![[image loading]](http://pixhost.info/avaxhome/11/e8/0016e811_medium.jpeg) The series is hosted by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku and is based on his book Physics of the Impossible. In each episode, Dr. Kaku addresses a technological concept from science fiction and designs his own theoretical version of the technology using currently-known science. He also visits scientists developing technology related to the episode's concept. Contents | ||

I believe there are more than a few in Korean about famous SC gamers specifically. As for general gaming documentaries Chasing Ghosts and I Got Next are both excellent (links in the thread). MTV did a True Life episode on gamers that is pretty funny (can be seen here) in part because its about 7 years old now. There is a doc that goes over the CPL drama called Frag that had some good stuff too. I also enjoyed Word Wars which is about the Scrabble pro scene (covers a lot of the same material as the book Word Freak which was cool for me). | ||

LINK: Science of Games. Dr. Michio Kaku, world renowned physicist and the co-founder of string field theory, tackles some of the biggest topics in contemporary science. Now he's set his sights on the world of video games, as he disentangles science fact from fiction in an exclusive video interview series hosted by GameTrailers' Daniel Kayser. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.movieposteraddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/mpabigrivermanposter.jpg) Amazing/crazy story. Martin Striel is an extreme endurance swimmer who has swam some of the world's longest, dirtiest, and most dangerous rivers from beginning to end. Oh, and he's also overweight and a raging alcoholic. This film documents his final greatest challenge: Swimming the Amazon. I won't say whether he makes it or not, but there's some really gnarly stuff that happens. The guy who goes completely insane, the navigator, is from my hometown as well... | ||

With everything just being about genetics, steroids, and working out, it seems like we've figured out physical sports. | ||

Great documentary on the rise of the personal computer through Microsoft and Apple. A bit old, but still a documentary every CS or EE major should watch. Wozniak, Jobs, Gates, Allen... also, anything on BBC Horizon | ||

![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/19/The_union_movie_poster.jpg/220px-The_union_movie_poster.jpg) I doing think anyone has mentioned this one yet, The Union: The Business of Getting High. It tries to clear up lot of common public misconception about marijuana, I personally found it very educating. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.robotvsbadger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/The-boy-who-sees-without-eyes.jpg) This is the story about a boy who loses his eyesight due to cancer at a very young age but learns how to navigate using echolocation. His ability to navigate using sound gets so good that people forget that he's blind. For example, he can ride a bike between parked cars. | ||

It's about basketball. It's epic (even if you don't particularly like that sport). Watch it, thank me later. | ||

Totally concur. Anything by Werner Herzog and Errol Morris. I recommend: Catfish Probably one of the most talked about documentaries of this year Encounters at the End of the World My favourite Herzog doc. You get to see penguin prostitutes! The Devil and Daniel Johnston Our Daily Bread - possibly NSFW So clinical but so good Close-up (Nema-ye Nazdik) A strange but touching story about a man who wanted to be a filmmaker | ||
