I would put my usual "serious talk" blah blah vol:3 etc but that wouldn't fit.

From filmmaking brothers Juan Carlos Piñeiro and Victor Piñeiro, Second Skin focuses on the world of online gaming and the addictions that are formed within the computer-driven worlds and realms of cyberspace. It is a cautionary tale, but also one that promotes understanding — the understanding that there are social and societal explanations to these gaming addictions, these online communities. As someone who has known a few hardcore gamers in my day, I found it relatable and incredibly well-framed. It doesn’t look down on the gaming community, but hands them the microphone and allows them to tell their story.


The FSR review makes it sound like it's worth seeing.

And while we're on the subject. I saw this today due to someone providing the link. Warning it's WoW related.

Doshu's cousin organized a 600 strong army of short wow characters to invade a server.

Someone trying to kill him while he's afk.

Oh man, couldn't stop laughing at the start of this one.

Anyone who gets addicted to a video game is a douchebag and a faggot.

I once had like 6-7 alliance attacking my holy paladin at once and it took them forever to actually kill me.

Second Skin, the MMORPG doc.. er I mean nothing.

I found it quite interesting and well done actually. White people are crazy though. Meeting each other in real life like that. They're just begging to get murdered. That skinny Everquest dude is a serial killer. That poor girl, need some time to himself and inaccessible = off killing someone.

Also the way they do the taransitions from wow to the person that's playing the character is darn cool. Makes wow seem epic and awesome. If it wasn't a drug I would even try it. That poor guy that had to go to wow rehab was strung out on the game. Man wow is evil.

Ok that was no fun. I didn't like it. Felt too clunky, better off playing a rpg. Better graphics, and more fun that way. I know it's because I didn't try to get deep into it but it just didn't click with me. I liked seeing the thf's or whatever turn invisible and sneak attack mobs though.

Speaking of crack, I have a question, anyone ever try drugs? I know, I know, just say no. But someone pretty much persuaded me to try ecstacy and shrooms with em. This was after seeing true blood (tv show, this scene) where a dude and a girl try V and experienced some awesome stuff together. Everything is telling me to say no, but it's stinking tempting. This person isn't a drug head, just pretty much as interested in trying something new together. Did her homework and said shrooms are the safest to not get addicted, and it's quite the experience supposedly. This is stupid I know, but I can't go around asking people if they tried it and get a non biased answer on if I should try.

Quote:
The majority of people will try some drug in their life despite the best anti-drug teaching efforts, and more still will be curious about others. Instead of pretending that some of these drugs are the end of the world, it is better to be educated about them and make a choice that is right for you.

No, the right choice about drugs is not always saying "no." They are unique experiences with amazing potentials which have a time and a place, depending on the person. Only you know your limits.


"Shrooms

Everyone should try it at least once, in the right comfortable environment. Settle in, try to do it in a beautiful place. Take in the sunrise or the sunset. The wholeness of everything will consume you, life's beautiful symphony conducted specifically for your trip. I am no poet, but the experience can be a life defining moment.

Enjoy it!

Ecstasy

To this time the single greatest day of my life was the first time I rolled on Ecstasy. There will never ever for as long as I live be a single moment that will be able to top that. I'm not sentimental, I'm a realist. None of my sexual experiences have come close, none of my other drug experiences have mirrored the pure all-encompassing empathy and pleasure I felt in those few hours. And although it's probably crass to say so, I'm positive having my first kid won't come close, or the day I get married.

SO, I heartily recommend that everyone with a passing interest find a way to do it. And if you're worried about the dangers associated with it, there are MDMA testing kits out there that can, at the very least, confirm it as an E pill. That is not to say there won't be other stuff cut with it... there almost always is... but there's very very very little chance any dealer would cut it with something so significantly dangerous as to kill you. It's bad for business, would bring heat on them, and mixing it with more dangerous drugs costs more money for no reason.

Try to find a way."

But yea, drugs are scary!

Did shrooms 3 times, hated them all 3 times.

That's the worst I've done; weed of course as well. Everything else always scared the shit outta me :<
