For the most part, 2008 musically passed with the grandeur of an oboe solo for me: nobody noticed or cared, except for the occasional court-awareness, awe-struck moment of, “Whoa, hey! There’s an oboe solo going on right now.”
“Second Skin,” from Pure West films is a documentary about Massively Multiplayer Online Games, and the lives that they’ve transformed. Games like Second Life, and World of Warcraft have become a subculture, and “Second Skin,” follows a group of people and the effects such games have had on their lives.
