ADDIT'S PROFILE

Hmmm…the last movie that I went to go see in the theaters was Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation with a couple of friends - which was a pretty decent movie that I enjoyed watching - but a part of me feels that if the ending was done a lot differently, where Ethan managed to fail to stop the bomb in time, resulting in the deaths of countless people and all of his old comrades and his ex-wife, that it would have been a lot more effective, memorable, and would have been the perfect setup for (possibly?) the final film in the franchise for a while. But, whatever I guess. What they ended up ultimately going with was still alright in my books and was probably the right call in the end, since the rest of the supporting cast in it were quite good and were quite likeable to watch. Either way, that was pretty much it for me for last year. Most of the other movies that I was waiting to see that came out that year I just waited until they eventually popped up on demand to rent so I could watch it at my home at my leisure.

It’s not that I still don’t enjoy going to the actual theatres to watch a movie anymore, it’s just…with how expensive it is to go and buy things like snacks and such and pay for the actual movie ticker nowadays, it can be quite expensive, and I don’t mind waiting a little bit longer to see the movie for much cheaper at home when it happens to eventually come out. Yeah, if it’s a big time movie that I definitely am dying to go see on the big screen – sure - I’ll shelf out the bucks for the movie and go see it on day 1, but it has to be the perfect type of movie that I wanna go see. Otherwise, I’ll just wait.

As for inspiration for game development or story ideas by watching movies? Nah…usually not. I rather get my ideas from either odd moments of inspiration, that happen to just come to me, or by just going to bed and dreaming and remember whatever I can from those said dreams and turning it into something. I find that a lot more effective for me, personally. Plus, I get a little nervous about possibly taking some ideas away from familiar, more recognizable content if I just simply get my resources from just films. I mean…you gotta try and think a little bit more original once and a while, right?

@ Dyhalto - Oh yeah, I would never usually go around any store on Black Friday because it is so much of a gong show out there; I usually wait until after the sales over, when things aren’t as busy in order to get what I want. I mean, to save a couple of bucks just to deal with all of these crowds? F**k that, I rather just stay home and order it online if I can.

I'm glad online stores are killing brick and mortar stores. You're getting less nuts out on the streets.

I dunno, I kind of enjoy watching people fight over something as stupid as getting a crock pot. It’s hilarious to watch. ^^

Black Friday is about causing property damage, not about buying stuff.

Nah, we only do that when we lose Game 7 of the Finals.



(For the record, I wasn't there downtown that day.)

That's fantastic news to hear. To think that you started off working on some of the most craziest shit going to now going commercial and having your games sold all over the world now. Who could have honestly seen that coming many years ago? Way to go, man.

But, yeah, you should consider writing an article, or at least do a blog post about your experiences going commercial and all. It would be an interesting read.

I’ll probably wait to go see it myself when it first comes out on video or something. I’m in no hurry to be the first one in line to go see it, so I don’t mind waiting a bit.

It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed the last couple of Star Wars movies, but they definitely pale in comparison to the original trilogy. But here’s hoping that The Last Jedi can do a good job and prove me wrong and maybe some good reception for the film might persuade me to go see it first in theaters instead. We’ll see.

Canceled: Oh, your subscribers aren’t gonna like this…

Completed: Finally! All those pain, staking nights of endless loneliness and seclusion have finally paid off! Now go get that Misao...

Hiatus: So it's on...sort of on...kinda on???

Production: *sigh*
