After much hype, the veryfirst episodehas launched. Split into nine parts, the full film is two hours long and follows the journey of BrianD, an amateur FPS player who gets invited to the prestigious Video Game High School after taking out the best gamer on the planet during a match. Over the course of the series, we’ll see a bunch of special effects wizardry, a goofy bully who wears paper 3D glasses like Zeke fromZombies Ate My Neighbors, and a hard-ass principal played byEpic Meal Time‘s Harley Morenstein.
One episode in, it’s clear that the story ofVGHSis littered with plenty of the same cliches we’ve seen in Hollywood interpretations of gamer culture. Still, knowing the talent behind the show, I’m sure we’ll be pleasantly surprised as the show progresses.
