This is the age of the internet. Just like how Slenderman can become an urban legend despite it being invented on this site for everyone to see, a landfill full of video games can become an urban legend despite it being a thing that was actually reported on in the 80s. Any fact and fiction can become a "fact or fiction"

Cactus posted:I've seen all the Charlie Brooker stuff so other than that are there any decent documentaries about videogames? I kind of grew up watching them turn from the geeky niche spectrum/amstrad/commodore 64 pixellated poo poo into the multi-genre behemoth they are now and it's been fascinating. King of Chinatown is not great, and has some really lovely music through out it. But I found its subjects pretty fascinating. Its about competitive fighting games, and at the start it appears to be about Justin Wong and his rise, but its really about his crazy manager Isaiah TriForce Johnson (legal name) who walks around with a power glove in his hand and has an apartment full of "pro gamers" (mostly young kids) living and sleeping in his living room playing games 24/7. He later became the subject of this polygon article about waiting in lines, which I would not recommend reading until after you finish the documentary http://www.polygon.com/2012/11/18/3655956/triforce-johnson-the-worlds-most-patient-gamer-wii-u

MeinPanzer posted:The Empire's involvement in the Galactic Civil War began in secrecy. It ended 30 years later, in failure... It was begun in good faith, by decent people, out of fateful misunderstandings, Imperial overconfidence, and Clone War miscalculations. And it was prolonged because it seemed easier to muddle through than admit that it had been caused by tragic decisions, made by both sides... Lmao, someone please recreate the "iconic footage played in reverse" bit but with Star Wars please, it would play really well.
