watched the wrathofthe1337king… raised a lot of questions about reality, worlds, fanatacism, extremism, cult-ur, society, the monetary system… values and a whole lot more. I’m left questioning whether or not Athene, his friends (disciples?), family and community are a small representation of a world being pushed to the limit. Is this art? After all, isn’t the authentic purpose of art to have a society question itself? The scenes with shop keepers being asked about the value of items they’re selling really got me thinking. Thanks for the link.

Your article is very misleading. There is only one of them that is a “self proclaimed gaming addict”. Speaking as one of the subjects of this documentary, articles such as yours are nothing more than Hype that fuels the video game blame machine.

Retract it, put out a more accurate description.

Signed,

One of the well adjusted normal gamers covered in the documentary.

Gaming really is another world… it DOES exist in imagination… exactly the debate of our time.

Here’s another movie about a pro-gamer.
His name is Athene. I’m still not 100% sure what to make of it. It’s pretty funny and also a bit strange. Watch for yourself >
