Second Skin

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

After a hectic day and very little sleep, the Bitmob updates are complete. It is time for me to put my feet up and enjoy a movie (I wish).

I came across this film on Hulu -- it's a documentary about MMO players entitled Second Skin. The description of the movie reads, “A movie about the 50 million gamers who spend most of their time in virtual worlds. Alter Your Ego.” I thought some fellow Bitmobbers would find this to be of interest. As someone who has spent a large chunk of time with World of Warcraft, I can relate to some of the individuals in this documentary.

Well it's getting late, and I need sleep. Enjoy the movie (Hulu says it's only available through today) and thank you to the Bitmob community for your continued support day in and out.

@Lance is it your goal to be the first poster on every Bitmob article? :P

I watched this movie not long ago, and it's pretty good. My favorite parts where the 'geeks in love' parts.

I really liked how this documentary showed positives of the MMORPG, instead of focusing solely on the negatives like most mass media does. The benefits for social development and those with physical disabilities have never really been presented.

I watched this like a week ago. I thought it was kind of lousy. That addict dude from Port Richmond totally lives less that a mile from me!
