Uwe Boll is the guy gamers love to hate. He's become the poster child for everything that's wrong in the relationship between interactive entertainment and cinema. As the frequent director of under-performing movie representations of deeply involving gaming properties, from Alone in the Dark to Resident Evil Blood Rayne, Boll has made legions of enemies upset by his slap-dash treatment of sone of the most popular games in the world. Never mind that most of the digital versions have had nary a plot between them.

Unfortunately, Boll has been typecast by Hollywood bigwigs, and almost every popular game adaptation lands on his agent's desk. Hey, he's a working director; can he say no to a wadge of cash? I think not.

However, he's sick of gamer upstarts vilifying him on the Internet and shouting epithets at him in the street. He's challenged his fiercest opponents to a (physical) knock out match in Vancouver on 23rd September, which will be filmed for his forthcoming project, Postal. There are still a few places left, so if you fancy giving Uwe what-for, find out more about "Raging Boll" and sign up!
