Second Skin is an upcoming documentary by Pure West Films that focuses on the lives of seven MMO gamers, exploring how their games of choice have affected their lives. It touches on many popular MMO topics, such as falling in love, becoming addicted, gold farming, and the effects virtual worlds can have on the handicapped. It’s really easy to make fun of the people you see in this, the first trailer for the film, but not so much when you’ve been there. Having been addicted to MMO’s in the past, I see a bit of myself in the film’s subjects. In the past I’ve spent weeks at a time rolling out of bed into my computer chair (if I even made it to bed) and immediately logging into Everquest, to the point where it was really the only thing that mattered in my life, and yeah - I’ve fallen in love online as well. Maybe one day I’ll tell you folks all about it. For now, enjoy the trailer.
