Second Skin Explores The Dark Side Of MMOs

The above clip is the official trailer for Second Skin, a low-budget documentary that explores the darker side of MMOs. The film will not be widely distributed, but might make some appearances at various film festivals. I think anyone interested in the subject of MMOs and society should take a little interest in the film. Personally, I tend to avoid MMOs these days because I know my own addictive personality. It appears that the film will be exploring topics such as how MMOs could possibly have something to do with the isolated lifestyles many gamers live. I can believe that to a degree, but also know many hard-core MMO players that have enough self control to avoid being completely sucked into the games.
