I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I first heard of it when Dr. Horrible came out but held off on it for months because I don't game and I didn't think I'd "get" it if I didn't game. I was wrong. So I got into about when S2 started. Love it. The great thing is that I've gotten my dad into it. My dad barely does Internet well, much less game. But he finds The Guild pretty funny. He's watched Legend of Neil as well but I don't think that one caught fire as much with him.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Legend of Neil definitely has less mainstream appeal, but it's gotten really funny. The second episode of this season is great.

I wonder if it's because Legend of Neil is such a *guy* humor thing? Not that I don't think it's funny...

It does have a lot of that, but it also has a lot more targeted, Zelda-related humor, whereas The Guild is much more about a diverse group of wacky characters that most anyone can relate to even if they don't game. It's more accessible.

I guess so. I've never played Zelda. I wasn't even aware of its existence until Legend of Neil. I'm sure there must be a layer of game humor I'm missing, but there's plenty of stuff that's just funny no matter what your background.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I love The Guild!

The "Game On" video was just released to iTunes today. Already #1 in UK and #3 in US. I'm happy to be able to see it in better rez than on Bing.

Episode 2 played without interruption. Gah, I knew it would go that way but whoa not like that!
