/afk: Away from Keyboard
/afk - AWAY FROM KEYBOARD explores the relationship between online gamers and the games that they play. It examines the evolution of the World of Warcraft from its infancy to its non-existent conclusion and beyond, into the world of obsession. Through the lives of several key characters, it shows the joys associated with online games, and offers a objective look at some of its inherent trappings. /afk seeks to create a dialog about gamers in an attempt to bring understanding to the online gaming phenomenon and the millions of gamers behind the World of Warcraft; the most successful MMO of all time. In doing so, one might assert that gaming can no sooner be understood than that of any other form of addiction: if it's an addiction at all.

Good movie but grossly overrated
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
A very fascinating look at the world of gamers. The hi's the low's, the pain and loss that happens because of addiction. The fact that someone could get so absorbed in a fantasy world that they completely lose touch with the real world without even realizing they have and not find anything wrong with it is absolutely mind boggling. This movie is a must see for anyone who is addicted to gaming or for anyone who knows someone addicted to gaming. I learned things I never even imagined about the gaming world and about the gamers themselves, their enablers, about their camaraderie with fellow gamers, and a gamer's P.O.V of the fascination of being in a virtual fantasy world. The director really seems to capture the gaming culture.
