The Remarkable Life of Ibelin || REACTION

[@gunnshell]

Man, I never knew in my entire life that I could cry so much and so hard at a documentary or anything for that matter and for someone I never knew or met. This was such a great documentary.

[@STARPAZAC]

same,i,was.so.sad:(

[@Loosifyre361]

I sobbed the entire time

[@carlekelin9605]

Me too. It’s insane, never cried so much in my life.

So very sad 😢. What a beautiful group of people he was associated with.

[@silviatanzini7010]

Same 🥹❤️

[@Henoik]

As a Norwegian, I'm so proud and so touched at the same time watching this film... Norway's Authority of Media just created the "Ibelin prize" in honour of Mats, which will be awarded to those who do a lot for the gaming community.

[@davidcampbell6146]

Blizzard has placed a replica of Ibelin's grave stone in the game. That's a great tribute to him.

[@jameshoopingarner]

Where is the grave and is it on all servers ?

[@davidcampbell6146]

@ to my knowledge it is on all servers. It is located on a little island in the lake behind the Goldshire Inn. I went to it on the Duskwood US server.

[@jameshoopingarner]

@@davidcampbell6146 I found it , it is on all servers Thanks :) Its such a beutiful monument .

[@aythia82]

Me and a few guildies went there, all deeply moves.. and seeing people /kneel there or /salute was just... such a feeling. Amazing respect and love

Thank you for the review, appreciated it both as a movie nerd and as a Starlight-er :)

[@internethistorytrash7464]

bro when the girl flirt with him in game, I thought the worst was gonna happen (he was gonna be a dude or trying to sabotage him or something) but no, it was a real romance, it really hit me in the feels.

[@quinnn.5424]

It could've been a dude in real-life and still been a real romance. Just saying. 😉

[@icebergrose8955]

​@@quinnn.5424it was real. And when she saw him kissing someone else, that was real too. Great film.

[@LizzieLeish]

Azeroth is home and has been for 20 years for millions of us.

[@kennethquinnies6023]

What a wonderful tribute to him.

[@lena2415]

Watching this amazing documentary, absolutely changed my view about games players and the remarkable story behind each character, brilliant documentary

[@MySzwed]

Thank you for the nice reveiw... you have payed great respects to a great man and a dear friend.

[@charlayned]

i play World of Warcraft. It's been a long, strange journey for me. My adult kids got me into it in 2008 and I'm still playing today. It's my fun time. I am a creator, writing books, and the family stress, the medical stress (both me and my husband have numerous illnesses), and just life, Azeroth gives me a place to go and just live for awhile without the stresses and strains of life. And the World has a lore about it that is fantastic. I've made friends on the game, good friends. I collect mounts, clothing to transmog, pets, toys, and go on adventures that this tired old 67 year old body wouldn't let me even try. Iberlin had, what sounds like a great life. Oh, and if you're interested, Blizzard is raising money for Duchenne's Ddistrophy. It's on their shop page.

[@rickyt11]

Thanks for sharing your story. I have been playing since 1995. off and on in the 20s, during Covid, I got my daughter to play with me. In all my years, it was nice for her to see and meet others in this world.

[@LizzieLeish]

my kid got me playing right before tbc launch, about to go do delves now :) Azeroth is home, my mate I have been in guilds with for 18 years just logged on :) Lok Tar!

[@og_lesk6218]

We were the same age, a week apart. Mats seemed like a great guy. I'm glad he got a documentary.

[@domitabs]

I don't think death is the problem in the world. Death is just part of our journey. Beautiful doc, I reccomend.

[@nochildsupport4889]

I dated someone with muscular dystrophy so this hit me so hard since last year she past away 😔

[@shaunhirsch7668]

People will either fully get this, or they won't, i feel this story mirrors so many lives and experiences. He didn't just struggle against his condition. He struggled against Hardship, something common to almost all of us. I never knew him. I didn't think it would move me. I'm glad we were so wrong.

[@agnetha4223]

I can say with all my heart that World of Warcraft is not just a game, it is a family that gets together, talks and plays. I've been playing WoW for many years and when my online family went their separate ways in the game it felt like my heart would break. The best time I've had is with Wow and I hope our family can be reunited.

[@Drewster86]

I watched this and cried for the first time in over a year

[@quinnn.5424]

This documentary was very sad, but it was also wonderful, romantic, and life-affirming. Highly recommended for veteran online role-playing gamers, as well as for their non-gaming family and friends.

[@alyssc01]

I finished watching it last night. I feel everybody must watch it. Gamers. Non gamers.

[@FreeGnomio]

I've consumed a bit of your content, and I like it a lot. It is worth a sub and a like. I'm a Christian trying to work out what place media has in my life as a husband and soon to be father. May the Lord bless your work, sir.

[@ReformedMythologist]

I'm glad you're here! God bless your growing family!

[@HexiiSky]

Enshu-falah-nah Ibelen, may elune guide your soul. 🕯️

[@xwiick]

Couldn't agree more, Thanks for the review of this important movie

[@strangetheology]

Fascinating, in part because I was just playing WoW with my sons :)

[@theturtlearchives]

18th of November is the day he passed away, a memorial will be held at his grave.

[@Traslan]

Ibelin is an impactful documentary. Especially for none gamers.

[@simondymond8479]

I watched it last night. It really got me thinking. I was part of a great clan (Ancient Dawn and others as things morphed) back in the days of Everquest 1. Then played WoW and many other games. New people there like I know my in real friends. For some reason though, I always kept everyone in a separate bubble from me. I suppose because many people I know just find gaming a bit odd. But then I thought about an online funeral I attended for one of us in Everquest and another in World of warcraft. They were truly moving. I guess I always struggled to reconcile the online with life in general. This really got me thinking. The way Ibelin was able to experience some sort of freedom and life without the limits of his physical problems probably cannot be overestimated. There could be something bigger here that needs to be investigated when it comes to quality of life for people that were unlucky enough to draw a bad hand in life's lottery. The trouble is, do we want a corporation to have this kind of power? Particular now massive corporations have run out of competition and are now making a play for control of nations.

[@strangetheology]

Stories bring us into the world of the imaginal, and what we behold (in our imagination) has influence over who we become. Fill your heart and mind with the Gospel and watch is work its way out into your life.

[@mattutes]

I cried like an actress.

[@Lunapie]

I never cry, now I did.

[@Loosifyre361]

I cried the whole way through

[@SirBuljo]

Hell i should know how much this game means... i met my several years now spouse in world of warcraft... while roleplaying at a time i was at my lowest...

[@everythingamazing2379]

great review :D

[@ReformedMythologist]

Glad you appreciated it!

[@nanach6276]

My father is Electrosensitive and is sure this guy died by using the computer too much and it just got worse with WoW's release and his much increased time spent in front of the computer
