Ooh I like this new show- oh another bi weekly one, fuck off... ok fine but it better stay this funny.
This really hit home because it reminded me of trying to DM my first DnD session. This is fucking incredible!
Maybe some of us would rather watch a video than read a comic? Just saying, different people, different media preference. I'm not really into comic books that much.Rotting Corpse said:
Personally I loved it, and I don't usually like your typical DnD comedy (wasn't a fan of "I Hit It With My Axe") but this one stood out, I think due to the quick pacing of it. Either way, looking forward to the next episode.
Trust me, there are groups out there. I've DM'd them. Makes your blood boil.Sir John the Net Knight said:
It kid of irks me when stuff like this comes out. P&P RPG's get so little attention as it is, and 90% of the time when it does, gamers are painted as socially inept girl crazy man children. It gets even worse when they misrepresent the game itself by making up their own rules set which enforces these horrible stereotypes (+4 shyness?)
The average D&D player isn't far off from your average video game player, which is to say we come in many shapes and sizes. Even for comedic effect there are many humorous stereotypes of gamers that don't end up being repulsive to humanity the second they leave the table. I'm tired of having to defend myself to anyone who sees my gaming books and only has drivel like this and Stephen Lynch's "it's D&D" to base their opinion of my hobby on.
Are there players like this? Yes but from where I stand it's far from the majority. Things like Dorkness Rising and Something Positive have done a much better job of portraying gamers while still being hilarious without being like this. Honestly this may as well be to the gaming community what blackface is to African-American culture.

No, you are not. You are really not.IAmTheVoid said:
The reason why I love The Gamers so much is because all the guys seem like actual persons, playing an actual game.
Watching this, all I thought was "Why is that ponce wearing this retarded cloak ?" and "Who the f*ck talks like this when gaming ?".
Maybe I´m overthinking it, but it just felt like people without any P&P experience, making fun of what they think people who actually play P&P act like. The "one-of-us" vibe is missing and for me that´s a killer.
