There is a lot to love about the "USS Callister: Into Infinity", the First official episode of sequel In the anthology show "Black Mirror". The episode, which greatly takes place in a video game with virtual reality, has the main characters who are Digital clones trapped in it. When they are killed in the game, they die real. Contributing to this problem is that "infinity" is online, a multiplayer game, which means that the gang is constantly coming to real life players who do not understand that stakes are real for them.

For most viewers, "real" players feel like a fun satire of the real life games community. Most of the gamers are young, kind of harsh and still living with their parents. (Not that there is something bad in that last part, although we wanted to be more beautiful for his mother.) But for spectators who also see followers of free time games, two of those gamers in the show made a fun surprise. During the last act, when the crew was attacked by a swarm of angry gamers, two of them play the popular streams of real life.

One of them is Daniel Middleton, Aka Dantdm, best known for his comment on games such as "Minecraft" and "Roblox". The other is Thomas Simmons, Aka Tominitin, also well known for his streams "Minecraft". Both are British streams, so it makes sense that mostly-British "black mirror" will take them to the board over some other popular streams there.

Dantdm has also released the episode of his social media pages, writing, "a new page search for complete 😂 is so pleased that it is part of the new series of" Black Mirror " @tommyinnit 🙌🏻 One of my favorite series of Netflix so far and now I need to be on a spaceship. "His post on Instagram showed a bunch of photos from behind him, including the one made along with Tominiti.

All the other characters of the gamer in the episode were played by the real actors, but these two real gaming homes went a long way in clarifying the episode's view. They helped clarify that the episode is not interested in ridiculing gamers, and however The dreadful creator of the game Robert Daily meets. As the Charlie Brook show explained in a A recent interview"Players in this are not aware of the stakes of real characters. ... I think they would be absolutely asked if they considered to be absolutely injured or killed real people. Of course it is not intention to say that gaming is violent or all that kind of nonsense that tends to be imposed in the media." Brooker added: "I trust people who play games much more than people who watch sports."
