Gamertell has posted a review of the DVD release of the 2006 indie film "Gamers." From the review:
"Gamers is a comical mockumetary that chronicles three gamers, a kookie latecomer and their dungeon master as they approach a record-breaking round of the tabletop game Demons, Nymphs and Dragons (aka DND). After 23 years of matches, the group of garage gamers is finally going to break the record for most hours of DND played (74,558) and get their picture gloriously reproduced on the world wide interweb. Ooh, ahh, oh...
While the movie seems like it might be perpetuating negative stereotypes, it delicately dances around overt negativity and instead portrays layers of complexity. And horse spooge. OK, so there are some outrageous moments and ridiculousness, but the filmmakers' loving understanding of gaming and game culture is quite clear. It nicely teeters between an intimate homage to tabletop gamers and therapeutic self-deprecation, coming across as quite a bit more than a movie shot in 6 days. It's easy to see why this won so many independent film awards after its 2006 theatrical release."
