Chronicling the hilarious on- and offline lives of a group of Internet role-playing gamers, the Knights of Good, The Guild has become a cult hit and is the winner of numerous awards from SXSW, YouTube, Yahoo, and the Streamys. Now Day brings the wit and heart of the show to this three-issue miniseries. In this origin tale of the Knights of Good, we learn about Cyd's life before joining the guild, how she became Codex, and how she began to meet the other players who would eventually become her teammates. This storyline fills in details never before revealed on the web show, making it a delightful new chapter for existing fans as well as a perfect jumping-on point for new fans!

With the passing of a show comes the chance for picking up momentoes. FOX is auctioning off Dollhouse props and costumes. Get dresses and shoes from Echo, Bennett and Adele, a suit from Ballard, Adele's tea set, Topher's sneakers, an all-access pass to the Rayna concert from "Stage Fright"… Lots of great stuff from what has become a truly amazing show.

Finally, we discover what the iPhone was made for: taking Samuel L. Jackson wherever you go.

There have been lots of celebrity apps — Pink, Kevin Smith — but they all shared a similar problem. They talk to you. They tell you just what the celebrity is doing or saying or simply wanting you to know. But with iSamJackson you finally get someone on your side, making you cooler by extension than you ever would be without him.

OK, frankly if this was anyone but Sam Jackson it wouldn't work. But it is, and it does.

The wait is over!

Well, actually for the members of the online megahit show The Guild the wait has just begun, as a huge new development in their lives arrives: the new expansion to their game.

"'The Spires of Dragonore!' New continent, new powers. Most importantly: new character hairstyles!"

But will it distract them from their problems? Last season Bladezz deleted Tinkerballa's character after she manipulated him, Codex got dumped by the hunky stuntman she liked and went to find Zaboo, who had apparently gotten over his crush on her with the help of the mouth of the stuntman's hottie roommate Riley, and Vork is… still Vork. Slaying goblins is starting to look a lot easier than all this real-life crap.

Episode one of the new season is now at MSN Video for your viewing pleasure (XBox Live gold members got it a week ago).  You can see it for free along with behind the scenes stuff, the Comic Con panel, the music video, and the previous episodes. But you really should order the Season One and Season Two DVDs for more stuff, commentaries, and because this sort of thing needs to be supported.

Felicia Day's massive popular, award-winning Internet TV show is gearing up for its 3rd season so now's a great time to go back and watch all the rest of them. Season 2 is out today, and it's even better than the first.

(If you haven't seen the first, go get it. Yes, you can watch them all online for free but the DVD has extras and better quality and buying it means they can afford to make more and I want more so go buy it.)

The life of Codex, the neurotic online gaming addict (played by Felicia Day, a slightly less neurotic, ex-gaming addict) is not getting any easier . Her Guildmate stalker (Sandeep Parikh) is still after her, the stalker's insane mother got Codex evicted, her new neighbor is a stuntman, the other members of her gaming guild are infighting, a server outage threatens their very way of life, and things couldn't possibly get any worse only, of course, they do.

All of the cast are perfect in their roles — boy, do I recognise these people — but Day's brilliant writing and charming acting bring The Guild to life. The episodes are short (to fit under YouTube's 10-minute limit) and loaded with humor, gamer drama and character development.
