Home WHAAAAAAT?

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!"

Doomtrain

Funny.

SeventhSense

lmao

Pangloss

Man, I hate it when I have to guess.

Yooree

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

Pretty much sums it up right there.

kawitchate

"WHY ARE THESE MINES EVEN HERE!!!" ftw!

MechaMonkey

When the timer reaches 999:

"What happens then?"

"Nothing. You just suck."

This movie must be made.

Trevor McGee

Do people actually play Minesweeper anymore?

CannibalCalvin

It took me a bit to figure out who the yellow guy was. Very clever.

Justin Villasenor

Best. Trailer. Ever.

Tino

Oh wow. I didn't realize who the yellow guy was for about 3-4 hours.

mikeasux

I it;s about that time we kill some movie director, just for the sake, eh?

tkyy

I thought the yellow guy's bald.
Bad casting!

Scrixx

This brings me tears of joy :)

Baron Calico

What if we get an 8?

13thDragon

Dammit, now I feel like playing Minesweeper.

Dadud

Hahaha, "Oh calm down, its never the first one." *Kaboom*

goodgamer77

This is 2.13x funnier if your grandma really did play Minesweeper.

bmdubya

That little trailer right there is like 100X better than any movie Michael Bay tries to pull out of his ass.

Mxyzptlk

Needs a spunky love interest.

s0lesurviv0r

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?

onomelon

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.

Cloudiroth

? Why are they all two-stripe-ers?? Even the commander...

Myrmidon16

lol that was awesome. its already better that ne video game movie

Mack_

man i was way too addicted to minesweeper back in the day...

IAteASeagull

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:

Noctane

So is there really going to be a 90 minute movie?

That would be alsum.

Noctane

nevermind, its not. =(

denilw

The guy's hand are still attached to the shovel after he explodes! Action-packed movie!

ridley80

That was actually exciting.

BlueFalcon

i havent cried this much since Aries died (ffVII)
that was way too funny

BooYaHOTSAUCE

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.

Watch el trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K7wpatALDQ&mode=related&search=

waly666

Dexter345

Husky Hog

Holy fucking shit
