If you play MMORPGs and haven't watched
The Guild, you're missing out on a great series of web shorts. Here's the description from their own site:
The Guild is a independent sitcom webisode about a group of online gamers. It is written for gamers, about gamers by a gamer. Episodes vary from 3-6 minutes in length, and follow the Guild members’ lives online and offline.
The characters are hilariously dysfunctional, and most episodes are laugh-out-loud funny. While the show makes fun of gamers, they do so as gamers themselves. Felicia Day, the show's star/writer/producer regularly mentions playing
World of Warcraft, Fallout 3, Rock Band, etc. in her Twitter stream. It's not simply a case of some actor thinking they're so cool by making fun of "those losers who spend all their time on a computer."
Also-and vitally important for the jokes--the lingo is spot on. It means the show is very specialized with a necessarily limited (though quite large) audience. If you don't play MMOs, you simply won't get 80% of the jokes. You won't understand Vork's panic at an unexpected server outage or Clara's remark, "First I had husband aggro, then I had baby DPS!"
They're up to episode 8 (of around 12 or 13) of season 2. You can watch it on XBox LIVE and online, and each episode is around five minutes long. If I had one criticism, it's that the episodes could be longer. I think they could do ten minute episodes without losing the impact of the jokes.
