Hi. I am the writer, producer, and director of Playing The Game, a smart, sexy new web TV series about young adults and the games they play.
For Season 1, we made 15 bite-sized episodes (about 5 minutes each). You can watch Episodes 1 and 2 now, and a new episode every Monday.
For the best picture, go to Vimeo:

Or, if picture quality is the sort of chrome you can do without, try YouTube:

For a sneak preview of what's coming up in future episodes, check out the official Season 1 geek list:

When was the last time a TV show or movie portrayed gamers as we actually are? (OK, a bit better looking than we actually are, but you get the point.)

If he's telling a terrible story,
He shall die by a death that is gory,
One of the cruelest slaughters
That ever were known in these waters;
And we'll finish his moral affliction
By a very complete malediction,
As a compliment valedictory
If he's telling a terrible story.
Seriously, though, that was truly bizarre but kind of funny. The Wards in Chancery card made me laugh, for some reason. Are G&S big in Canada among gamers? Or is that the joke?

I just thought it would be funny to make some completely misguided games. The source material for the game in Episode 3 is even less suitable!

Nicely produced! The golden-age film buff in me would like a few more close shots to break up the long takes, but that's just me.
I like the guy with glasses, good dead-pan delivery.

It's not just you. We shot the entire season in 5 days, and all the Two Headed Dragon scenes (half an hour of screen time) on a holiday when the store was closed. I hope we'll have a bit more time for close ups in season 2.
Your Archaeology game looks cool. At first, I was going to have them play real games (note to designers: feel free to send me free games in the mail), but it's generally funnier to have them play fake games and complain about how bad they are.

Fair warning -- the beginning of episode 2 will likely be considered NSFW if someone were to see it over your shoulder (but becomes a safe PG in short order).

If by "short order" you mean "about halfway through the episode..." 
Not that they are very long...

We've all been there: the game that never ends. (The episode, however, ends after 4 minutes 41 seconds.)
No camels were harmed in the making of this episode.
I'm also posting some other fun pieces, starting with:

This episode is a bit spicier than the others (not suitable for younger viewers). It includes a special treat for our German viewers!

Those parents remind me of Kelly's parents in the Kelly shoes video.
A spoof of the shoes video would be funny...(I'm gonna get some games! These games rules, these games suck. These games cost $300!! I think you got to many games. etc etc)
Sorry if that's off topic.

Amanda learns how to make the most of her face. No special effects - Nick Smith made all of these faces by himself!

Another "game" episode, in which we learn two valuable lessons: never invite your mother to a gaming session, and "sell your body for drug money" isn't as good a move as it sounds.

Secrets are revealed. Decisions are made. Nothing will ever be the same. (And by the way, what's your favourite game based on an Edgar Allan Poe story?)
