YouTube Goodies: The Guild

I found these videos by way of the CreativeJuices7 D&D PSAs videos. (See my post here about those videos which are totally hilarious.)The premise of these videos is a group of guildies in a nameless MMORPG (which mixes references to a bunch of other MMORPGs). Pysch majors, pull out your DSM-IV, you’ll be able to diagnose tons of personality disorders in these characters.My absolute favorite moments? The abuse that Clara’s kids go through – from losing their nanny (and mom not noticing), to being penned in the kitchen, to chewing on power strips, to being locked in a dog kennel by Tink (and her turning the fan on when the dirty diaper smell gets too strong). It’s sad, but hilarious at the same time.

Keep it up, The Guild! You all are awesome!

    Too funny! Reminds me of my future sis in law. She came to my house one night (after not being able to get a hold of her for two days) bragging about the fact that she had spent 28 straight hours on WoW. She has skipped out on family functions, to hang out with REAL friends, and hasn’t had a real boyfriend (outside of some dude on WoW) in quite some time. I keep telling her to get a life and go outside once in a while and meet real people. The answer I got was similar to the one on the clip. She says,”They are real people. I can hear them on my headset. That’s good enough.” Sad. She even asked for a commode for Christmas two years ago so she wouldn’t have to leave the room to go to the bathroom. Even worse, her guild just broke up a week ago because the guild leaders apparently discovered a world outside, and she spent two days bawling and refusing to leave her room. I like RPGs as much as the next girl, but my life is not ruled by it.
