    Very very entertaining
    "Man vs. Snake: The Long and Twisted Tale of Nibbler" is riveting documentary about a man on a quest for redemption. The title seems like it should refer to an adventurer like The Crocodile Hunter or Indiana Jones who must face off against a slithery foe; however, this is actually a film that chronicles a video gamer's journey to reclaim his high score on Nibbler. I'm not telling you more... just watch it.
