Modern Day Gamer Documentary

Posted by simoniker on from the modem-dies-gaming dept.

Simon Bysshe writes "I'm a UK film student, and have recently released a freely downloadable video documentary called 'Modern Day Gamer'. In it, I use interviews from a LAN party I went to in Brighton to try to address the main pre-conceptions people have about gamers, ie: is it really anti-social? is it only for geeks? is it a non-productive use of time?" We've also rustled up a BitTorrent link at Gametab and another BitTorrent link courtesy Jamuraa for this 75mb DivX file.

    Actually it says it's a 75-millibit file... shouldn't take too long to download! :-)

    Snicker all you want, bittorrent kicks the /. effect on its head. I just grabbed the whole file in under 15 minutes, dl rates (on cable modem) peaked around 160kb. It blows my mind how good of an idea Bt is.

    The way bittorrent works, it's usually capped at your upload speed. You probably have a slow uplink.

    This speaks to gaming [mis-]conceptions. Aired last night on the NPR program Sound Print. It's good. Funny too!
