Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

This has been the most difficult film I have ever made, because its meaning is very true to my soul. For too much of my life I have been a mindless consumer of time. Hopelessly placing value in things that never gave an ounce of value back. Now that I am older, I worry endlessly that this new generation is making the same mistakes I now deeply regret.

In the end, I hope my message is honest and clear. Whether you agree with me or not, please share you thoughts, spark meaningful discussions, and share this film with everyone you know.

Special thanks to all those who have been my strength - and to all of you for taking a moment to open your minds =)

Halfway through the film....

.....I thought about one of my goals in life. No, it's not to finally beat SMB (though I have done that before), or becoming the pokemon world champion, but rather bringing pokemon to real life - yes, real life! The possibilities, I thought, were endless, and could make life much better for everyone! But, as I watched the film, I almost completely threw the idea into the mental trash can. But, after the first half, it was almost as if you said, "Go on - do it! There's no shame if you're with friends."

On several occasions, this brought a tear to the eye. Very touching to my generation of middle and high school kids.

Truly an inspiration my friend...

Very very great flash. Just the moral alone is worth 5 and 10. I love to play games myself. However, I understand that they need to be enjoyed in moderation. I'm married to a very wonderful woman and would never choose games over her. As a matter of fact, I try to include her. I just recently started playing World of Warcraft and I don't see what's so great about it to throw my life away. It's a very fun game, don't get me wrong, but it can't hold a candle to my life with my wife. I'll be a gamer forever, but never a game addict. Life is to precious to pass up.

Yawn.

Fuck real life. There's nothing entertaining about it at all, besides video games of course.

The Only Thing You Know Is Right

Every thing you know is right dude, I quit a online chatting site and Im doing well in school, and my vocabulary is infinitely expanded.

I disagree.

That doesn't make this a bad animation though. You made some good points. Video games may seem like just time wasters to you, but then again, what in this life isn't?
