The Diary of a Video Game Addict

I saw this student created project in a TED Talk awhile back and really liked it. It's one man's experience growing up with videogames. It's a fascinating look at how videogames affect our development.

My Virtual Reality, by Michael Highland

I must say, that was very interesting. It brought up a lot of good points.

From an analytical perspective, its very interesting, but as a gamer firmly rooted in reality, I did not find the idea relatable. This actually came up in conversation. Someone claimed to be able to skateboard because they were good at the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games. When I said they were an idiot and that playing the Mario games doesn't teach you how to punch through solid brick, they shut up and walked away...

Cool video, but it doesn't bring up any valid points to speak of.

I dont think he really thinks that stuff. I think he's just saying it for the short cause it sounds deep and somewhat true. My first instinct is that he is a film maker who is saying he's lost reality because it works with the whole style of this short. I dont think it is 100% sincere.

Agreed.
