It’s the story of Shirley Curry is the embodiment of the idea that games are for everyone. On her 83rd birthday, follow the journey of Shirley Curry as we explore how Skyrim, YouTube and thousands of passionate fans changed and enriched a grandmother’s life.

In episode 1 we dive into the beginnings of the Insurgency mod and New World Interactive, as a team of modders come together to try and finish their very first project as amateur hobbyists. The second episode of our Insurgency documentary series will air on Monday, Sept. 9 and cover the development of New World Interactive’s World War II FPS, Day of Infamy, and a project they’ve never spoken about before, called Exiles.

Hope you enjoy the documentary, and stay tuned for updates on new projects very soon!

The first episode of our three-part series will be premiered live on our YouTube channel on Sept. 2. We’ll be announcing the official time of release closer to the premiere date, so stay tuned.

We’re excited to debut the first documentary short from Gameumentary here on Escapist today covering none other than Yahtzee Croshaw himself.

We filmed this short documentary about Yahtzee during E3 week and thought it would be a good introduction to Gameumentary’s documentary content here on Escapist. We hope you enjoy it, and be sure to tune in on Aug. 17 for the full trailer reveal for our next documentary covering the Insurgency series by New World Interactive.

That series will be a full feature-length documentary series covering everything from Insurgency the mod all the way to post-Sandstorm and even a project that New World Interactive has never talked about before.
