See how it works when you say absolutely stupid crap and overreact? You look like a fool.

Don't even try, you are trying to speak logic to a Hatsune Miku-obsessed fool. Nothing is going to get in there.

I personally hate disney with a passion and this film will not make them better inmy eyes 

 

 

edit: for info you cannot be a pro player on the pro tour unless you're at least 18 so this movie begin with unrealistic point to begin with (I'll probably watch it anyway and update my thought after)

The premise reminds me of "The World God Only Knows". In that show, a guy who is obsessed with dating simulator games has to go out and charm real girls using skills he has learned from the games.

You need a very high level of self awareness and wit to write that kind of show without insulting the actual "gamers" (or whichever culture you are trying to pander to) though, and I wouldn't be surprised Disney fails.

But who knows? Maybe Disney does a great job representing gaming in a fair way and that gaming is an actual element of the show rather than something they just slap on to pander to gamers.

+1 to reasons why I HATE AMERICA/West.

 

There are reasons that make better sense than a fucking TV show, you fuckwit (Puritanism, False Dichotomies, Self-Internalized Slippery Slopes, Balance Fallacy, Relativism, and quite a bit more that AREN'T A FUCKING TV SHOW). And even if we went there, I'm largely certain that most Americans aren't being the kind of unreasonable shit you are right now.

I know right? And don't worry, Abe has something to say about that, as far as his agenda is concerned.

To be fair, he said it was another reason, not the only reason.

He never bothered even linking to his other reasons, so I wouldn't know.

But he doesn't have to list them. "+1 to reasons" just means "1 more reason", so it is implied that he has more reasons than just 1.

If I say "episode 3 was another bad star wars movie" I don't have to list episode 1 and 2 as well because it is implied.

True, but that doesn't detract from the oversimplicity of his argument.

I know if I were 15 years old I'd be all over this, but these days not so much. How about you?

 

I'm 15 and no that is most definitely not appealing to me.... maybe if i were 10ish, you were way off with that demographic xD

Parents would be all over this. And you don't need a thumb to use a mouse for competitive play.

is forced to attend high school for the first time after a thumb injury sidelines him from the glamorous pro gaming circuit.

THUMB INJURY?!

 

 

Who doesn't love another white-kid-and-his-four-best-friends Disney show? I wonder who'll play the obligatory black friend?

Why the hell would you be side lined for a thumb injury? last time I checked, you dont play e sports with an xbox controller. Besides, its not as if its high impact. realistically, accommodations would be made. Lighter switches, even a splint if need be.

 

disney's lack of knowledge about this is really kind of pathetic.

"Disney is bringing a new live-action comedy series to its kid-focused Disney xD network titled Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything that focuses on a pro gamer leaving the eSports circuit and returning to high school.

 

Cameron Boyce, one of the stars of Disney Channel's Jessie, will play Conor, a 15-year-old "video game phenom" who attends high school "after a thumb injury sidelines him from the glamorous pro gaming circuit," according to a release from Disney. Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything will see Conor use his video gaming skills to overcome real-life, high school-level challenges."

Please no, they will probably just make fun of e-sports.

They'll turn this:
