The Charge
Reality is only skin deep.
Opening Statement
The independent documentary Second Skin is an eye-opening look at the worldwide Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) phenomenon. What drives more than 50 million people to spend a large part of their lives in a virtual world? For some, it’s the game itself—building a character and going on quests to fell mythical beasts and collect gold. For others, it’s a social environment—a place to meet like-minded people. For many, the appeal is in the anonymity. No matter how awkward, overweight, or isolated in “real” life, a player can be as powerful and attractive as they want to be online. Second Skin follows seven gamers as they find love, deal with life changes, and even fight addiction.
A press release from Sony just hit my inbox with some awesome news for God of War fans: The multi-million selling PS2 franchise is hitting the PS3 this Holiday season. Included on a blu-ray disc are God of War and God of War II, both completely remastered and presented in 720p and running at 60frames per second with full on Anti-aliasing and all the next gen trimmings. As the games were pretty damn stunning looking outings to begin with, this is one announcment that is full of win.
