Now this is definitely one of the most original and funny music videos I’ve ever seen. Do You Wanna Date My Avatar features the cast of the popular web series, The Guild. The web series is an independent sitcom about a group of online gamers. This web series started in the late summer of 2007.
The first season was financed solely by Paypal donations from loyal fans. Since season 2, the web series has been distributed by Xbox Live and Microsoft and sponsored by Sprint. Episodes of The Guild are between 3 and 8 minutes long. In 2008 The Guild won various awards, including the SXSW, YouTube and Yahoo Web Series Awards.
