The Alloy of Law reviews are pouring in, but sadly the biggest news is the passing of Anne McCaffrey. We have lost one of the greats. Her craft will be continued by the current crop of talented fantasy authors, and you can check out interviews with a few current greats like R.A. Salvatore, Patrick Rothfuss, Lev Grossman, Terry Brooks and Daniel Abraham below. Also, Brandon Sanderson talks about writing the Infinity Blade novella. Cool stuff.

The embargo on Towers of Midnight reviews has expired, and the reviews are pouring in. In addition to the onslaught of ToM reviews, interviews with Brandon Sanderson are popping up like hotcakes. I never really got on the Wheel of Time bandwagon after reading the first book in the series, but I am about 10% through The Way of Kings, so expect a review of Sanderson’s solo work sometime soon. Also check out the interview with Felicia Day, good stuff.

The Guild – Holy Catch Up!

Posted on August 23, 2010 by Jeff Pelletier

“Never say Old Black Ollie didn’t parlay with progress!”

I can’t believe, with how much I love The Guild, that I totally missed the first 5 (well, 6, with the music video) episodes of Season 4. I guess its been a busy 2010 so far. For those of you who don’t know, The Guild is a hilarious web show for nerds everywhere that comments nicely on the recent popularity of MMORPGs like World of Warcraft. You could watch it for that. Or you could just watch it because its hilarious.

Either way, here are the first five episodes of The Guild, Season 4. Do yourself a favor and don’t miss the bonus music video down at the bottom. Rock on, Guildies.

The Guild, Season 4, Episode 1: Epic Guilt

The Guild, Season 4, Episode 2: Strange Allies

The Guild, Season 4, Episode 3: Oversupportive’d

The Guild, Season 4, Episode 4: Moving On

The Guild, Season 4, Episode 5: Loot Envy

The Guild, Season 4, Music Video: Game On
