An interesting guerrilla documentary effort, I'm very happy to see it here on the Archive and with subtitles. Overall a pretty fascinating look at gaming culture.
The encode of the film is not well done, it detracts some from the viewing experience. The audio is uncompressed pcm at 1.5mbps, whereas the video is only 600kbps. This results in a much larger file than necessary while at the same the video quality suffers.
