GWC Podcast #182: The Guild, Part II

Season three of The Guild premiered this week, and Sandeep Parikh, Jeff Lewis, Vincent Caso, and Felicia Day drop by to ratchet up everyone’s enjoyment even another notch! Long-time Guild fan Veronica Belmont joins us, too, to contribute her WoW experience and general awesomeness. Highlights: we hear about Sandeep’s gymnastics background and experience cartwheeling into a super-pro stunt woman, learn the backstory of Legend of Neil and barfing fairy-dust, marvel at how Jeff Lewis spits out all that detailed dialog, discover that being Vork pays off in free stuff at Blizzcon (and likely PAX) but not so much at LA restaurants, speculate with Lewis on Vork’s backstory, commiserate about being called “the worst tank ever,” uncover some awesomely-funny improvisational moments in The Guild, laugh it up with Vince Caso about his “owned by” photo shoot, theorize with Caso about how long Bladezz has played and what he did after destroying Tink’s character in season two, talk female geek role-models and creating one’s own job in LA with Felicia Day (and learn a lot about “the web video way”), develop massive respect for producer Kim Evey who takes a bite of found-object soup containing Legos and a mousetrap, enjoy the story of how the Guild cast traveled from hotel to Comic Con in costume (via a very unique ride), and get schooled by Belmont on guild politics, crafting, and character creation in WoW. Don’t forget to check out The Guild at www.watchtheguild.com, Legend of Neil at www.legendofneil.com, Parikh’s and others’ stand up and improv at effinfunny.com, Belmont’s sci-fi/fantasy book club and podcast at www.swordandlaser.com (and her other cool projects at Revision3 and the Playstation Network) — as well as the very bright future careers of all these wonderful, talented people. Up next week: Dr. Horrible!

Sandeep Parikh, Jeff Lewis, Vincent Caso, and Felicia Day drop by to ratchet up everyone’s enjoyment even another notch!

Oh HELL yeah! w00t!

GWC Crew FTW. :cool:

Friday night is when they make it happen,
Friday night they put all other things aside.
Give in this time and show GWC some affection,
We’re going to enjoy those pleasures from last night.

I’m so excited,
And I just can’t hide it,
I’m about to lose control
And I think I like it - IYKWIM :wink:
I’m so excited,
And I just can’t hide it,
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know I want The Guild, want The Guild. :smiley:

Edit:FRAK ME!!! STARGATE ARC STARGATE ARC STARGATE ARC STARGATE ARC STARGATE ARC STARGATE ARC STARGATE ARC!!!
I lub me some Stargate. Can’t wait.

OMG… Jeff Lewis is hilarious…

Awesome-opossum!!!

After you’ve teased us on twitter, my guess was very close.:slight_smile:

Only more guests than Felicia.:smiley:

This sounds like it’s going to be fabulous, our household is looking forward to listening! :slight_smile: great job, chuseandra!

The stuntwoman Sandeep was talking about is Luci Romberg, who was on Ninja Warrior (She’s the only woman to ever complete the jumping spider).

Regarding EVE on macs.

Do note that MacPro computers allow changing graphics cards

Dunno if that helps.

Now, bcause of the GWC curse, Zaboo, Vork, Bladezz, and/or Codex will die this season right? I wonder what they’ll drop.

Link us to Bladezz’s photos on flicker please?!! I’m not interested because he said they were sexual, but they gotta be funny.

Hey, I liked C&C Music Factory!

I’m surprised no one asked Felicia Day about the line, “I used to be a violin prodigy. Now, I’m old.” I would have wanted to her about how she felt working that into the show.

Felicia Day hasn’t listen to the podcast yet. ^^

The Learning Curve everyone is talking about…

Any chance you guys could tell us what portion of Stargate you’ll be covering in the arc? With 15 seasons and 3 movies, I doubt you’ll be covering the entire franchise in just a few weeks.

Wow! I listened to this podcast today on the road driving my son to his first year of college! What an awesome cast! Ever single interview (have you ever had five in one cast before?) was great! I especially loved Sandeep throwing Felicia under the bus a bit (with good humor) regarding her potty mouth, and Felicia’s answer to Audra’s question about the street stew (a mousetrap?).

Great job, all around, everybody, and you got it out early on Saturday to boot! Thanks very much! Can’t wait for Dr. Horrible next week!

Is The Guild Season 3 Ep. 1 currently available for people who aren’t on XBox Gold (or whatever it is?) I can’t find it.

No, not until September 1. After that, it’ll be simultaneous releases weekly at all venues (their site, Xbox, MSN video, etc.)

Okay, listening to Sean and Jeff Lewis geek out over Fable put tears of joy in my eyes.

Kudos and many, many props, GWC Crue, for landing these interviews! I was amazed at how friendly and forthcoming, and completely enthusiastic these folks were. I’m beginning to see a trend here, in fact. Guests really seem to enjoy themselves while talking to you, and it shows.

I twittered this earlier, but I can totally see Jeff Lewis in Chuck and Audra’s living room next year playing Werewolf at the Meetup.

Werewolf? As in Whitewolf? wishes he could play

Something I forgot to mention earlier, Vincent Caso has more cool in his left pinkie than I have in my entire body. And, curse him for having such a great voice at 17. I mean what the heck, man?

Wow, what a fun podcast. Everybody was so funny. You guys rock. All those interviews !! Wow, it was sooo much fun. Thank you.

Fantastic show with all the interviews and I had to laugh tears many times.

My only criticism was that they declared The Guild Season 3 Episode 1 as released and not a spoiler, although only the XBox Gold were able to watch it, and discussed some things of this new episode.

Looking around on WatchTheGuild’s Flickr page, found some good stuff:

Tank and Spank

They have some of the Bladezz modeling shots, but I’m not sure if they were the ones used in the show or not.

Look at them all here:

Saddest part of the whole podcast: hearing Felicia mention her boyfriend. Yeah, I know, like it matters in reality. Of course she has a significant other. It would be silly to think otherwise. But for whatever reason, I simply didn’t want to hear it.

Fenatic, thanks for the link. And, dang he looks young in those pictures.

To Pete from PA, lalala lalala. I can’t hear you! (:

Yeah, I think there was a collective groan from GWC males across the world as we listened to that part. But, after all the entertainment she’s provided us, we should be happy for her. Makes you have to wonder about him though don’t it?
