Game Boys: The Animated Series Launches February 4, 2013

One of the first reviews we did for this website was a review of “Game Boys”, a film directed by Brad Jones, who is known on the internet as The Cinema Snob.  The movie told the story of Scott, a twenty-something obsessed with all things retro and his retro gaming enthusiast friends.  When Scott suffers a bad breakup, his friends try to cheer him up with a gaming night and try to convince him to ask the cute girl from the video store to be his date.  It was a sweet movie with a good heart we enjoyed a lot here on the site.

A few months ago Jones announced that he was going to follow-up Game Boys with an animated series featuring the voice talent of the cast of the original movie and artwork by noted supervillian Andrew Dickman.

Brad Jones has released the first episode of Game Boys: The Animated Series to his website this weekend.  In this first episode, titled “Poker” we see just how some old school gamers play cards…and paticularly what they bet with.  You can check it out here.

If you’re interested in more, you can watch further episodes as they release, as well as the original live-action movie which it spawned from for free on thecinemasnob.com.
