A glimpse at online gaming/youth culture

Here are some links related to "The Guild" web series about gamers online and in real life. These links come from the guild's press section.

There are some interesting insights in the next write-up related to how heros aren't chosen - they choose themselves (what ted.com talk was that?!), and being able to tweak their own lines.

The order that I watched the guild episodes is season 4 and then seasons 1, 2, and 3, in order.

What got me hooked were the two songs, in this order:
  1. Do you want to date my avatar?
  2. Game on!
