After watching King of Kong a few weeks ago I’m really enjoying this gaming movie trend. This new film by documentarian Jason Scott is all about text adventure games and the people who made and loved them. If you’ve ever stared at wonder at a PC telling you about a world that doesn’t exist in clear prose and whimsical detail, this is a movie for you. All you kiddies and your WoW would do well to learn from these greats.

You have been eaten by a Grue.
