i just need to rant about video game adaptations--especially when an rpg is turned into a movie or show.

like an rpg is all about player choice, from what skills to improve, what gear to wear, gender and appearance (often, but not always), to who lives and dies, who rules the land, etc.

so i have never watched an adaptation of an rpg. the default protagonists in these stories are white dudes, which is already an entirely different experience from what i had playing the game.

i mean, one egregious example is KOTOR. Like amazing game. amazing story. Carth Onassi and his lustrous hair. Bastila and her grey morality. Main character? Truly awesome origin story crafted around them that all at once allows for player freedom yet makes the character fit nicely into a pre-determined narrative.

But outside the context of the game? None of that choice matters. Revan in "canon" is nothing like my Revan.

It's incredibly dismissive when an rpg that allows for this choice, not the least of which is playing a character who resembles me physically, emotionally, ethically, is turned into a cookie-cutter narrative. I've been erased; my experiences meaningless. The part of myself I put into that story? Rendered null and void because there is a "correct" way that the story should have been played. And I got it all wrong.

So, let me see if I've got this right: the Halo TV series took two full seasons to get around to introducing the actual Halo, i.e., the thing whose name is the title of the show, spent exactly one episode there, and then the show immediately got cancelled?

You guys I just found out about this guy who made 3D printable files for adapters for game controllers to allow them to be used one handed!   It’s so clever and easy and accessible, unlike other adaptive controllers.  It just snaps onto a regular controller.  The way the stick is controlled is damn genius.  So much easier than trying to use your feet like other systems. 

A friend is using one due to a stroke and as someone with problems from arthritis, this is so great to see, in case I get to the point I really can’t use my right hand.

Please share and give this guy some love, cause this is awesome.

Universal/Legendary/Blizzard Warcraft 2015 Movie Review Part 2

If I Look Too Closely Will The Flaws Become Clear?So I’m the human side our hero is a man named Lothar. A good nan. Probably your Aragorn insert for this movie. An ok character. Don’t worry. Your goofy bungling character is coming soon. So… Maybe one reason this movie didn’t hit it off with fans is it’s pacing. Right now I’m a bit torn. Is it fastish? Just right! Not slow that’s for sure. But……
