tobutt posted:This lovely thread is two years old. It has much good content but should go live somewhere else. I am going to move it either to the goldmine or Cinema Discusso, I welcome input but it will be moved soon. If it goes to goldmine, can we create a new one? If it moves out of GBS it'll be harder to get people to see it!

Second Skin http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=V_2FycHamfA Second Skin takes an intimate, disturbing look at three sets of computer gamers whose lives have been transformed by the emerging genre of computer games called Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs). World of Warcraft, Second Life, and Everquest allow millions of users to simultaneously interact in virtual spaces. Second Skin introduces us to couples who have fallen in love without ever meeting, disabled players whose lives have been given new purpose, those struggling with addiction, Chinese gold-farming sweatshop workers, wealthy entrepreneurs and legendary guild leaders–all living within a world that doesn’t quite exist. Second Skin focuses on a couple who met in a virtual world, an addict whose life was ruined by MMOs, and a group of MMO gamers who spend most of their lives inside virtual worlds

I, Psychopath Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL95008272BB2F2C29 quote:Psychopaths… we usually only know them from Hollywood movies. We never expect them to enter our real life. But, the psychopath is closer than you think. Experts believe their number to be as high as one in a hundred. Most of them function incognito in high-powered professions…all the way to the very top. Personally, I didn't like it too much. The guy is (obviously) an rear end in a top hat, but tries too hard to come off as evil; only achieving to appear as a huge know-it-all douche bag. Stephen Fry: The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive http://documentaryheaven.com/stephen-fry-the-secret-life-of-the-manic-depressive/ quote:Stephen Fry presents this documentary exploring the disease of manic depression; a little understood but potentially devastating condition affecting an estimated two percent of the population.

A very interesting documentary about UFOs, I know what I saw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIeGeE0uDJg Now, I'm not really into the whole UFO thing, but this documentary gathers the statements of reliable witnesses (which doesn't necessarily mean they're not full of poo poo) including government officials from all over the world. It's a nice change from rednecks who saw UFOs after drinking and hunting.
