things what cannot be unseen

Guys, The Guild is TERRIBLE. I just tried to watch it on Netflix with cell23, and man I've never cringed so much in 45 minutes before now and I think I need a double shot of vodka to deal with that mess. Seriously, any liking/respect for Felicia Day I had going from Dr. Horrible has been thoroughly canceled out in the space of an hour. "Date my avatar" was cute, but everything else out of this project makes me twitch on some visceral "what is wrong with you people" level.

Yeah, I'm done.

I've never seen it, but George thinks it's funny. What made it cringe-worthy?

You spend the entire time alternating between being completely horrified and embarrassed for all of the characters and wanting to push them out the window for being spineless and/or irritating.

do i even know you? I LOVE the Guild. It is all the right levels of awkward and weird.

But, if it doesn't float your boat, try Legend of Neil to see if that will bring you back to some Felicia love.

Nope, can't do awkward to the point of humiliating, and all of the characters are jackasses. Honestly I was done pretty much after it became painfully clear that Codex wasn't going to bitch slap Zaboo into next week with a restraining order tattooed on his ass. Seeing as I know he survives until season 4? No. Just, no.

There was not a single person in that show that I didn't want to beat with a steel pipe.

It was the BLURST.

It's got that great cultural self-loathing feeling I get from Big Bang Theory or reading most webcomics about gaming.

I'm using the word "great" in the above comment in massive sarcasm quotes.

Ok, so I wasn't the only one looking at that ish sideways while everyone else was raving about it.

[anagramofbrat.livejournal.com]

It did have one or two moments but overall it was just horrid.

[oneforellis.livejournal.com]

Yep, and then Felicia's character sleeps with Wil Wheaton's character and a thousand geek angels got their wings. I just stood up and left the internet at that point, it's a thing, it can be done.

[cell23.livejournal.com]

Once, I knew not of which you spake regarding the Wheaton disdain. Now... now I know.

[anagramofbrat.livejournal.com]

yeah... Considering his participation in this and the big bang theory I'm seriously questioning his status as nerd messiah.

Hey, hey I love the big bang theory.

[anagramofbrat.livejournal.com]

ehhh, all the bits of it that I've seen made me wince in the same ways.

You are not alone. Seriously. I watched all of S1 and some of S2 and my embarrassment squick is just ON FIRE.
