Narrated by Mark Hamill – well, OK, using audio of his performance as Luke Skywalker, but still – the trailer for Internet Legends: Duct-Taped Gamer promises a deep-dive into the background of the legendary picture. Featuring interviews with many of the players in that room, including the man himself – named Drew Purvis, by the way – and more shots of the LAN party in question and context behind him becoming stuck to the roof, it looks to be a fun glimpse into a bygone era in competitive gaming.

If you’re unaware, the image in question, viewable in this article’s header, is of a player in a Counter-Strike LAN game who’s playing while duct-taped to the ceiling of the basement they’re all inhabiting. The picture surfaced in the early-to-mid 2000s and went viral on a pre-social media internet, representing a time before broadband made multiplayer between a bunch of mates extremely easy.

Internet Legends: Duct-Taped Gamer is due out this year – you won’t need any duct-tape to enjoy the games on our lists of best FPS, best co-op, and best multiplayer games.
