I'm working on a documentary that focuses on video game addiction. We're looking for gamers to just tell us what their experience with gaming is and whether they think that video game addiction is a real thing.
We're just looking for short five minute clips here.
Just send your clip to themanwhowins@gmail.com along with the name you wish to be credited with.
Thanks.
Whether it's bogus or not, we want to hear gamers opinions about it.
I think you should definately talk to the world of warcraft and final fantasy online players...those are the ones that sit in front of a computer screen for 48 hours straight and will give up food and sleep because its just too painful to look away.... lol i know im being very sterotypical but its very true

“Second Skin” has the Community in a State of #39;Virtual Denial b.../b
I agree that while Second Skin may not be perfect, it definitely raises some questions that deserve some attention.
After reading about how the filmmakers decided to make a documentary on the subject,(http://bit.ly/14XpgT) and how their opinions of MMO’s and the people who played them changed over time i have to say i’m a bit impressed.
What started out as a warning against this possibly addictive entertainment form turned into an exploration of what these virtual worlds mean to those who inhabit them.
Its about time someone asked the players what they thought about all of this
The problem for me was not the content of the movie - so much as it was the marketing message.
If it had been pushed as a “documentary showing the truth behind MMO addiction and addicts” it would be have been fine.
Instead it was a “documentary about virtual worlds and how they transform the people within them.” The only positive stories had major negative undertones. It wasn’t a virtual world documentary at all - it was a video game addiction documentary. Had it been marketed as such I would not have been surprised by it.
...My Thoughts on bVideo Game Addiction/b
For a limited time, Hulu offered free viewings of the mmo documentary “Second Skin.” In the film, the lives of several people who play mmo’s (massive multiplayer online games) are put on display and documented. The range of folks include a guy who actually checks himself into a woman’s home for people with addictions, a couple about to have a baby, another couple about to be married and living with a couple of other guys, and a couple that met online and decided to move in together.
While I’d like to say the film gave an accurate portrayal of the average “gamer,” I have to actually side with a poor choice of diversity in the selection of folks they decided to document. In truth, the folks that are involved in day-to-day play of these games, as well as your average video game console player, are a much more eclectic group of people. From celebrities to government officials that have “come out of the closet” about their gaming habits, it is a much larger group than the stereotypical middle-to-lower class individual that has social issues and weight problems.
