    This guy wrote the screenplay for Book of Eli? GROSS. Hated that terrible movie.

    WTF dude, that movie was great

    Dude, you're nuts. It was a really bad movie. Horribly cheesy and stupid. Also, in many ways, visually a rip-off of Fallout 3, yet nowhere near as amazing.The movie being so religious was also a total slap in the face. I wanted to like it. I thought it looked great in previews, but man, I think overall the movie really blows.
    I'm surprised that you're using The Book of Eli as his main association when he appears regularly on GB's Thursday Night Throwdown, E3 live-streams just last week and the Tested podcast every week.

    I worked on the game about eight years ago for a brief period doing writing and story consulting work. I seriously doubt anything I did is in the finished game. I also put the game on the cover of PC GAMER three times while I was Editor there, so the Special Thanks may be for that :)

    One's a major motion picture, while the others are a bunch of silly internet crap?

    I assumed you were smart enough to realise I was speaking in the context of Giant Bomb, when speaking on the Giant Bomb forums. Apparently not, so just for you:

    If I was Gary, I'd Alan Smitty that shit.

    To be fair, all the writing he did for the game was done years ago and apparently none of it is still in the game.

    A better question would've been. Why wouldn't Gary Whitta be in the credits?

    @Stonyman65: Any day where I can make someone realize that Duke Nukem looks like Drew Carey is a day well spent.

    I suspect that the entire video game industry and then some is credited in this game.

    I wouldn't blame Whitta. 
     
    It takes the convergence of a lot of talented people to make even a bad film, and that film's problems probably didn't start at the script level. 
     
    If you can even get a script into pre-production, it's probably pretty solid.
