This small documentary was recently featured on Massively. In which it caused loads of outrage. The main argument being that the documentary was unfair and biased.
Truthfully, after watching it twice, I can't really find any kind of bias from the filmmaker at all. He approached the subject with an open mind, he interviewed people for and against video gaming, and came to his own conclusions. Well many gamers might not like what he personally discovered, but none of us can say that he had a well established agenda to get to that conclusion. The journey for this filmmaker was that it gave him the opportunity to meet and chat with other people. The game turned out to be a means to find new outlets to socialize outside the game. And I have to admit he did find a really interesting bunch of people to interview. Along with a talent to discover the prettiest girl gamers at Blizzcon.
This was a great film on the subject. I just don't understand the outrage against it.
On a completely random note: I didn't know they had a bar at Blizzcon. So cool. To be able to mix two addictions at once!
