Gamer Chick

This web series, currently in its second season, details the trials and tribulations of Gia, the titular gamer chick. The story opens in game as Nin the Thief is blasted by a spell. The party healer revives her. Moments later, she takes an arrow to the chest. Gia, Nin's player, demands a private conversation with Colin the DM. She asks if he's mad at her. It turns out they are boyfriend and girlfriend. Bad goes worse and they break up then and there. Gia storms out. The other gamers soon follow, preferring Gia to Colin. Sans Colin, gaming resumes the following Saturday.

Unlike The Gamers series where roughly half is in game and half out, this series is mostly out. There is no plot or discernible storyline in game. However, one classic bit was when every monster looked like Colin. A considerable number of episodes concerns Gia's dating life. This is sometimes funny but mostly forced. The slapstick elements are particularly bad.

Of note, I have no idea what game they are playing. There appear to be humans, elves, and fairies. I'm a bit unclear on the classes. Gia plays a thief. Magic Users can cast healing spells. It's all very vague, probably because not a lot of time is spent in game.

It is mildly entertaining and, seeing the higher production values of the second season, it promises to improve. Worth a look.
