The Guild season 5, episode 8 overrun with geeky cameos
<a data-cke-saved-href='http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/season-5-episode-8-social-traumas/y02ha7t9?src=v5:embed::' href='http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/season-5-episode-8-social-traumas/y02ha7t9?src=v5:embed::' target='_new' title='Season 5 - Episode 8 - Social Traumas'>Video: Season 5 - Episode 8 - Social Traumas</a> While perhaps not technically about World of Warcraft, web series The Guild certainly wears its influences on its sleeve, and if its fifth season is any indication, it's certainly become quite the phenomenon with the historically fickle geek crowd. This week's episode, "Social Traumas," is an event in and of itself, with cameos from a huge number of fan-favorite geek actors and personalities, from a pair of Dolls to a demigod. Check out the episode above, and see how many nerd points you get for recognizing the cameos (which we've conveniently listed for you after the break).
The Guild, season finale: Boss Fight
The Guild ends its first season as all good raids usually end: with a big boss fight. Zaboo's mom appeared in the last seconds of the previous episode, and in this one, the Guild pulls and... well, you'll just have to watch and find out whether it's a wipe or whether the loot drops. I have to say, it is pretty classic -- I officially renounce my complaint before that they've never shown ingame action. Out-of-game action like this is much more fun to watch.Curse also interviewed both Felicia Day and producer Kim Evey about what it's like making the show (it sounds pretty rough, actually -- hopefully Felicia won't get so famous that she doesn't have time to do this any more), and in there they mention also that DVDs of the whole thing are coming soon. So maybe if they put something up for sale, we can make sure that these guys get rewarded for all the great work they do.There's no info yet on Season 2 or when it will come, but considering that this episode is led off with a big reminder that this is an award-winning and viewer-acclaimed series, we're guessing it won't be too long.Like The Guild? We do, too! We've got all the episodes of the first season: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. And don't forget to check out our interview with Felicia Day, The Guild's appearance on Mahalo Daily, their visit to Blizzard, and The Guild's gag reel.
Lost Planet trailer lays on the intrigue
Another webisode for Lost Planet is now available for download on Marketplace. In the trailer it's revealed that Mr. British Accent Guy* is working with a nefarious character. We told you he was evil! The trailer concludes with another snippet that may or may not be part of an ARG (Alternate Reality Game). Some of our readers noticed these little tidbits in earlier webisodes, leading to the website of a construction company. This video contains the words "HINT UPSET EVE." What does it mean? We have no idea. Have any of you made any progress with this viral campaign? For that matter, is anyone even interested? Watch the video after the break.*Not his real name.
Lost Planet webisodes 1 & 2 now on XBLM [update 1]
The Lost Planet viral marketing continues with the introduction of webisode 2. This webisode features a little more character interaction, but the meat of the trailer is clips of the actual gameplay, including the mech that transforms into a snowmobile. We really must commend Capcom on its marketing skillz, because they seem to be working. Starting way back in May with the demo, every little snippet gets us more interested in the game -- let's not forget the Turkey Day multiplayer demo either. Check out webisode 2 after the break.
Video: Lost Planet, the soap opera?
Some may remember the series of "webisodes" that preceded the launch of Capcom's Dead Rising. It looks like someone at Capcom's marketing department liked the idea, as the first webisode of Lost Planet has just hit the web. The short clip introduces some of the characters and gives audiences a rare chance to hear a bad British accent in a videogame. Then again, maybe it's some kind of soap opera cliché and he's only pretending to be British. Whatever the case, the game still looks very nice, and anyone interested should take a look. Watch the video after the break.
The first Spectrobes webisode
IGN's first Spectrobes webisode is here, complete with all sorts of space monster drama. Oh no! A guy with an attitude! A cut-off transmission! A cliffhanger! Whatever will happen to them? Guess we'll just have to wait for the next one ....Check the video out after the jump.
Dead Rising webisodes on XBLM (brains...)
Major Nelson informs the internets that there are now two Dead Rising Webisodes available on Marketplace -- US and Canada only, unfortunately. "What's a Webisode?" you ask. X360F has no idea and is unable to download it right now. So, your mission: download these Webisode thingies and inform the masses of their content. ...Don't just sit there, get to it!
