I am so grateful to Robert Steen for coming out with this story because love and understanding is so needed for this modern phenomenon. Thanks to Robert, so many parents can feel better about it, see it for it's true value and importance in their children's lives and respond accordingly. Thus, gamers too, at last, are afforded a new kind of recognition and respect.
I'm a 56 years old woman who plays worl of warcarft with her 27 years old daughter since she had 21, it is our world appart from others, we collaborate as equals, we do thing together and also alone as on fisical world, we fight sometimes, as every mother fight with her sons, but we also congratulate each other for a success campaing, for killed a difficult boss, and discuss also strategies to kill it, I didn't regret anything about it, for me it is another way to share life moments with her :)
So loving the movie and so glad that Mats was able to have something close to a full life in a virtual world. I am also glad that Mats' parents were able to learn about it - learn of how much he meant to his friends, what difference he made in their lives. While my conditions is FAR from that serious, I can understand. Due to a visual issue, I don't drive. Living where I do, in a place where it's difficult to get around without a car, in a gaming world (be it GTA 3, Final Fantasy, or WoW) I was able to get around quite easily. And especially in WoW, where I chose a class that had ESPECIALLY mobile abilities. I play a Mage, who can not only teleport herself but also open PORTALS for friends, guildmats and groups, thus being the one to be able to "give someone a ride" rather than always being the recipient of that sort of kindness. I would also suggest parents join their kids (or at least learn about) their online gaming. I have had 2 kids who practically grew up in my guild. Both of them were brought into it by their respective dads. Both were really polite kids (maybe having dad around to set an example and keep an eye on them helped?) and both grew up to be really nice adults.

His dad is so brave for being able to tell his son's story.

i came here after watching the remarkable life of Ibelin...
I couldn't follow.. :(
Video not avaible in sweden?? Skavlan is swedish svt? LMAO
Hi there. The reason our videos are geoblocked in Sweden, is that SVT own the rights there (and TV 2 in Norway).
