This documentary traces the evolution of the video game industry, from the days of Atari and "Donkey Kong" to modern online gaming and esports.

This might be of interest to some of you guys on here - coming real soon on Netflix:

Roy did musichall, radio, TV, serious acting and wrote so much for many comedians and himself. A much loved comic great who was as nice off stage as he was on, a true gent and an amazing talented and well read person. I always think of him a one of the Goons even though he wasn't but was of that comic royalty.

Just awful.

I really tried to let it speak for itself against the hype and spoilers since its release, and I admit that I had a rough idea of some of the biggest complaints— but I consider myself a person who can still come at something objectively and just let it speak for itself, you know?

And I get what they might have been going for, but whether in the execution or in the cutting room, it didn't work for this fan who has...
