Most of you are probably now familiar with the documentary called Press Reset: The Story of Polygon, which is about Polygon's "journey" making the site. The trailer is seen as many as ridiculous, but for me...well I was reminded of another documentary about video games that recently came out. So I made this:

Yes, I made this extremely late at night and there are some messy parts, and of course the audio isn't synced up with their mouths at all (except for one perfect moment), but it is odd how perfectly it works. Obviously, I did a lot of editing and moving around of scenes, but the overall tone of the two are extremely similar. I feel like the Polygon team drew a lot of inspiration from Indie Game: The Movie, even down to the "this is our livelihood on the line" tone. But comparing the creation of a website, while I imagine is difficult and could be risky, is no where near the effort that goes into making a Video Game.

At the same time, I do believe that it will be interesting to watch, because there are probably more factors that go into creating such a site than many of us know. People on the forums have compared it to How to Build a Bomb, which is, while a similar concept, way more humble and seems like more of a way to show the users what goes down in making a website, instead of "Dramatic website building".

Well guys, that was my strange and sporadic blog post. I just wanted to get my thoughts on this matter down, and to share my creation. Hope you enjoyed, and if not, I apologize :).
