One sentence addendum to the post on storytelling

The reason Red Dead Redemption is so awesome is the same reason Modern Warfare 2 can make a rejected hollywood plot into a compelling story: YOU'RE IN IT!

On the Concept of Magic.

Magic is like Nazis or the Devil (didn't see that coming, did you?).

Well, it is, in the sense that it is often used by lazy people as an excuse for something better,

like (in the case of Nazis)

• your own psyche
• yourself from the future
• fate itself

or (in the case of Magic (capital M))

• sufficiently advanced technology
• dreams
• etc...

hmm

I have some ideas.
In lieu of those ideas, have this:

Derp

Hurr Durr

Seriously though,
I'm a bit tired, but I can't sleep.
Just like I'm stuck without inspiration or willpower.
Can it be monday please? Now?

okay then, copypaste of what was going to be a vlog. Not to waste your RSS feeds, eh?

The Matrix

It was simple. I know how some people didn't get it, and I'm very sorry for you, and if the first movie was too much for you to grasp, then lolwut?

Anyhow: the Matrix was simple to a fault. Any human could escape.
The problem for the machines however is that the world could reset. Yeah, that was a more of a mindf**k than n°1.

The English Language

You know what annoys me? People abusing the the english language. Lolwut, I hear you say? Why Thomas, you are a frequent rapist of the language yourself, you old lolcat you.

Okay, yes, you are allowed to take certain liberties in the use of teh inglish langZ0RZZ but all in all, there are certain things you don't do. Let me focus on one of these things that make me figuratively homicidal. The misuse of the word "Literally". Apparently, "literally" has two uses, and neither are: "literally".

Ah-hem

Update:

I have a job, right now. I can't really tell you about it because of a certain contract (it rhymes with pata-pon disclosure), but suffice to say this has been on hold, temporarily.

Next post

will have to wait a while. I know what I want to do, but I'll be trying something new. You'll see it when you see it.

Storytelling

I've had some ideas about storytelling.

Always have.

Recently, I realized how dumb it is that a lot of people neglect and diss a medium that seems made for storytelling: games

Edge of Darkness Movie Review

He's back. Yup.

Mel Gibson disappeared off the face of hollywood for a while. He was still there, of course, as a director, making movies that I didn’t really want to see, like Passion of the Christ. I liked him better when he was getting shot or punched to pieces (because, admit it, that’s like, 80% of his roles).

And then, except for calling a cop “sugartits” (*snigger*), I didn’t hear a thing from him. I called, but he didn’t answer the phone. Stuff like that.
