Link to the Show / Show NotesBack in November, as we all know, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the 2007 Final Fantasy XI Fan Festival. During that time, while working on Limit Break Radio's coverage of the event, I was also tasked with creating a 20 minute documentary about a subject of my choosing. What topic did I choose? Why, online games of course! I know what you're thinking "ZOMG! Aniero! That's sooooo broad, there's no way you could squeeze the entirety of online gaming into 20 minutes!" Yeah, I kind of thought the same thing, which lead to a few mental break downs and a near permanent mark on my forehead that reads "Behrin" from where I was banging my head repeatedly against my Behringer mixer...however, I was able to focus my subject and make, what I think, to be a damn fine documentary about the world of online gaming. The documentary features a friend of mine, Jeff (Mindscythe) Smith, a professor at Central Michigan University, who is working on a theory about online behavior and interaction and an old show favorite Gyudva as well as his wonderful wife Cairstiona. Jeff was nice enough to share my work with Jester from the all mighty W00t Studios who offered to premier the documentary at w00tstudios.net. This is a very big honor for me, so thank you to Jester, Mindscythe and everyone at W00t Studios, and also thank you to Gyudva and Cairstiona for letting me pick their brains and almost making them miss the last developers panel. I'd also like to thank those that hung out with me on Skype for nearly 2 hours talking about MMORPG's for this project, sadly, I was restricted by time and therefore wasn't able to use the recordings, but I thank you for your time and contribution to the project. That recording session will see the light of day someday, trust me. Also, thank you to MarcstaR, all of the music that was used in the documentary (except game music) was composed by MarcstaR, so huge thank you to him! Lastly, I would like to thank everyone here at the Limit Break Radio community. It was all of you that inspired this project. I cannot thank you guys enough for coming here and hanging out and forming the LBR community. You are all amazing, never forget that. So, if you're an LBR fan, which I am assuming you are 'cause...well, you're here, then I encourage you to give it a listen. I'm very proud of the work I've done with the piece and I think you guys will greatly enjoy it.
