Actor Jason Mewes (Clerks II) and director Blake Freeman talk about their upcoming videogame movie Noobz in this excellent video. In addition to the movie, the two talk about Gears of War 3, discuss first-person vs. third-person action, send a special message to Epic Games’ Cliff Bleszinski, and go off-topic in a hilariously lewd way. The legendary Casper Van Dien also pops up in the video making it extra awesome. Warning: this interview contains lots of naughty language and dirty references.
Special thanks to Justin Leeper for conducting the interview while I cracked up behind the camera.
Mewes looks like he hasn't stopped using drugs. Who's he think he's kidding?
Did anyone catch Blake's joke where he crossed a Mallrats line with Starship Troopers? That was gold.
Just after the six minute mark Blake Freeman says that he thinks we are way beyond the "gaming is for nerds" mentality. I only wish that were true. While I will easily admit that things are a lot better, there is still a huge stereotype on people who play video games, and more than that people who play more than the yearly sports releases or only CoD.
Other than that disagreement I liked the interview. It's definitely making me want to see the movie once it comes out. The part where he talks about showing gamers as regular people is a refreshing thought in film, to say the least.
Speaking about how nerds and the stereotype has changed, like every other group that has been stereotyped, it only takes one douchebag to set us all back a few years:

I would have lived my life happily if I had never read that. Of course, the comments were freaking hilarious. I kind of feel a little guilty for laughing at some of them.
I think I should compensate for that downer of an article by posting this:

I'm not sure i know the difference between "gamer" and "average 20-35 year old dude"
I just mean to say that i don't believe that im in the minority because i enjoy games
Depends on the city and culture. SF is more of a gaming town than LA. Too many Hollywood wannabes in the City of Angels.
I didn't know who Blake Freeman was but after watching him here I found this movie he has coming out. This guy is funny as hell! Gawd Bless America movie:
