Gamer Revolution: 4 Part Look Into Gaming Today

Not only am I on TeamSpeak randomly yelling at guildies or singing along to musicals while I game, but I also like to watch documentaries on my other comp as well (it's called multi-tasking, aka., being a spaz). I watched this while hunting up sexy items for Guy Fawkes' day and was actually pretty good!

Computer games are a global phenomenon and a $25 billion dollar a year industry. Over 800 million people worldwide are regular players. GAMER REVOLUTION, shot in HD, is the first full-length documentary to look past the hype, paranoia, and hoopla to explore the real stories behind the computer game revolution.

You can check out the official CBC-TV blurbage here, and watch it below!

Part 1 Star Craft, crazy, well coiffed professional Korean gamers & their Fan Clubs (complete with cheer readers).
Part 2 FPSs, Army recruitment through games, and why games that promote getting head shots are "evil."
Part 3 A Romanian veterinarian hopeful pays for schooling by power leveling stupid rich people who think games like "City of Heroes" is too hard.
Part 4 Virtual boobies! People who can't sing (and have terrible fashion sense) in the real world make it big in the on line world (after paying $100K for virtual spaceships.)

Fun times!

I'm going to say part 3 was my fave part just because of the intro about the Romanian power leveler. But part 4 has titties.

Mini Warning: Guba may load slow for you but it works fine for me. If you really want to see this just pause Guba, let the movie load up and then watch it.
