2old2play Chicago LAN Video

by DSmooth| Published: Friday, August 22 @ 08:24:16 EDT

2old2play's own DantezINFERNO, for those of you that don't know, is none other than acclaimed filmmaker Janks Morton. Whether or not you have met or played with Dantez, one thing is for sure, he is one of the most talented members of 2old2play.

In his powerful documentary What Black Men Think, Janks challenges the stereotypes and myths that are perpetuated about black men in society, and the film has received kudos and media coverage from all major outlets.

For those of you that have been to past LANs, you may remember Janks filming portions of the LAN back in 2006, after which he released a short documentary on his trip to the LAN.  Well this year Janks one-upped himself and put together a little piece on 2old2play that speaks volumes.  Here it is for your consumption...

 

Enjoy...

Derek

Like I posted in my blog, I went searching for a story about adult video gamers, and found out very quickly 2old2play is way more than just video games, it's about the family and community you guys have built, and I am just honored to be a part of such a wonderful opportunity! Janks

Dude,

If you would have put 10 more minutes of time in it, you could have sent it out to the TV stations and some documentary channel. I thought I was watching A&E or something when I saw it. :)

Was really impressed with all of it. :)

Technically I need another 8:17 to get it on air, (commercials)..., I got some TV contacts...the footage is a little grainy, so broadcat standards and all...but we'll see!

Great job on the mini-documentary about 2old2play and the LAN. I have been a member of the site for a while now...but have not been to a LAN. Next one that gets set up in So Cal, I think I will try to go.

Really nice to put faces to the site members too.

Amazing job with the video. I like the way everyone kind of expressed what the true meaning of belonging to 2old2play is. I have met so many great people from this site. It can't be said enough, thanks to the founders of the site. I love calling 2old2play my home away from home. Thanks, Brian.

DSmooth,

Thanks for sharing that video. Janks has a lot of talent and filmmaking is one of them.

Janks,

You did it again! Continue filmmaking, because the world becomes a little brighter each time you do it.

Enjoying the vision,

Christendom

Glad I was able to be there and experience it this year.

If you think the LAN looked fun I promise you it was better than you think.

awesome goddam vid Dantez. I'm a little surprised you showed the ugly mugs of Taxi, BC and Laud, I'm expecting a drop in membership over the next few weeks because of that. A little more Bliz would have been nice, damn that guy is a sexy beast!

I'll be there next year. suck it.

Dugg! And somehow, even if I have to drag the whole family, I will be there in 2009.

When can I buy my ticket!

hmm... I like the ed hardy clothing from a visual POV. ed hardy created ripples among the fashion conscious immediately after the ed hardy uk was launched.
