I'm not a gamer, but I am fond of them now...
Edited on Mon Apr-04-05 02:21 AM by fleabert
after seeing this movie...

http://www.ubergoobermovie.com/

I recommend it for gamers, as my gamer friends loved it, and I recommend it for those like me, that don't understand it, but have friends that do. It's a riot.

I will never make fun of a gamer ever again! well, maybe a little fun of the role players, but everyone does... (you'll get it if you see the movie)

on edit: the news links about alamo drafthouse refer to the showing I went to last year, it was a blast.

second edit: it's not about computer gamers, the other kind...the really misunderstood group...

Not watching it right now.

I'm a casual "gamer," but role-players are too funny. They make me laugh every time.

3. Please see the movie!
I am the biggest fan of this movie and wish that more people would see it, it's fantastic!

Check out the review mentioned in the news section, they hit the nail on the head.

LARP'ers are something unto themselves, I had no idea...

5. I haven't seen it.
I'm an old gamer. I used to like Swords Of Chaos and stuff like that. Then they came out with all this newfangled stuff my old 'puter can't handle. I love Age Of Empires though.

6. ah, this movie isn't about computer gamers, more the D&D type...
but you should still see it! My dh was addicted to AoE for awhile, 14hrs straight once...

sounds like you need a new computer!

7. Swords of Chaos was like D & D in a way.
You are right about the 'puter situation. I need a new one desparately. I plan on getting a new one sometime between now and May. I graduate from one course of study in college then and enter computer engineering. I hope to use this one as a learning tool then. It won't be good for much else by then. I do smell a burning odor every now and again since the fan has started making so much noise. I can't buy a new fan because the thing is such an antique (made in '97).
