That picture of a gamer duct-taped to the ceiling is getting a documentary
The duct-taped gamer is one of the most enduring memes in gaming. So many questions: how did he get there? What was his kill:death ratio? How did he pee? A new documentary is going behind the myth to answer all of these, and more.
Narrated by Mark Hamill - well, OK, using audio of his performance as Luke Skywalker, but still - the trailer for Internet Legends: Duct-Taped Gamer promises a deep-dive into the background of the legendary picture. Featuring interviews with many of the players in that room, including the man himself - named Drew Purvis, by the way - and more shots of the LAN party in question and context behind him becoming stuck to the roof, it looks to be a fun glimpse into a bygone era in competitive gaming.
If you're unaware, the image in question, viewable in this article's header, is of a player in a Counter-Strike LAN game who's playing while duct-taped to the ceiling of the basement they're all inhabiting. The picture surfaced in the early-to-mid 2000s and went viral on a pre-social media internet, representing a time before broadband made multiplayer between a bunch of mates extremely easy.
