I got forwarded this video from College Humor. Its been awhile since I even took a look around there, but it's a pretty hilarious short about having a Noob boyfriend if your parents were a little more hardcore than that.
This is a bit old now, but it's what we were using for previews in the small theater run we had in August. Second Skin takes an intimate look at three sets of computer gamers whose lives have been transformed by online virtual worlds. An emerging genre of computer software called Massively Multiplayer Online games, or MMOs, allows millions of users to interact simultaneously in virtual spaces. Of the 50 million players worldwide, 50 percent consider themselves addicted.
When we first heard Zealous1's level up, we knew we had to include the track in Second Skin. When Victor and I swung through SoCal shooting, we dropped in on him and shot this video in a couple of hours. It took forever to finish it and add all the machinima. I am psyched to finally get it out there.

Enjoy and tell your friends.
I don't think I've ever actually posted about the Guild, but if I haven't I really should have by now. For those that don't know the Guild is a web series about a group of online gamers. It's hilarious and well worth watching from the beginning. You can check the rest of the shows here. After the jump watch a new favorite of mine ~
Our very own Andrew Monkelban, a subject in the film, has a friend who gave Second Skin a big shout out today. Click on the video to check it out.
We're releasing new clips from the movie every week through our theatrical runs and all the way up until August 25th when the DVD comes out. This one was featured on Spike TV first, but now has a happy home right here. Click on the picture to check it out. This one is called "The Fort Wayne Crew", and is where you meet four of the main gamers who take you through MMORPG's.
"Spending endless hours in front of a computer playing virtual fantasy games can ruin real lives and wreck real marriages, and surprisingly, the average player is 35 years old..."
