Alex is a 35-year old video
game tester for a small company called Brainasium. He and his roommate are evicted after his roommate spent the rent money on "massage therapists" for 6 months. Alex first tries staying at a coworker/friend's house. His friend, Jeff, still lives with his parents but calls them "roommates." During the night, he is masturbating in the bathroom, when Jeffs mother bursts in the bathroom and Alex ejaculates on Jeff's mother. Refusing to stay the rest of the night, Alex leaves and sleeps the rest of the night at his desk at work.In the morning he is woken up by Samantha who is a
project manager brought in fromNew York City to put their current game (Eternal Death Slayer 3) back on schedule. In what is seemingly a routine, Alex ("the champ") is challenged by a young employee, Timmy, to a game of "Frog Bog ". During the challenge Samantha is introduced to and is escorted by J.P., in a tour of the company facility.J.P. is the creator and designer of Eternal Death Slayer 1, 2, and 3, and is generally considered a video game genius since he created EDS1 at the age of 13. He is extremely
nerd y and dresses in all black clothing. Samantha and J.P. enter the break room during Alex's challenge and watch. When done, Alex asks J.P. "How much do the clothes cost inThe Matrix ?". At the end of the day Alex stays at his grandma's house.His grandma, Lilly, has two roommates: Grace and Bea. Grace is blunt and presumptuous (she thinks Alex is gay) and Bea is a spacey woman who carries her medications in a tackle box and arranges her medication in designs. In the morning Alex is woken up by a
grandfather clock well before his normal wake up time. He is offered breakfast but then roped into performing chores before work. After work he introduces his game, Demonik, to Grandma Lilly. She refuses to give up the game controller, so Alex goes over to hismarijuana dealer Dante's house, where he gets weed and a cable box that gets his grandma freecable television . Lilly, Grace, and Bea get addicted to theFood Network andAntiques Roadshow preventing him from doing the extra game testing he needs to do so EDS3 can be back on schedule. To finally have time with the television to finish his work, Alex buys them tickets to Antiques Roadshow.The boss of Brainasium, Mr. Cheezle, tells Samantha to take the team out to eat in celebration of getting EDS3 back on schedule. The restaurant turns out to be for vegans, and after making fun of the waiter, they go out for fast food instead. After dinner, they head to Grandma Lilly's to find Lilly, Grace, and Bea drank Alex's marijuana thinking it was
tea . Disappointed that they have none to smoke, they invite Dante over who invites dozens of other people to join the party. At the party, elderly Grace and Jeff unexpectedly have sex in Grace's bed. The next day at work, J.P. confronts Jeff about being excluded from the party. J.P becomes upset at being mocked by Jeff and the others, and goes to Alex for advice. There, J.P. discovers Demonik and offers to take the game home and review it for Alex.The next day Alex, Jeff, Samantha, and others are shown a demonstration of J.P.'s newest game. It turns out that J.P.
plagiarize d Demonik and showed it to Mr. Cheezle as his own game. Having given J.P. the only copy, Alex has no way to prove the game is his. Grandma Lilly, now an avid player of Demonik, is brought in to face off J.P. head-to-head in Demonik. Defeated, J.P.'s mother is called to pick him up. Demonik is eventually finished, manufactured, and released to the public, while Alex gets the credit. Dante gets Alex a gift, which turns out to be an elephant. Alex then says, "A bag of weed would have been fine."Cast
