I was there to, although my contribution wasn't in the final film.
All i have to say on the matter is whats so antisocial about online games? Especially when your using somthing like teamspeak and on community servers (like www.wolfservers.com) where upto 60 people might be online and all talking to each other while playing games over TS. Thats actually quite a social pasttime;)
Watching TV is antisocial and apart from documentries, brain numbing and not at all social. I would rather play a game online, talking to freinds about the game or something than watch eastenders or big brother, two of the most unintelligent, antisocial and damn right stupid contributions on television.
I agree that single player games are antisocial although thats a different discussion. This is about LAN parties and online games which was what was happening when that film was made. The LAN parties I have been to have been the like other parties, beer, food, music but games are played instead of making a fool of yourself as you try and pull a girl while blind drunk:).
Im not sure if the film made 'geeks/nerds' look worse or better but stop whining, your on a site with 'news for nerds. Stuff that matters' in its title.
