If you're familiar with the many flavors of social awkwardness that convention season brings to the fore (and with BlizzCon around the corner, you may be about to experience some of it) then the fourth episode of Season 5 of The Guild is a love letter to you. It has special guest appearances by Brent Spiner and Grant Imahara, plus you'll get to watch people doing all the astonishingly painfully awkward things people do at conventions, like dress up like a pirate and mouth off, try to start a relationship, or wear skimpy Princess Leia outfits.
Seriously, why are you still here? I did tell you Brent Spiner was in this, didn't I?
WIN! I think this is my favorite episode this season and that's not just because I'm nerding-out over Grant Imahara (dreamy) and Brent Spiner (Startrekie and adorable) but all the little nods to our game as well. For instance: the chain-lightning/stats analogy for a failed flirt, the negative responses by overzealous fans to an expansion, the overwhelming threat of The Game getting ruined by some sleazy corporate type... LOVE EET!
Oh and who can't adore the look on Vork's face when he came up with the line, "Fornicate at a later date!"
Now if the creepy-furry turns out to be a certain guild-leader from last season, I may just die of happy. XD
I love the Legend of Neil star's cameo. Pretty cool that he appeared since he co created Legend of Neil with Sandeep, aka the actor who plays Zaboo! The Like-Like in one of the booths was a nice touch as well. :)

Personally I've not been a fan of the sudden crush involved in this series, but this episode really turned me around on it.
Great series as ever. Vork is yet to say a line that doesn't make me laugh.

Surprised Spiner didn't push his little web show as much as he's been spamming twitter about it. XP

Wow, out of all the bad attempts at spamming this blog, this has to be by far the worst.
