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 =)

I doubt it, but I am collecting a lot of discussion topics to make this a larger thesis.
Simply Beautiful
I doubt any one else could have said it so well.

Thanks! I'm kinda the non-animator of NG.
wow
You are totally right, I only play games when my friends are online (and I do not mean friends that I have never seen face to face, I mean my friends that I hang out on a regular occasion) I personally think playing games alone is boring. But anyways, bravo, you sent out a very good message today. :)
Nicely done
Smooth, slick animation paired with nice drawings. On top of that, a clear and justified argument, somehow to capture your views without imposing them on others (necessarily). On a side note, I agree with your view, for the most part.
The dynamic and changing animation styles were also quite appealing, in reference to your use of a character, a hand puppet, sprites, and some real life footage, which I think really aided your point concerning the balance that needs to be struck between life and games.
I could probably go on listing things I was impressed by in your animation, but I should also mention that there were quite a few pictures and stills, and not a lot of animation. Sure, what was animated was (in my eyes) good, but if there was a little more, it would be... more interesting? Unfortunately, in doing so, adding humorous animations of your view of video game addicts may just as well detract from the credibility (due to apparent bias) of your message. As is, I liked it, enjoy life (some more)!

You are right. I could have animated more, but one must strike a balance between "message and box."
