"It’s a bit of a death knell to call something funny and touching, so I won’t, though it is."
—Tromanale Film Festival
"...the filmmaker treats his eccentric subjects with the respect they've so longed for and deserve. Gamers should delight in all the positive attention, especially if it gets any of them laid,
while curious on-lookers may just find
themselves being seduced
by the 'dark' side... "

—Fred Askew, Revolution Sci-Fi
"I'm glad this film got made and I'm glad I got to see it."
—Steve Jackson, Steve Jackson Games
"...a celebration of the life and lifestyles surrounding gaming and gamers. It is a loving tribute to geeks and outsiders..."
—Lodger, filethirteen.com
"...a very funny and poignant look at the gaming community. It puts a very human face on the label of gamer..."
—Lone Star Historical Miniatures group
"The overall tone of the film is of gentle self-mockery. The gamers, game designers and, indeed, the filmmakers all seem to be in on the joke. 'Yes,' they seem to be saying, 'gaming is sort of geeky, but it's also a lot of fun and a good way to socialize.' Indeed, though many of them are wearing capes and ratty t-shirts, the gamers featured in the film represent a broad cross-section of society: male, female, young, old, tall, short, all shapes and nationalities, all quite articulate and intelligent. Gaming may be a dorky, geeky, 'uber goober' kind of hobby, but in that sort of company, maybe that's not such a bad thing."
