This movie started as a kickstarter campaign, premiered at Sundance, and has recently had various theatrical engagements (missed it when it played Toronto a couple weeks back).

It is now available on Steam! I'll probably grab it and watch it next week.

Thanks for reminding me. Giant Bomb has been talking this up a bunch and as a huge fan of Fez I'm looking forward to watching this. Maybe I'll watch this tonight.

This was fantastic. Highly recommended especially if you're a videogame fan. I am pretty unknowledgable when it comes to how people actually makethem though so this film was endlessly fascinating for me. Phil Fish is awesome sauce.

A fluff piece that is too insignificant for those who don't care about the subject and too redundant for those who do.

A fluff piece that is too insignificant for those who don't care about the subject and too redundant for those who do.

As someone who would fall square in the middle of those two groups, I thought it was terrific. I figured I would enjoy it, but by the end I was totally enthralled, and dare I say almost a little teary.

The one saving grace of this movie was the Super Meat Boy plot. Those people I really want to get to know. Everyone else bothered me or I was just not entertained by. Phil Fish and Jonathan Blow I'm sure are nice and they're good at making videos games but they shouldn't be in front of a video camera.

I was organizing my Steam library earlier and saw this and wow I totally forgot about this but anyways I just watched it and eh, I mostly agree with eternity. It's a shallow, unfocused fluff piece. I didn't find it terribly engaging or illuminating or anything.
