Exploring the Virtual World

 Over the course of making the film we followed a range of people. From our resident guild, The Ft Wayne Boys, to our virtual couple, Kevin & Heather. We explore virtual world addiction with Dan, gold farming with Frederick, disabled gaming with Andrew, and guild leadership with Dragons. We also ask a number of experts to weigh in on the subject. There are those that worship the games and those that damn them, those that play casually and those who consider the virtual world their permanent residence.

I think it's fairly good. People who are overly sensitive about negative representations of gamers may start getting frustrated--I think the movie is fairly sympathetic to everyone but there are definitely some people whose real stories align somewhat with various stereotypes.

Oh jeez, they interview people from The Syndicate.

I remember those guys - I was in their guild in EQ, until I let my friend play my paladin one night (while his EQ account was banned - bad idea, in hindsight) and apparently he said some shit that got me kicked out. They were annoying anyways, so no worries there.

They would always roll into a zone and be all "LLTS!" in general chat (Long Live The Syndicate).
