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.

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!!!!!

This is a great series. The acting is very impressive and I can't wait for season two. I have not been as addicting to online gaming as the characters but the story line and comedy is very satisfying. The acting is also very awesome. Felica Day does an great job as portraying an addicted gamer with a weird friend that is now living in her home with a crazy mother. The entire cast does a great job and they are all hilarious. I, again, can't wait for season two and I'm sure it will win more awards for the series, including another youtube award (which doesn't seem to be listed on this site :(). But again no complains about anything dealing with this show. So great job everyone working on this show!

Have you ever had one of those moments where you've said to yourself, "I just need to take a step back, rethink my life and make some changes. Maybe unplug for a while, get out and breathe some air that hasn't gone through the processor fan of my computer and enjoy life again"? These people haven't. This video is fun and watching makes me realize that I truly have grown up.Plot: Vork Gives control of the guild funds to Bladezz in hopes that it will make him a stronger player. Bladezz then posts a video blackmailing the other members and steals the money. The series is spent trying to get Bladezz to give back the money. In a secondary plot, Zaboo becomes stalker obsessed with Codex and moves in with her; much to the dismay of Codex and Zaboos' mother. Zaboos mother comes to retrieve him and well
.Don't want to give away too much of the secondary plot.The chemistry between Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh is amazing. Comic timing is dynamic and leaves you wanting more at the end of each episode. Fans wonder how they can get involved in this. SUBSCRIBE!!! Its on Youtube. Watch it, love it, just don't live it!
