I wrote this years ago, but I finally typed it up. This is an M3-based story about how Dynamo met Blade Marionette. It's a little squicky, so bear that in mind. I don't think it's that good, but I wanted to try writing something in first person, and this fit pretty well.

| Doing Video Games Justice |
[Apr. 23rd, 2006|11:37 pm] |
Let this be a lesson to all people who would make movies based on video games. Learn the lesson of Silent Hill, also known as how to do it right.
1. Maintain the tone of the game: Silent Hill did this wonderfully, making the movie as dark and claustrophobic as the game, with the same overlying themes of a town that flipped back and forth between ghost town and Hell.
2. Don't Hollywood it up: There were no gratuitous action sequences. Rose didn't Ripley through the end of the movie. Sometimes the wrong people die.
3. Treat the source material with respect: Though this is an original story, it uses most of the elements and some of the characters of the first Silent Hill, and one notable character from the second.
4. Retain the elements that people enjoyed about the game: This movie uses music from Silent Hill, it retains familiar settings, to the degree that I'm not sure how they managed to get some of them so exact. Familiar monsters, as well, from the hideous zombie nurses and ash children to good ol' Pyramid Head.
5. Remember that there's a story to be told and a movie here: Seriously, get someone who cares about the source material, has a good story to work from, and make it work in a different media.
6. Don't break the rating of the game. Silent Hill is Hard R. It wouldn't have worked any other way. Too many other movies forget this... Mortal Kombat PG-13? A dark and dystopian Super Mario Bros.?
Video game movies suffer from the same problems as Book movies... they suffer from adaptation, and almost none of them are as good as the source material. I just want to take a moment to sit back and recognize that finally, now and forever, we have a truly excellent video game movie, a standard to which others can be held. |

Three years after graduating from the University of Kentucky, my SAC web page, my first online presence, passed away quietly in the night. The cause of death was reported as a purge of idle pages by the SWEB staff, something which has never actually been done before. It will be survived by its descendant, The Videoland MUSH Web Page. Mourners may post replies in this livejournal.
But it was a freaking web page... who cares?

So, I'm picking up Nintendogs as soon as it's available in Lexington. Those of us who have DSes around here and are getting it need to get together so we can hang out and let our puppies mingle while we pretend we aren't playing the gayest thing ever.
I mean, let's be honest with ourselves...

While chatting with Fuchi tonight on AIM, we got into a rather rambling discussion about Star Wars that finally got me to sit down and write out my feelings on how the Force works.
Be warned: those of you who like the whole neutral Jedi thing are full of shit and wrong. Sorry.

You scored 6 Honor, 5 Justice, 9 Adventure, and 3 Individuality! |
Well pardner, the thing that drives you is a sense of adventure. You're
willing to play by the rules, but only so long as you've got open
territory to cover and new frontiers to explore. You don't need much
and you don't ask much.Strap on your six gun and wear your Stetson proud. I think you'll do just fine |  |
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 20% on Ninjinuity | | You scored higher than 62% on Knightlyness | | You scored higher than 86% on Cowboiosity | | You scored higher than 9% on Piratical Bent |

I'm at home for the weekend, mourning the fact that I'm turning 28 on Saturday.
I'm much too young to feel this damn old.

Anticipate some form of gathering and drunkedness when I return, tho I don't know when.
Now, get rolling, procrastinating prince. |

You Are The Wayward Heart
"Feel Better."
You are best described as 'Emotional Support'. Anytime an emotional issue comes up or something stresses people out, you are there to help them feel better about it. Whether you are the prankster of the bunch, the funny one, the wild one, or just the shoulder to cry on - your traits favor what it takes to keep people going. You like large groups of people and have many friends. When something hits home for you, however, you have a hard time with it. You also have difficulty paying attention or focusing on one thing. Above all, though, if people are happy, you are happy.
