Players Of Games
Second Skin is a forthcoming documentary about massively multiplayer on-line role-playing games (MMORPGs) and the people who play them. The film's trailer is available here. According to its promotional materials, Second Skin does include a profile of a gamer with cerebral palsy who is active in the Second Life community. It also profiles gamers who fell in love on-line or struggled with addiction to their hobby. Second Skin looks like a fascinating exploration of the forces at work behind the explosive growth of MMORPGs and I hope it makes its way to Twin Cities theaters. Thanks to BoingBoingTV for the tip.
