Guide de Survie d'un Gamer

The actors lack of power, confidence and spontaneity. The script is dull, the jokes are so flat, they look like being ironed. The only reminder that there was a joke is the rather annoying laugh track. Fortunately, it's not that loud.

On the other hand, it's the first show to my knowledge with a (pro) gaming themed setting. A genre, witch is considered not a sport by many because of lack of interest knowledge and being full of stereotypes. By the way: as a typical Disney show, the cast are all stereotypes: the cool gamer nerd the ugly loser nerd the cool-ugly nerd friend and the fat nerd. Also the theater is heavily exaggerated or simply over-acted.

If a show really wants to end stereotypes about gaming, this show is pointless. Needless to say, the all hack at those controller while gaming like speed would mean they play better. Hello, producers: it's not. Also, it's very American and console centered (thus, console being more common in the US and Japan).

If you need nerdy humor, try the British "IT Crows" (just 4 seasons being made) or for heaven's sake even the well-known "Big Bang Theory". First having kick-ass jokes and the latter having the kick-ass cast and chemistry.

Three stars for trying :D

Another terrible Disney XD sitcom. This show is god awful. The premise is weak and lame. The acting is terribly bad. Nobody on this show can act except Cameron Boyce. The characters are so cliche and generic. The cool leader, the fat kid, the dumb blonde, and the geeky kid. Most of the episodes have nothing to do with gaming. Just random nonsense. I can see why this show was canned quickly after 2 seasons. It didn't know what it wanted to be. This show stinks!

Gamer's Guide To Pretty Much Everything is yet another of those Disney teen comedy shows and this one addresses the audience of millions of kids who choose gaming on line as opposed to socialization in the real world. The stars are Cameron Boyce who is late of the Jessie series, Murray Wyatt Rundus, Felix Avitia, and Sophia Reynolds.

Boyce has been home schooled and so he can travel on the professional computer gaming circuit. That's a concept I find hard to wrap my head around. In any event a thumb injury has forced him on the sidelines so now he's in real high school where he meets other gamers not in the pro ranks as he was. Of course they bond together.

Of the young people I know into gaming and their an older group in their 20s not high school kids they are all male. I've not met a female like Reynolds who is into it. She's a character hard to take because she's a beautiful girl and you would think would have a real social life. In the end when Disney pulls the plug on the show she and Boyce should be together. And he'd be lucky to find a girl as good looking as she is who shares his interest.

I'm sure Gamer's Guide will find its audience.

This is one of the best Disney XD shows of all time. Maybe it could even be better than Lab Rats or Gravity falls. My favorite part was in episode 12 where he says, "It's gamin time!". The second after he said that I instantly came, farted, and burped at the same time. This is truly on of the shows that was on the Disney XD channel. 100/10 I hope that this show gets way more re-runs.

I have to admit that I had a chip on my shoulder about this show. It didn't sound like much to me from the beginning. However, slowly but surely it's getting better.

Without a doubt, if the show did not center around the Cameron Boyce character, it would have failed long ago. Boyce is just loaded with talent and he injects the show with energy. The other characters absorb and play off his enthusiasm and experience. When Boyce gets a chance to dance, he brings the entire episode up a notch.

As the production gets through it's first season, hopefully it will mature and find its way.
