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 =)

Just Amazing!

This is amazing, I can say, that it changed my life, I have spent a quarter of my life on video games, this video helped me a lot!
Thank you!!!
I'll recommend it to all my friends!

Fantastic Message

Absolutely awe inspiring and life changing. I would give you a standing ovation if this was done life at a public hall. It's interesting that you mentioned WoW, which I'm assuming was a leading cause of your current troubles. I literally have treated WoW like an illegal drug, in that I haven't even touched that game, and I tend to stay away from people who do. The "Burning Crusade" was funny, but it's something I think more people should do to free themselves from that literally bondage.

The only thing you really missed was the fact that ANYTHING in excess is bad for you. TV, movies, eating, sports... hell, even working out! It's all about prioritizing and moderation. I'm a "nerd" who has never had a problem being with women and having meaningful relationships, because I put video games/electronic entertainment at the bottom of my priority list.

Thanks for sharing a much needed message with the world. I will be passing this along to people who need to hear it.

Brilliant !

Fantastic... I ve started to realize that about a 2 monts ago /// ////////////I know that all or atleast many of you don't care I (bad english ) But i now i live without playing games. Yes you can play with your friends to do something Collectivly but what's Cool about you sitting all ALONE ? Now i can do much more good things learn something make something and all other good stuff..... ///////////////////////
Well Thank you Brian Schmoyer Your method how to lose weight really help !!! :DDD

Epic Ending

The at the very end, the "Burning Crusade" part was soooo epic, I too played games my whole life but im not giving them up any time soon. I just LOVED that part of the movie so I rated 10. ;P

Review 1000

I totally agree with you! I already started doing a flash about this myself, but i'm just too crappy at animating :S

i messed up a part of my life with World of Warcraft. So did/do some of my classmates. i realised it about 15 years earlier than you did. but that doesnt make me "better" in any way. I still spent the same percentage of time on video games.

I will leave it at this, you said all the rest in your movie.
Good Luck and all the best for the rest of your life :)
