        <![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.watchtheguild.com/">The Guild</a>, the unbelievably good web comedy series about a group of MMORPG gamers, is several episodes into its 4th season.  I just received and devoured the Season 3 DVD and it was one of the most entertaining things I've seen in a long time.  Like any good web series, there are many ways to watch it, but I recommend buying the DVDs for the bonuses.  Until you get to season 4, of course, at which point there won't be enough to sate you.</p>

<p>If you haven't seen it lately, it's time to catch up.  If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to start from the beginning.</p>

<p>Oh, and also:</p>
