    Win.

    I don't think I've ever agreed with a synopsis of the value of our past time more.

    Pretty nifty; chill music. But a big fail for no SotC.

    That was wonderful. Is there a high-res version around?

    Ace little video, very nicely done. Huge props on using Lackluster for the soundtrack. I can't recommend this guy enough.

    /me digs out his copy of container to listen to for the day.

    very nice.

    Kinda bugs me that I don't recognize a few of those games...... (about 5 or so I think)

    Wow, that was really powerful... I'm still kinda reeling from it. Thanks for posting.

    If only we could get this played on all the major TV networks, maybe humanity would start respecting our pastime...

    Wow... thanks for digging that out, Mouse! Awesome video... and so true! I'm still kind of stunned or something, I don't know how to describe it... Must be the music...

    Apparently I'm the only person on earth unaffected by this. I saw it on Kotaku and clicked away after about a third. Booooooring.

    It's an okay video with a good message, but I too find it relatively boring and (despite all the anger that it will direct towards me) the music kind of annoying (especially the weeech weeech stuff that starts going on).

    It was okay.
    The only video which actually made me emotional about videogames was this one.

    Don't you badmouth Tribes. Best game ever made. Although to be fair Dynamix dying didn't really get me really badly, because frankly you can't improve on Tribes at all.

    I've been disappointed with gaming in the last couple years. So few good titles, and nothing that really shook any genres except maybe Shadow of the Colossus. HL2 was pretty boring and over-hyped, which isn't much of a surprise. Still has no good mods at all, and the singleplayer was boring.
