Game Boys: The Animated Series Coming to DVD May 16, 2013

One of my favorite movies released exclusively through the internet was the comedy, Game Boys.  The movie was written and directed by Brad Jones, better known to the internet as The Cinema Snob.  The film was about a bunch of slackers in their mid-twenties who obsessed with playing the classic games from their childhood, no matter how bad.  To cheer up their friend after he suffers a bad breakup, they plan to have a classic gaming party featuring a very controversial game many of us would prefer not to talk about, just to see if it can be beaten.

Recently, Brad has brought back Game Boys as an animated series, which uses many of the voice actors of the original series along with all new animation.  Its a great series for those who wanted to see what all the characters are up to after the events of the movie.  So far we’ve seen how they play poker, talk to their girlfriends, and camp.  Trust me, its nothing like what you’d expect.  All of the original actors reprise their roles, with the exception of Bianca Queen, who sadly couldn’t lend her voice due to issues with distance.

After the release of the third episode, Brad Jones has announced that he plans to release the series in the form of a DVD which he will sell on the site for around $10 US.  There’s currently no ETA on the DVD’s release, but Brad plans to include special features, including Bianca Queen’s original audio for the third episode.  Here’s to hoping he includes the original movie with it.
