This clip, like the last one, I found in the "classic" listing on Machinima.com. It shows that when people can spend as much time expressing themselves as much as they want, and they consider what they're doing to be legitimate, they start to self-maintain their community. In other words, communication becomes community.
To give you an idea of how immersed these people get in their niche of the world, I picked the first post on Machinima.com's message board. A quick google search of the author's alias returned profiles on so many gamer websites that they couldn't be listed on one page of google results. I checked the results, they were all about the same person. Some of them were from 3 years ago, some of them were actually written by the gamer's xbox, which apparently has its own blog. By looking at the different websites, I could see what this person had been interested in / infatuated by during the last few YEARS. And because these are social network sites for the most part, I could see that this person's friends were along for the ride. So yeah, pretty surrounded in the gamer niche world.
PS. This clip is a critique of a gaming platform, each of the character types, those character type powers, aimed at the makers of that platform, and a review of an hour and a half movie made by one fan. It goes into more depth than Today Tonight. (admittedly not too hard)
