"It’s a bit of a death knell to call something funny and touching, so I won’t, though it is."
—Tromanale Film Festival
"...the filmmaker treats his eccentric subjects with the respect they've so longed for and deserve. Gamers should delight in all the positive attention, especially if it gets any of them laid,
while curious on-lookers may just find
themselves being seduced
by the 'dark' side... "

"Gaming does not make people who they are, it reveals who they are...I think this point is strongly made...this film is a brilliantly honest documentary that is well edited and well paced."

"Whatever you might think about the gamers and their world, they're clearly having more fun than most of us and Über Goober captures that. Steve Metze has made a thoroughly entertaining feature-length documentary film about gamers, their world, and those who fear them. Gamers can be easy targets for derision or mockery, but Metze balances their flaws with their essential humor and humanity. I recommend the film, especially to anyone who is a gamer or who knows gamers."

"I'm glad this film got made and I'm glad I got to see it."
—Steve Jackson, Steve Jackson Games
"...a celebration of the life and lifestyles surrounding gaming and gamers. It is a loving tribute to geeks and outsiders..."
—Lodger, filethirteen.com
"...a very funny and poignant look at the gaming community. It puts a very human face on the label of gamer..."
—Lone Star Historical Miniatures group
"...the gamers featured in the film represent a broad cross-section of society: male, female, young, old, tall, short, all shapes and nationalities, all quite articulate and intelligent."
—Aeon, RPG.net
