Inside A Documentary About Video Games Pt 2
Last month, I was filmed for a documentary film on the down side of video games and the rapid integration of technology into modern culture. The movie is titled Your Computer is Killing You: The Side-Effects of a Techy Lifestyle, a labor of love by filmmakers Brian Bentow and Solomon Rothman. I was asked to contribute my thoughts on video game addiction.
For this week’s (month’s?) Robot Punch!, I’ll share my experience from the other side of the screen to give some insight on its progression.

GotGame has your burning questions covered through an exclusive interview with Heyzap founders Immad Akhund and Jude Gomila, whose London accents charmed us into loving the idea, not that they needed to. 
The web has undergone a steady evolution of hosted multimedia outlets. As technology permitted, each trend would explode and spread like wildfire across the world. First came free hosting, followed by written blogs, then podcasts, and now the latest sensation: video blogs. But what do these video blogs mean for online journalism?
Work sucks. Day in, day out, facing the daily grind as just another wage slave drone trapped under the thumbs of corporate oppressors. But have you ever wanted to really stick it to The Man? We’ve all whispered it under our breath, but one guy finally did more than just talk about what we’ve always dreamed, and took serious action…with the power of YouTube.
We all know that the internet is riddled with those who think grammar, capitalization and punctuation is an outdated and unnecessary art form. These individuals are often looked down upon by grammar snobs as being unintelligent neanderthals who chisel out thoughts with nothing more than grunts and moans.

Good new for Google: during a court settlement with Viacom in a New York federal court earlier this month, Google doesn’t have to turn over their source code, the code for identifying repeat copyright infringement uploads, copies of all videos marked private, and Google’s advertising database schema. Bad news for everyone else in America who has ever been to YouTube: due to the judge’s ruling, Google has to turn over the I.P. addresses and user names of people who viewed copyrighted videos and the databases concerning those copyrighted videos and how many times they were viewed.
