According to VH1's GameBreak, 8-Bit is the best movie about video games ever made.

This movie's about how games affect our culture, how the genre crosses the culture to influence music, art and the way we think. In "8-Bit," artists invade the online shooter "Counter-Strike" to add messages of peace on walls with paint ball guns - if they don't get shot first. In "8-Bit," people make compelling trance, club and even pop folk-ish music using old GameBoys. In "8-Bit," artist Mary Flanagans takes the software from "Unreal Tournament 2003" to make "domestic," a memoirist's world in which she tells a story about how her father was trapped in the family's house during a fire. It's amazing stuff all the way around.

I have never even heard of this movie, let alone seen it. Seattle has a bad track record for indie cinema, often getting skipped over on nationwide releases, so sometimes even our alternative papers won't know about this stuff. Looks like the release is very limited thus far. Eliza Gauger
