For better or worse, Video Game: The Movie is a thing that exists. A documentary about video games should be right in my wheel house but I don't know.. being produced by Zack Braff doesn't exactly get my gpu running. Of course Chris Hardwick and Wil Wheaton show up in the thing too.. I don't know. I mean I enjoy @midnight as much as the next guy but jeez, I don't need a movie full of D-list nerdlebrities telling me how full of "art" video games are. Give me 90 minutes of coked up Atari programmers and Sony execs sticking it to Nintendo with the PS1 after negotiations over the SuperFamicon CD drive fell apart. I'm just saying if they spend more time talking with Cliffy B about GOW than they do covering revolutionary failures of hardware like the Dreamcast or the Neo-Geo then this whole thing is a giant failure.
Pro-Tip for all game developers out there: When you describe video games as art and then release day 1 DLC you're kinda talking out both sides of your ass.
