Documentary about Professional Gaming

Posted by michael on from the listen-to-the-bandwidth-meter-scream dept.

Simon Bysshe writes "My name is Simon Bysshe, I'm 22 & am currently studying film at the Bournemouth Arts Institute in the UK. For the last 3 months I've been working on a unique new freely downloadable film about the advent of professional gaming [there's also a BitTorrent mirror via GameTab]. The main purpose of the documentary 'Modern Day Gamer 2' is to ask whether we will ever see gaming become a mainstream spectator sport. The film features the UK based Four Kings Wolfenstein team as they compete at the Quakecon gaming event in Dallas Texas. The film also features interviews with John Romero, Sujoy Roy (iGamesUK), Paul 'Locki' Wedgwood (Splash Damage) & many other industry/gaming figures. This is the sequel to my original documentary which focused on the growth of gaming as a sociable hobby & received over 50,000 downloads worldwide. Running time: 17minutes 47seconds. Filesize : 157MB. Format: WMV."

    I am seeing a trend here... There are two types of linux people:

    linux users and linux zealots. The linux users are like Windows users, they use it for a purpose and like it that way. The linux zealots on the other hand like linux so much that they feel it is their duty to evangelize in a biblical fashion how linux is good and Windows is EVIL.

    linux zealots are also like vegans. Most vegans I have met are a bunch of skanky hippy/rocker types who feel it is their duty to verbally assault you for getting a cheeseburger at Jack-in-the-box for lunch because you are eating MEAT! (EVIL! EVIL!) They will not stop badgering you for your wicked ways kinda like Jehovah's Witnesses.

    hmm...

    does that mean that linux zealots are Jehovah's Witness vegans? melikes to think so!
