THIS IS GOING TO RUIN GAMING FOREVER! NOOOOOOOOO!

Or that's what I would say if I was a moron. As it stands, this is just going to be a really awful movie. Par for the course for Nickelodeon TV movies.

It's not just a crappy movie, it's a crappy representation of gaming and the kinds of people who classify themselves as gamers. It's not going to ruin gaming, but it does make any proud gamer sad.

@Zacmanman almost any movie with gaming has a pretty bad representation of it, even when they use actual games and consoles

Why does he look 35? Isn't Nickelodeon a children's channel?

@Epoque Nickelodeon recycles actors like crazy... So it's not that big of a surprise to me. Drake & Josh > iCarly > This... They did the same thing with Carly and that other blonde bitch.... She was in the fred movie or something like that.

@Revengez I can out-mature your foul language and feigned ignorance to their full IMDB entries by genuinely having no idea who you're talking about or the programs you mentioned. I do remember Nickelodeon though, I used to watch David the Gnome on that along with that delightful show where Canadians had green slime dumped on them.

Has anyone seen my teeth? I may have left them here somewhere.

Maybe this will end up being like "The Wizard" and Nintendo will debut a new game. Maybe the glove is a new peripheral for a Metroid Prime game.

I'm ashamed to possibly have a better idea of how awful this is going to pan out for all of us. See, there was this time... well, the TV was on and... whatever, I watched an episode or three of iCarly and one was about Spencer (the guy above) getting addicted to some sort of Pacman-like cabinet game. Apparently, he was so good that geeks came to watch him, and the misrepresentation was off-the-charts. It wasn't just "exaggerating a stereotype because we're Disney".. it was extreme.

If you're a sadist, find this episode and rage hard.

Sucks to see an actual gamer, Jerry Trainor, have to work on a movie like this. I used to love watching him on Project Lore before he left it.

The authorities will find out that he is in fact over 35 while she is 14 and will rush in when it's discovered that he was using the contest to "groom" the blonde?

That's what usually happens on playstation home, right?

that or she will annoy him so much via online mic, that he never meets her due to him hitting "mute".

What was the point of this? Did you guys do this for the movie "Gamer" too? It's just a movie. Although I do like the gloves though. I've seen a video of them in action & it looks really cool.

Although I agree with you regarding the pointlessness of this article, not even Gerard Butler managed to save Gamer. Sorry.

You think this is bad? An otherwise good show called Life had an episode where a criminal hid his files on "level 10" of Prince of Persia: Two Thrones. The "last level" is literally just a cutscene from early on in the game.

Seriously.

Kill it! Kill it with fire! Or napalm, or oil barrels, or hook them to a helicopter via grappeling hook and then drag them around an island and crash into a building.

Oh, dear, seems I've been playing too much Just Cause. 2.

No, seriously, this is going to be bad.

Why am I being told this? This is a gaming site, not for SPAWNING WITCHCRAFT!!!!
Seriously, whatever happened to "All That", "Ren and Stimpy" and "Legends of the Hidden Temple" where kids were afraid to be molested by the Temple Guards?
Other than Spongebob(barely), Nickelodeon is SHIT!!!

No, they managed to ruin Spongebob, too. After the movie, the director and most of the writers left.

This movie sounds like a horrible piece of crap.

However.

I have, during my TV browsing, seen an episode or two of iCarly. Frainor is by far the best actor on the show, followed by McCurdy. They're pretty much the only ones that keep the show interesting, and I'd go see this movie if they saved it.

Flame away.

I watch iCarly with my niece... it's surprisingly watchable compared to the other crap out there.

Yeah, I miss old Nick. You know, Catdog, Angry Beavers, Invader Zim, even Spongebob; none of this kiddie sitcom crap they have today. What ever happened to having cartoons on a network about cartoons?

Looks like nickelodeon really understands gaming!
So wait, they're playing an online game on (basically) a Wii with a power glove? Don't they know Wii has "no gaems"?

The most depressing part about this is how seriously most of you seem to be taking this clearly meant-to-be-silly movie as Nick's "interpretation" of gaming.

It's not.

Get over yourselves.

It's just a silly made for TV movie.

Ughhh.
