This could be our finest hour, my fellow nerds. For so long we have put up with sub-par Hollywood movies masquerading as “nerd friendly,” while also sullying our childhoods. If you were hurt, offended, and annoyed by Michael Bay’s Transformers and the god-awful Dragonball: Evolution, this is for you.
I am a gamer. I play Dungeons and Dragon’s unashamedly. I am a big supporter of the show Tabletop, starring the indomitable Wil Wheaton. But the thing that really got me into games was a little movie called The Gamers: Dorkness Rising. I got it in on Netflix back when I was in college and fell in love. It was a micro-budget, very cheesy, and very heartfelt love letter to gaming. It was about a group of friends that get together weekly and play D&D, and the journeys that not only their characters go through, but the players as well. It’s fun, funny, and sweet.
They’re making a sequel.
I’m calling upon my legions of fans and supporters–all 12 of you!–to say: Make this happen!
