Reading Too Much Into Everything

  Turn ON Your Brain - I stand by this. If a piece of media is engaging my mind is working to maintain that engagement. If the media is bad my brain is working to examine why this isn't working for me. So either way my mind is working. This Movie is Rated F For Fun - I'm not sure I got my point across well. Yes, a piece of media should not be boring, but there are many ways to engage with media. If it's not boring to you, then it did it's job of providing something to enrich you. I'll probably expand on this later when the opportunity comes again. Not-So-Jolly Rancher - I still haven't run into a good explanation for why this scene is here few people even talk about this. Will probably have to revisit this after some research. Zack Snyder v Public Record - i was all over the place with this. Need to keep my points tightly focused. At least Ben Affleck turned out ok. Redemption - pretty proud of this one. I probably should have given more examples, but those

Non-Transformative : Ohh a pretentious title. That will get people reading. And surprise, we’re getting another Transformers movie. Good news: the director is not Michael Bay.

I however didn’t mention that it would be Darkseid that would take Doomsday and I can’t prove that was my thinking, so minus one internet cookie. Oh well, I’ll do better next time.   Why Writing : I meant to convey that good writing is super-important, and I did not do that. I’ll try to do better in conveying my points better.   Best Comment Ever (this week) : I don’t think I’ll bring this back, even though I thought it was a cool concept at the time. These comment were fire though.   I Wonder : no more short lazy ones like this, though my point still stands   Pil

It is the year 2016...wait it's 2023? Where have I been all these years? Oh yeah, real life happened. I'm truly sorry about that. I fell off and only now am I coming back to try again. A lot of stuff happened in the interim, and boy do I wanna talk about that, but let's start off slow. We'll take a look at my old articles & see where I did well and where I made my mistakes. Maybe we can all learn some lessons along the way. An Open Letter to the Games Industry : What a waste of time that was.Even if the AAA game industry ever read it, they would never have followed any of my suggestions. Not because of the merits (or lack thereof) of the suggestions, but because there would be no money to be made in following those suggestions. In fact, they leaned even further into the bad business decisions that made them tons of money but alienated their customers even more. Not that their customers ever actually stopped buying their products, but that's a separate issue.
