Synopsis

/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.

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
nlatrese 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.
