Bombin' the A.M. With Scoops and the Wolf: 10/11/2013

Their discussion about writing and the ridiculous fantastical apocalyptic stories hollywood loves to fall back upon reminded me of this video.

Yes, Blight Club! Make it happen.

Cage talking mad game as an innovative "authority" for video game narrative then dribbling forth the same bonkers mediocrity he's always put out? I FOR ONE AM SHOCKED, SIR.

lololol

Only Dennis Dyack and Peter Molyneux existances in the video game creation field keeps him from being the greatest fraud and attention-whore the industry's ever seen.

Patrick's repeated use of the phrase "the Stanley Parable demo is the designer having this existential crisis about demos", used first in Worth Playing then used again verbatim here, makes no sense. While there is a lot of satire and fourth-wall breaking in the demo, I don't think you can even apply the term "existential crisis" to something as mundane as a demo. There's no crisis; if Patrick thinks that the demo's narrator being flummoxed and stressed out is somehow indicative of the designer also being stressed out about demos, then Patrick should work on separating reality from fiction. The SP demo is a planned thing that pokes fun at specific elements of the goals and intents of most regular demos (while also portraying the demo as a sort of weird live tour). The phrase Patrick is possibly looking for is "the Stanley Parable demo is a meditation on demos". "Existential crisis" is not even remotely applicable.

Sometimes I feel like Patrick just wants to use big words to describe things he likes, and then chooses random big words that don't actually fit the situation.
