The Deal- If you are sick in bed with the flu, then this wouldn't be the worst way to spend your time. Also, he doesn't really seem all that angry here, it's more like the grouchy video game nerd. There are some interesting set-ups that could have been funny but they let those opportunities go by the wayside. The script could have used some tightening up and the dialog could have used a lot of work.

It's basically patch work AVGN phrases slapped together in a different order. The jokes come at you like a tired pitcher's fastballs, no zip on them whatsoever.

The chemistry would have been far better had they gone that route. The quizzical move to insert some generic sidekick instead of longtime friend Mike Matei is beyond me. Story arcs languish horribly instead of moving from point A to point B. The Bad- This movie is at least 20-30 minutes too long. There are a few genuine laugh-out-loud moments here. Some of the modest effects work well and even when they don't it's funny anyway. The Good- The plot of the movie (as ridiculous as it is) is actually interesting and somewhat intricate.
