I'll be honest. This hurt. Watching this documentary glorified every victory I have ever had. It, sadly, also made me realize the invisible cloak of pride I wear around myself exists only in my mind.
Topics like this could make a killer movie if Hollywood had any balls. A somber take on videogaming. Genius. I do think there's a bit of a weird thrill and emptiness upon crazy gaming conquests as well. Until the next game.
I didn't get to live during the "Age of Arcades", but I did experience them in the end, I got to live through alot of the stuff mentioned in this video and being a late 80s kid(1987) I'm glad I got to experience that early in the 90s because that's when Arcades started to decline exponentially...
Nobody has arcades anymore... I used to love going to the raggedy old movie theater or the local pizza shop to play Street Fighter or Samurai Showdown while we waited for the movie or our food...
This game makes me weep for a time I was born too late to experience. A time of arcades. Instead I started into the world of video games with the SNES. A classic all the same but watching this makes me feel like I missed out.
This video is really well done. I'm gonna tell my friends so they can enjoy it too. Great job. Especially conveying the lonely melancholy of video game high score pursuits and GAME OVER screens.
Wow, I don't know how... Or why... But like.. I just feel this video to be uplifting and enlightening. It has a certain positive energy, that just radiates. It just... It reveals the core of gaming, imo.
I really wish there was some way to acknowledge how great this film is. As I doubt there is, I'll just leave this comment.

Loved the MGS and Musashi references. Great video, it brought out a sense of collective loneliness.

I really liked this film but I thought it could have used a better narrator. The voice is just alittle annoying

I really like what you did there, even if I felt the voice acting could be much better.
The crude 3d gives a very interesting "video game" feel, specially since it clashes with the PS1 MGS on the start of the video.
