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 =)

Not really.

I know what you tried to say, but I say the opposite.
You're in charge of your life, not the games.

I haven't got a life, for a simple reason of I have no idea what else to do.
Neither do people seem to like me all that much (I got some hum of the reason, but not really), so making friends is hard.
= All of my time is spent with my dear electronics.

I've tried to find a hobby elsewhere than online, but I'm not interested in anything. I've been called an addict, but I've told them to check the word's definition. I'm not addicted to anything only because it's the optimal thing I know...

Tl:dr;
If it were to the games, I wouldn't be here now.
It's a piece of entertainment, not an obligation!

Thank you.

Thanks this video changed my life about gaming

wow

This video really changed my life.

a little scary

sometimes life really scares me. the fact that someone could put that much time into, basically nothing, is a really scary idea.

about the flash... it was good and there was a great deal of feeling and meaning behind it. i really do believe that video games are bittersweet. i like videogames. ive been to video game parties, and i think that as long as we dont overdo it, video games are awesome. oh and by the way nice use of the avatar soundtrack. although it did get a little loud by the end.

It's no secret

10/10 for burning WoW

Now something deep...ish... okay not very deep at all, just long.

I realised all this years ago. The question however is whether one cares.

Achievements aren't accomplishments but why should I accomplish anything?

Sure I could pour hours every day into physical training and one day become a sports super star or general. Or i could turn on the consol and play Fifa or CoD

I could study every night and one day invent a cure for cancer or build a nifty robot. Or I could level up and unlock that remove curse spell or purchase that fancy mech part.

The list goes on. But I for one, in my admitedly pessimistic oppinion, see no point in doing anything with my life. Having a picture of myself in a book does nothing for me once I'm dead. A family raised is nothing more than an increase to the population, more mouths to feed, wood to burn and so forth.

When I die, I will have no regrets about these hours wasted playing video games, because that's all humanity is capable of doing. Wasting time.
