Die Hard Gamers

Do you have a hard time unplugging? Online gamers meet in person at the 2008 Fan Faire convention.

FRONTLINE "Digital Nation" is a multiplatform project exploring what it means to be human in a 21st-century digital world. Watch the TV documentary now online at http://www.pbs.org/frontline/digitalnation/

In a unique collaboration with the public that began on the "Digital Nation" Web site, award-winning producer Rachel Dretzin and commentator Douglas Rushkoff probe how digital technology is changing nearly every aspect of modern culture, from the ways we think and learn to the ways in which we socialize, work and even conduct war. Is it possible to multitask well? Is too much digital media bad for young brains? Should we fight wars by remote control? What are the real-world effects of immersion in virtual worlds? Watch online beginning and share your story of life in the digital age at http://www.pbs.org/frontline/digitalnation/ .

@SpaghettiJimmyWINS considering that EverQuest didn't even start until 99, that is kind of a silly statement. EQ is still alive and going strong, in fact they are still making expansions for it, as well as EQ2 which is probably the second most popular MMO around ((or first depending on how you want to look at Blizzards over exagerated WoW figures))
