    Anyone seen the film Second Skin?

    My wife and I just watched it on Netflix. It's a documentary on Online role playing games. I'm not a gamer, so I watched it with some ignorance, just curious what you guys thought of it. Pretty struck by the intensity of it.

    Are there interviews with a person who's second life persona is a child, and who is 'mothered' in the game-reality by a woman, whose real world kids say that she doesn't have enough time for them?

        Second Life isn't a RPG or even a game in the sense of Warcraft, Everquest or Final Fantasy. It's a hangout for the dregs of cyperspace.
        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          It's actually a documentary that takes a fairly full-orbed look at the gaming subculture. Very interesting movie if you get a chance to check it out. You can stream it on Netflix.

            Second Skin is the documentary. Second Life is the virtual space for the perverts.

              I don't play second life, or care about it, I was trying to ask if the documentary I saw was the same one that timb was talking about.
              Most of the people interviewed in the docco that I saw did come across as pretty creepy.. so I'm inclined to agree with you.
