Oh god, not Lisa Foiles. I'm tired of her and her vapid and uninspired "commentary" on gaming. I keep praying she'll have some sort of terrible accident that involves the severing of her hands so she can't plague the internet with her witless writing any more...
Welp, consider any interest I had in this project officially gone.

@Erdrick I second that,buddy. I can't stand Lisa Foiles. She represents the empty headed female "gamers" that no one takes seriously because she claims she's play a Mario game before. WOW!
This whole time I assumed Yathzee was referring to the game, not a person.
And since when did Lisa Foiles become a gaming figure of any nature? Last I even heard of her was All That, and she was terrible then. Is she still an airhead with a goofy looking face that can't act for shit? A quick Google search suggests so.
Thankfully I never heard of this project before now, so I had no hopes to be shot down and then trampled repeatedly into the ground by this statement.

Oh god, I think that girl is adorable. I mean, no different than any cute girl in the gaming industry playing the "I'm cute and I play games. Thats special, right?". Then again, I have never once gotten why girls who game are revered so much in gaming culture, its like these women immediately become goddesses the second they spend a sweaty handed 5 hours marathoning CoD. Just seems childish, not unlike Lisa Foiles' writing.
Sign me up if Yahtee's in, though. The man is funnier than a greasy handed child with diarrhea try to turn the knob on the bathroom door.

Wow, I just destroyed the English language. A hangover and morninglust over Lisa Foiles is really a monster of a cocktail.
You guys are so mean, Lisa is a pretty nice girl in real life. You also don't know if Yahtzee will violently murder her in the movie, do you? ;)
@Maurice Don't worry,I'm sure she's a nice person,but how do you feel about girls who claim to know everything about games,but only played CoD?? I would prefer they be completely honest instead of....you know.....lying about it. :T
I have never seen anything of Lisa Foiles since she started writing for Kotaku or whatever and I love me some Yahtzee and indie movies so sign me the fuck up.
And to everyoe's credit Maurice there are a ton of nice people in the world who don't deserve their limelight and a ton of nice people of do and never will get it. Not saying Lisa doesn't deserve her soapbox, I have no opinion, but it doesn't really mean anything if she's nice. In a way that could almost make it worse. Pretty nice girls always getting what they want and attention and all that (no pun intended). XP
But enough negativity. Here's to hoping it's a fun romp and nice a cinematic display of legit gaming and developer culture. We could use more of those.

I really don't know much about this project beyond the video above but I'm getting a really strong "film student film" vibe right now. I know I could easily be getting the wrong impression (and I hope I am), but I'll just have to follow this story more closely in the future to see how things go.
I do likes me some Yahtzee (not "Yathzee") and hope the guy can act. I'm less thrilled with the inclusion of Foiles since her videos on The Escapist have not been my cup of tea - cool as she may be in real life.

@Xzyliac: We intend to provide exactly what you're asking for. I know, because that's the kind of honest film I've been waiting to see too. And I got tired of waiting...
@Pacopaco: Not sure what you mean by "film student film", but I'll tell you what we're going for: a meaningful film about the video game culture that's not about references and pandering, but about the pitfalls of humanity and big ideas. It'll be messy, it'll be fun, and it'll be something no one's expecting.
OneRed: Gamer Girl culture is equally fascinating to me too. Maybe the next movie...

Good on you for attempting to stay away from pop culture references. I suppose what I meant when I wrote "film student film" (which was admittedly a bit vague) was that you seem to have some very lofty goals, some of which will be a challenge to fully attain. Like I mentioned, I've only watched the video above and since I'm not familiar with you and your team and the scope of your filmmaking abilities, I tend to approach projects like these with cautious skepticism.
That said, best of luck to your team with the project and fundraising.

@Pacopaco Much appreciated. I recognize that a Kickstarter video, and the budget, are a poor representation of the final project. Basically calling in every favor I've earned in four year in LA.
Our Director of Photography has worked and dozens of big Hollywood films, our CGI guy did animation for Wall-E, our editors and other post-workers are all multi-award winning talents. And the cast are some of the best and brightest people I know.
But ignoring all else, it's a project we all love and believe in, so I'd rather fall hard and shoot for the stars, rather than aim for less and accomplish it. Thanks for the support and I hope you manage to see the final product in a few months!
