1	->''"Kevin, this is Reese. Before you erase the message, just hear me out. I want a truce, okay? You win. We're even. You don't kill any more of my characters, and I'll stop registering you as a sex offender."''
2	-->--'''Reese''', on Kevin's answering machine (in the DVD menu)

4	''Gamers'' is a 2006 mockumentary that follows the lives of five friends (well, four friends [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Reese]]) as they approach the 23rd anniversary of their roleplaying group. The guys are about to break the record for the longest running game of [[BrandX Demons, Nymphs and Dragons]], if their various neuroses and personal issues don't tear the group apart first.

6	The group consists of:
7	* Paul: A telephone relay operator who lives with his parents. Paul is the most concerned with preserving the group's streak and doesn't want anything to get in the way of that.
8	* Gordon: A low-level public television employee who lives with his parents. Gordo is the only one who seems to be trying to improve his life, with mixed results.
9	* Kevin: The GM. A musician (in the loosest sense of the word) who rents a room from his grandparents. Kevin insists on never fraternizing with the players outside the game.
10	* Fernando: Sent to America from Argentina after he embarrassed his family by sucking at "the soccer". Fernando supposedly learned English by playing DND. Lives with his girlfriend but suspects [[spoiler: correctly]] that she is cheating on him. He jerks off horses for a living.
11	* Reese: A late addition to the group who none of the other players much care for. Fills just about every stereotype of the annoying and creepy gamer. Lives in a one bedroom apartment with his mother.

16	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Leave the DVD menu screen on long enough and Reese stops ranting at Kevin and starts ranting at ''the viewer'' for not making a selection.
17	* ButtMonkey: Pretty much the whole group, but especially Reese.
18	* ChekhovsGun: Early in the film Kevin records some songs and asks if the bizarre lyrics are for real. Near the end we learn that [[spoiler: those songs were actually commissioned by Reese to screw with Kevin.]]
