Modern Day Gamer Documentary
Simon Bysshe writes "I'm a UK film student, and have recently released a freely downloadable video documentary called 'Modern Day Gamer'.

The reality is that such tactics water down the product and drive potential subscriptions and future ad-views away.
The second .torrent from Jamuraa had by far the most sources when I tried it. I downloaded the entire file in WELL UNDER 10 minutes (more like 5). I got an average of average of 1 MEGABIT. I'm still sharing on Jamuraa's .torrent.
