It should be noted that I love the various (sub)cultures that I’m a part of. Gamers, comic book fans, heavy metal dorks, whatever. I’m not the sort that walks down a Comic-Con alley with a derisive grin. I’m a dork, I like it. So a documentary about the various cultures that the gaming community is composed of gets me excited.

Only Ten Percent Of Gamers Finish Their Games? For Shame.
An industry veteran recently told CNN that only one out of ten gamers complete their games. Apparently he brought along a whole pile of studies and the such to corroborate this fact.

Old Republic Called ‘As Interesting As A Naboo Trade Blockade’. Not Surprised.
I am a Star Wars nerd. I like MMOs. You’d think the two would mix into some delicious concoction for me. Nope. While I have friends throwing rope and counting the minutes until it comes out, nothing – nothing – I’ve seen about it convinces me it’s anything but another MMO.

Luke Plunkett at Kotaku confirms my anxieties.
