Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



If you've seen one video game movie, you've seen them all, right? Yeah, I get where you're coming from. All of them, from Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within to the mess that was the Mortal Kombats were total disasters (except maybe Silent Hill, send hate mail to dalenorth@dontcare.com), always missing the mark and leaving us disappointed. 

There is still hope. One more golden franchise of gaming remains, but it's not what you're thinking. It's not a first-person shooter, and it's definitely not The Sims (kill me now) - it's a bit more casual than that. Grandmas, soccer moms, and bored office workers rejoice: Minesweeper: The Movie is coming. 

The brilliant minds at College Humor bring us the trailer to the movie based on the classic Microsoft Windows timewaster. This is certain to be the first video game blockbuster.

Commander: "Why are you here soldier?"

Officer: "I'm here because I'm bored!"

-"Why are you here soldier?"
="Because I'm bored!"
-"And don't you forget it."

Pretty much sums it up right there.

When the timer reaches 999:

"What happens then?"

"Nothing. You just suck."

This movie must be made.

That convinced me to play ye ole minesweeper for the first time on my computer. I was surprised to find they added sound effects to the game, when the hell did that happen?

Great, now I've got the urge to play Minesweeper. For the first time in 10 years.

On a side note, am I only one who thinks a redone Minesweeper with updated graphics would be great for XBLA? I personally wouldn't mind shelling out $5 for it.

Please note this was not made by any "brilliant minds" at College Humor. They just sponsored it. Elephant Larry, a New York comedy troupe was hired to write and create it on their own. If you like the hilarity of this video, then you'll like more of their work on their OWN website:

Funny... in fact, nearing hilarious.

I'll probably watch that again later today.

Random side note: KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS is a badass gaming movie that should be seen by every living soul on the planet. If a theater near (or far from) you is showing this movie, it's worth going. One of the best things I've seen this summer. Beats the shit out of Transformers or whatever other crap has opened lately.

Trust me... see the thing.
