More embarassing than interesting
Not exactly an interesting documentary with depth but rather a commercial presentation with teen angst stereotypes and endless self-pity dialogues. I guess it works for the young audience in some way (david v goliath) but it fails to establish any positive connection with the featured game-developers since most of them come across pretty arrogant and at times just ridiculously embarrassing ... is it just me, or do others also just shake her heads thinking "Ok, then go ahead and kill yourself already" .. after hearing for the 5th time about how their lives will end , how everything is sooo bad and "depressing" (they like to use that word alot) and how planet earth will stop to exist when they just dont make their "deadlines" ....
Its more like, you cant help thinking that these guys are lucky to develop videogames, else they would most likely serve burger and fries with that kind of attitude.
Anyway, the featured games are pretty good, no doubt, and there is definatly some good talent involved .. but the overall mental state of some of them is something really not to admire ...
One of them is asked what he would do if he doesnt finish his videogame .. to which he replies that he would kill himself ... yes, some call it passion, but for other half of the planet, thats just plain stupidity.
