Livestreaming the Darkon documentary - Wednesday 8/21 7:00PM EST

OK, I'm posting to gauge interest in anyone who may want to watch a stream of the movie Darkon.

 

Darkon is a documentary about a LARP that has been going on since 1985 in the Baltimore/DC area. It also happens to be the LARP that I play in. I was able to score a free copy of the documentary at a Darkon event this weekend. While we're waiting for the FFXIV to launch I thought it would be amusing to stream the documentary and answer any questions and give commentary about the game and the people in the documentary.

 

If there's any interest, I'll post a link once it gets closer to stream time.

 

Here's a trailer!

And no, I'm not in the movie. It was made years before I started playing.

I'd like to see! Always wondered about LARP. Never experienced it myself.

Awesome! Seeing the documentary is what got me wanting to go. It really does have a good story that it tells, with the epic rivalry between the two "main characters" and the struggles they go through in and out of the game. And as far as the way it makes the game look, it really does make the game look like a blast.

 

The only thing that bugs me about the documentary is that I feel that some of the people in the movie weren't portrayed very fairly, but I'll elaborate on that during the stream.

Bumping as a reminder. I should be getting home from work shortly before 7:00 p.m. today. If you want my commentary on the movie we can work some way out of doing that in mumble chat or something. I'll post the link around when the time comes!

Oh, I watched this with my girlfriend awhile back. Its actually really entertaining and I definitely recommend this. Even if you are not that interested in LARPing, it is still very interesting to see how they interact together. The end was actually pretty damn epic. I think they had this on Netflix awhile back.

I APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY FOR THE DELAY! I just got home from work, and I probably should have done a dry run of getting this thing to work when I had time.
