Gamers TV Show: So Bad It's Good!
This trailer for a show from www.putgamersontv.com, is ... how do I say it ... good?
The show, which seems to be about the lives of gamers, shows the extreme sides of the gaming community.
Well, not really extreme. But if you live-action role-play (l.a.r.p.), then yeah, you're extreme.
What is larping, you ask?
Well, if you play games such as Dungeons and Dragons, Vampire: The Masquerade and whatever other game there is, you role-play.
But larping takes it beyond the dice. You become the character, dress like them, act in their persona, believe you are them.
Creepy, huh? Yeah well, what can we do.
The show, appears to cover aspects of video gaming and seems to put a funny twist to it. For example, there is a clip where a character looks at his friends and they all have icons which would be seen in a game.
Some sites have given it negative feedback and I don't blame them.
It's a great concept, one that could grab a large audience, but the acting need a thorough cleaning.
Well, not much more can be said.
Just watch the trailer, cringe at the acting, try to make it through without beating on your screen like a chimp and say what I said ...
"Oh my god! I can't turn myself away, it's so horrible, yet intriguing. It's ... it's like watching a car crash about to happen, but you don't want to warn anyone cause you'll spoil the moment."
Ah, I love the Internet.
