[RPG-Film] Game of the Year

[Argamae]

Heute auf GROGNARDIA gefunden - GAME OF THE YEAR, ein neuer Film im Stil einer "Mockumentary" über Rollenspieler, ihre Persönlichkeiten, Charaktere und einen Wettbewerb, den sie unbedingt gewinnen wollen. Denn wer das schafft, darf für ein Jahr die Geschicke einer Rollenspielfirma lenken. Angeblich soll GAME OF THE YEAR sehr lebensnah und authentisch wirken, ohne dabei ein Massenpublikum bedienen zu wollen (indem man sich über freakige Gamer lustig macht) oder anbiedernd die Schiene "Gamer sind alles mißverstandene, lustig-kreative Menschen" fährt. Ich bin sehr gespannt.

Hier die Zusammenfassung:
A new reality show, GAME OF THE YEAR, is looking for the greatest warriors of role-play gaming to award the most epic bounty a gamer can imagine, running a game company for an entire year! Only one group in the country can win it all, so when Richard (Damian Samways) and his lifelong friends and fellow gamers decide to heed the call, they agree to have their lives filmed prior to the auditions to better exemplify to the show's producers just how mighty their skills and solidarity truly are. But as the documentary keeps filming, cracks in the group's armor begin to show. Like John's (Dan Probst) fights with his wife over the game. And Kyle's (Alan David) constant hope that his girlfriend never finds out what really happens at his weekly "poker game". And Mark's (Mike Ferraro) shy geekery. And Billy (Derek Simmons)... being Billy. When Richard and Shawn (Christopher Macke) end up at odds over the affections of Jennifer (Meghan Maguire), the sound girl on the documentary, tensions finally snap and the group finds itself battling something more frightening than any tabletop orc or wizard: each other. Can our heroes get it together before the big audition at the local gaming convention, or will they suffer a critical fail that will end their friendships forever?

Allein das Cover der DVD ist... nun ja, ganz großes Kino!
