GOLD - The Web Series That Does Double Damage - Complete Season 1 Special Edition DVD - - Now THAT's a Title. Heck, I almost sprained a finger typing all of that out. Damn, I'd no longer be a contender.
I'm sure most of us have seen The Gamers, a low budget spoof about, what else, gamers and gaming. GOLD- TWSTDDD is a more serious approach of the topic. Or if not more serious, then certainly less campy and with higher production values.
The premise is that gaming is a spectator sport, with teams, training, fans, sponsors - even televised championships. Its every geek gamer's dream, and even the not so geeky.
There are other story lines going on, and in many ways the gaming story line is the background - characters, as in the player's themselves, come before the gaming.
To be honest, I had trouble caring for most of the characters until the second episode, so stick with it. When I finished I was left wanting more, which is always good for a series, and I think this one can do well.
The British accents are poorly done, or greatly done if one is looking for over the top. Still, the series gets it's legs with the arrival of the Brits.
The DVD is well done, but I'm unsure how many will pay for something that is freely available on the web. Still, you can't go wrong by giving the series a peek.
