I thought it was hilarious, at first, that everyone’s decided Doomguy is still the protagonist of MyHouse.wad. After all, it doesn’t really have much more to do with Doom than gmod has to do with Half-Life 2. But then I remembered, isn’t that a plot point of Doom II? Visiting the burnt out ruins of your hometown on your way to the portal to Hell? Why couldn’t Doomguy take a few minutes to have a nightmare of an emotional journey in a childhood friend’s home to come to terms with everyone and everything he ever loved being destroyed?

In the leadup to a new life game, I ask the masses a question many have asked before, but with a twist (as is the spirit of a life game!)

ppl genuinely mad theyre breaking up 88 and 34 are so funny as if every game i don't have to hear "another missed pass" fkljdslf or as if auston isn't self-fueled rn. like. 599188 was better than 233488 has been in this stretch of the last whole month they've got and if you don't want the second line to get eaten alive, you gotta change something man. first line's not even been that good either on the whole, it just looks insane w auston willing the whole team back into games. willy's point yesterday and a couple over this ten game stretch haven't even had much to do with his own line like lmfao.
ppl only support the whole "we have two talented right wingers so switching them when things go stale is reasonable" when its auston and mitch being split up and that's it. like it's a fairly low stakes move when everyone's played together now, so it's insane i have to read takes about mitch marner and his ~family~ pulling strings in the leafs org like that's a reasonable thing to think or that people constantly complain abt this not making ~logical~ sense when it does ? and they never complain when it's the other way... we just lost 9-3,, like that's not an accident and the leafs are rightly not happy about that. the leafs think auston can drive his own line and if you all really thought willy could, you'd be wanting that second lining firing again bc then that's TWO usable lines and not just one like we had with the lines yesterday.

After watching this movie 5 times with all my students, I can safely say The Hunger Games (2012) is a very shitty adaptation of the book. Everything just moved so fast. The entire first 10 chapters of the book is shoved into the first hour of the movie. The last 17 chapters are packed into an hour and a half. None of the relationships are built up nor make sense. We have no idea why Rue’s death actually makes Katniss so upset, because their entire interaction is reduced to 5 minutes of screen time. We assume it’s because Rue is young, but that’s implied on our part. There’s not even a nod to how Rue reminds Katniss of Prim. Like they could have had a throwaway line or something, awkward as that might have been. Yeah she sings the same song to Rue that she sang to calm down Prim in the first scene, but we don’t really know why that song is even important.
The same is true of Katniss and Peeta’s relationship. They do give us a few moments of tenderness, mostly on Peeta’s part. They allude to Katniss and Haymitch’s communication, but not the conflict that builds in Katniss. So much so, that when Katniss responds so strongly to thinking Peeta might have died by eating the berries, her reaction comes across as sudden and extreme. She yells at him and hugs him, when literally two minutes before she was barely talking to him. It comes completely out of left field. I’d say the only relationship they kind of build up is Katniss and Gale’s, which is really annoying because that whole thing takes a backseat in the first book. My theory is the script writers were Team Gale because they also nuke all the parts of Peeta’s character that make him interesting, and give those characteristics to Gale.
And yes, I get we didn’t have time or money to show everything, and movies never do, but these relationships are pivotal to the plot of the entire series. Not spending the right time to build them up correctly cheapens every single emotional moment the movie has, and almost every one going forward.

i really would feel like a lunatic telling someone who hasn’t played the game that the protagonist of mafia 2 is gay and autistic and so so so sad because i realize that from an outside point of view i just look like some chronically online weirdo with no critical reading skills projecting wildly. i tag him on random tender yearning posts and then get embarrassed thinking of people looking up the game and thinking “what the fuck is this guy talking about?” but it’s like you gotta trust me because it really is exactly like i said
