The Guild: Seasons 1 & 2 on DVD [Impressions]

The cast of The Guild

Chances are, if you’re reading this blog, you have some sort of crush on Felicia Day. And you know what? That’s okay. I’m not judging you. She’s adorable in that quirky-nerdy-girl sort of way, there’s no denying that. In my opinion, her online sit-com, The Guild, is easily the most hilarious show to hit the web since Red Vs. Blue.

Seasons 1 & 2 of The Guild hits shelves September 29th, and Geekadelphia was fortunate enough to receive a copy, courtesy New Video NYC. I suppose the big question is, why buy a web TV series that you can watch for free online? I mean, The Guild in its entirety is available on their official website and on YouTube. This question is what I felt warranted a little write up about this DVD.

Aside from the ability to watch these shows in the comfort of your living room on a large television, which is a definite plus for those of us who don’t want to download episodes off Xbox Live, it’s the special features that make this DVD worth purchasing. Audition footage, interviews with the cast and the crew, and some truly hysterical, swear-loaded gag reels are just the icing on the special-feature cake. There are PDF files of the actual scripts, audio commentaries of Day and the cast… there’s just a wealth of entertainment here, giving you a few more hours of enjoyment out of a web series that only has 3 to 7 minute episodes. And that’s impressive.

On another random note, while looking for images to go along with this post, I stumbled across The Guild’s Flickr page. It’s full of behind the scenes photographs, pictures of the cast cosplayed as their in-game characters, and even some of Bladezz’ “modeling” photography. Way too funny. Have a look.

When the DVD hits shelves, it’ll run you about $20, and preordered off Amazon, $15. Worth the price. Go pick it up.

About Eric: Eric spends most of his time writing, taking pictures, reading, and hanging out with his (somewhat famous) chinchilla Mittens and bunny Rory. He teaches writing and literature at some local Philadelphia colleges and works in publishing. He knows absolutely nothing about sports, and is proud of it.

    Here’s some geeky, unrelated Philadelphia poster http://orkposters.com/philadelphia.html

    I was debating the DVD. I didn’t realize the bonus features were so good. I’ll definitely have to add it to my Amazon.com wish list.

    And yes, even *I* have a crush on Felicia Day.
