheers.

  • Blackie

    Ah yes the ultimate moral of Slumdog Millionaire and Bend it Like Beckham. There ain’t no problem ya can’t solve through a Bollywood dance scene.

  • hilaryhearts

    I never in a million years thought my loves for WoW, bellydancing, The Guild, Benny Lava, Indian song/dance, and Bollywood cinema would all come together like this.

    I love you Internet. <3

    -Hils

  • Ryukz

    I was all like: Where the hell is Vork then BAM *mind blows*.

  • Tommygun

    Pure genius. The Devine Ms. Day can sure rock a sari, and Sandeep is geeksexyhot in silk!

  • Jarred Alabran

    Glorious simply glorious, thank you.

  • Me

    bladezz is the hottest person ive ever seen in my life.

  • http://lost--in--transition.blogspot.com Merin

    HAHAHA! That was fantastic! Absolut-ly hilarious.
    Codex, you should consider bollywood at some point. :D

  • Chuckcheek

    Haha, Vjork had the best entrance by far. The most epic idea in history right there :>

  • http://yetismilk.blogspot.com/ meg

    God this is so fucking win.

  • Tim

    Great Tink’, perhaps not enough Clara, definitely not enough Codex singing, perfect Vork, not enough Bladezz (Bladezz is hawt), but way, way too much Zaboo O.O I know it fits the indian music though.

    All in all, really liked the clip. I think it was pretty well-balanced — just that I’m really peculiar! ;D

    • Kim

      There is no such thing as too much Zaboo.
      I agree though, in that there should have been a bit more Clara at least, if not the others.
      Still, it was amazing, and I loved it more than Avatar, which wasn’t bad.

  • Andrew

    gay mon? i don’t think so. not into this indian bollywood crap

    • Charles

      Haters will be haters. Can’t please everyone. Yadda yadda. Blah blah. If I don’t like something, I stop watching it, and I certainly wouldn’t bother to post about how I don’t like it. Guess I’m weird like that.

      I think the video was pretty kickass. Felicia and Amy looked delicious, and sounded great, touched or not… I’d like to touch them in other ways myself, hehe.

    Felicia Day is pretty as usual and the singing style was stunning!
    Really liked it that Sandeep Parikh was singing. I love the Guild and you guys. One of my dreams is to hang out with you guys or watch you guys make episodes.

    Best Wishes,
    Antheus :P

  • FrothyChimp

    I just want to know who did the choreography. It’s not listed on the credits but whoever it was did a great job. The series is great in its own right but the addition of some holiday specials coupled with music videos and its a Smörgåsbord of entertainment. It becomes the complete package!

    • Charles

      If I were to venture a guess, I’d say Amy’s dancing background may have played a part. She might not have choreographed the whole thing, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she contributed.

    • http://twitter.com/wrenaria Wrenaria

      Straight from Kim Evey:
      “Chantal Robson who also choreographed “Date My Avatar” and is really good friends with Felicia and Maurissa Tancharoen did the choreography. There is so much? great stuff, some of which we didn’t use here. We’ll try to release a separate dance video so you can see all the moves.”

  • courtland

    Well since it’s not up on here yet Im just gonna post it on the most recent vid. Episode 3 was great! was staying up for it to come on the website and then i remembered i have xbox live and could go on and hope it was there.. and it was! I’m starting to wonder really how the whole like fawkes/codex affairness is gonna end up. ‘nother guild LAN off? Or possibly a Zaboo and fawkes duel…and oh jeez i’m rambling..anyway, i’ll probably comment on the actual video when it comes up too.(lack of a life gives me the luxury of doing so)

  • Sonia

    This was freaking awesome. Love the Zaboo vs. Real Life homage to Kung Fu movies. This will be bought for my iPod a.s.a.p., can’t wait to show to my boyfriend tonight

  • davide

    That was really funny aahah specially when Vork came in! Some of his moves are from the Wii dance video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_drrgyeA5U

    Only true nerds can recognize them ehehe

  • Matthew

    That was awesome. I laughed when the thugs began dancing.

    On first viewing I didn’t like this at all. But I support The Guild and bought it on iTunes and have watched it maybe 10 times now and LOVE IT. It is so well done and each viewing brings something new I haven’t noticed before. I think the editing in ‘Avatar’ still holds up but this is a wonderful new offering. You guys are so talented and creative. When do we get the music MP3 version??

  • Arian

    I love how Zaboo paid dancers for a whole hour just to convince Codex to play ^_^
