glam rock hamhock posted:I feel there's a chance for an adaptation of RP1 to be pretty okay if it's done right. The problem with RP1 is it's pretty much a generic 80s movie story filled to the brim with pop culture worship. I honestly don't have a problem with pop culture character showing up in the trailer because this is a movie about the future internet and of course that world would be made up of pop culture references. The key to how standable it all is is how close the movie actually leans towards the attitude of the book. The whole story could easily be made as a commentary on the internet age and how people wallow in their own little bubbles. From what I understand the book is not that and just unironically embraces it's world as awesome but an adaptation could easily diverge from that and the sort of crowded drabness in the trailers give me some hope. Spielberg is sentimental as gently caress but it tends to be in a drastically different way than RP1 so I think there is some hope for the adaptation but I'm also not holding my breath. I agree that a subversive critical adaptation would be great, but considering the loving hero shots of the DeLorean freshly polished with two coats of

I mean, if there's anyone I'd trust to make a decent movie out of a bad book, it'd be Spielberg. He kind of has a good track record in that department.

RP1 is about a utopia where star wars and other pop culture stuff is thankfully dead and long forgotten

I'm offended by RP1's implication that Overwatch will be an enduring classic that isn't forgotten within a decade.

I thought the beginning of RP1 was ok with the dystopia stuff but then the author goes crazy with the fan service and basically writes himself into the book as Willy Wonka who's fortune is unlocked by having intricate knowledge of his favorite 80s and 90s pop culture references. It's so bad! (Reference to a movie lol did you get it)

I'm def more happy about TF2's success because most of my hours went into mod servers with custom maps and crazy game-modes. It's hard for me to play Overwatch without getting bored of the same six maps and dogshit playerbase.

Wow, Star Wars Battlefront II is really bad. Easily the worst game I've played this year and possibly one of the worst shooters ever made. Like, forget the lootboxes, forget the lovely campaign, I have never played a shooter that felt so floaty, weightless, imprecise, and low-impact that wasn't made by a single college student. There are asset flips that feel better than this Edit: the best parts are the starfighter sequences, mainly because of TIE Fighter nostalgia Edit: Like, they somehow made it so playing a dude with a lightsaber does not feel fun, it's like that joke gif from Revenge of the Sith where Obi-Wan is just swinging his lightsaber like a doof not hitting anything, nothing feels right about this CharlieFoxtrot fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Dec 10, 2017 |

I get why you can't have cross play, but just include it and let people turn it off if they don't want to be matched with each other, I just want to play games with my friends

Didn't Criterion work on Battlefront 2 full time doing the space fights? Imagine how good a racing game you could make if Criterion and DICE collaborated for a few years

A reminder that Mike Nelson of MST3k and Rifftrax fame has done a book club podcast where he and another Rifftrax writer who's name escapes me read through RP1 and podcast their commentary about it. It is very good and y'all should read the book along with them. It's called 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back.
