The Guild sells out for Christmas

It was just on Sunday that we first heard about a Guild Christmas special, and now here it is. The Guild gang have decided that the web series thing isn't really happening with the money, so they're taking the advice of commenters and selling out with six different pieces of merchandise, one for each Guild member. They're actually pretty funny, from a Codex "answer Orb" to a talking Tinkerballa doll to a Vork unbreakable bank (unfortunately, all of the items have been recalled for various reasons). There's some cool guest stars in the mix as well -- see if you can spot Heroes' James Kyson Lee (in a Delorean!) and our buddy Alex Albrecht, along with a few other familiar faces.
Good stuff, and man, The Guild crew is getting really good at making some quality video. No word whether these will show up on Xbox Live at all (they're actually out now on YouTube, so this may just be something the guys did for fun, outside of the Microsoft agreement), but you can watch them all right now above. Merry Christmas, guildies! All I really want for Christmas is a Vork unbreakable bank -- in these troubled times, it's really the safest thing to do with your hard earned money.
Like The Guild? We do, too! We've got all the episodes of season 3 posted: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and episode 12 above. We've also chatted with all of the folks at BlizzCon, including Felicia Day, Sandeep Parikh, and Jeff Lewis and Michele Boyd. And as if that wasn't enough Guild, here's the liveblog of their panel, and the guys were nice enough to stop by our meetup as well. Stay tuned for more Guild here on WoW.com!Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Fan stuff, Guilds, Blizzard, Humor

Not to mention the dude from stargate universe

Yup, that's David Blue (Eli on SG:U). I'm also almost 100% sure the mother in the Tinkerballa commercial was the actress who played Daphne in Heroes (Brea Grant).
I'm quite impressed with the guest stars they have here. It's like this was filmed at a sci-fi convention.

So, it turns out if you click "more info" on the YouTube pages, you can get a list of all the actors if you're unsure if the person you thought you saw was the person you saw. The mannequin was Alley Baggett (as the back of the bottle indicated, though I'm pretty sure that 69 Lovers Lane is not her real address) and Kim Evey from Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show was one of the hot moms. There were also a number of minor character actors (Monica May, Kevin Thompson, America Young).
No note on whether or not Felicia Day actually has a giant Codex picture hanging in her kitchen or if that was a stage prop for the Clara Mommy & Me Cookie Jar.

I thought I saw Brian Posehn in the line for the tinkerballa lifesized doll too :)

"But I need money to buy the new Guild graphic novel released by Dark Horse this spring!"
Don't we all, kid, don't we all...

Not funny. Not cute. Just garbage.
I am so unbelievably tired of this contrived elven whore. Someone put it to sleep.

You seem to be a very angry person, you need to calm down.

Scrooge.

Yes, I agree, at some point WoW.com should return to it' militant, anti-fun, serious-business roots like the good all days.
Lighten up.

I laughed heaps! Shame that someone with no sense of humour has to be so rude and offensive.
It's great to see actors from sci-fi series such as heroes and sg:u supporting Felicia.
If you can't appreciate the humour of The Guild, how can you possibly enjoy wow?
Felicia Day Dec 16th 2009 9:43PM
Actually I've never had an elf character :( I have a Dwarf priest and a gnome warlock. But if I do decide to become a whore, I'll be sure to roll one! THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION!!!! :D
XOOX
Felicia

Looking at Maolrubha's previous comments makes me understand this one.
Some people are just unhappy.
snowleopard233 Dec 16th 2009 11:11PM
This whore class you speak of, would their starting zone be in Goldshire per chance?
...because that would explain quite a lot.

@Felicia
Whores are OP, but remain unnerfed... for obvious reasons.

Is this an insider's hint that my long-awaited dream for the Pimp hero class will finally BECOME A REALITY?!

Weapons: staff, cane

Is anyone else surprised that an entry with a comment from Felicia Day - arguably one of the most famous WoW-associated celebrity, and certainly more attractive than Ghostcrawler (no offense, mighty overlord...please don't nerf me) - doesn't have about 1,000 more replies?
I'm very disappointed in the stalkers of our community.
Dreyja Dec 16th 2009 6:45PM
Oh that is all too funny. :) Now... I have to go back and comment on the latest Battlemasters - that last scene makes so much more sense now. ;)
Rin Dec 16th 2009 6:46PM
I laughed so hard at the Bladez blade.
Probably the funniest thing the guild have churned out in a while.
ElSantos Dec 16th 2009 7:22PM
Don't forget Alex Albrecht's cameo in that one!
