The Switch being $300 is cool. I'll get one eventually if it actually has some games, and I'll definitely sit out the first cycle in case of build quality issues. The controller looks uncomfortable, too. My friend gave me his 3DS a few months ago but the games are all too expensive, like drat guy, these games are like five years old, c'mon. I've been playing Ocarina of Time again thanks to my secret santa though!

It honestly looks like the same issue they had with WiiU, low storage and not a competitive price; a PS4 bundled with game goes for 300 bucks. So drat dumb, it's not like it even has a great battery life or a launch line-up.
edit:The european price tag is laughable too, 330?!

Yeah well, the WiiU was what it was. A portable with an estimated lifetime of three hours when playing Zelda for 300 bucks, with a payable online service, not up to snuff. But hey, SMT is on it, so I'll get one when they drop the price.

It amounts to a lack of value when it was competing with similar priced hardware and better perfoming too.

Well look, I'll post the script tomorrow I guess. I mean if it's bad, I'll know what to fix, specifically instead of just going by instinct.

I know for a fact you can cut down the description/actions. But I don't really want too.

The chance of somebody reading your script at 120 pages is considerably higher than if it's at 160. If I open a script and it's longer than 120 my heart sinks. So you can have it at 160, but it's a self-indulgence. The pragmatic thing to do would be to cut it down, and keep a longer version for yourself containing the beats that you (and probably really only you) want to retain.

With the next-gen consoles releasing just a year after, and on Switch's case it's already going against the PS4 and Xbox One going kinda strong. It's not dead on the water or anything, but it's looking like another typical Nintendo console. The whole gimmick this time looks way more appealing than the WiiU's tablet, but that price tag, coupled with other features, yeeeesh.

Nintendo should develop an official game boy emulator for mobile/tablet. They could even include a huge bundle of games at the onset like they did with the NES classic.

Do you ever think about how one of your favorite works of art was also a favorite work of art by a killer? It's something that's wormed its way into my head after becoming obsessed with Eric Harris' favorite band, and thinking about how my second-favorite movie of all time was inspiration for the failed assassination of Reagan.

You can't judge things by the people who liked them. I mean just because Hitler liked something doesn't automatically make it bad. Like for example meth, Nazism, or Disney films.

The Switch has a bunch of dumb decisions already and Nintendo are pretty much putting all their console eggs in this basket so they can't afford to Nintendo it up this time.

That being said new 3D Mario means I'll preorder when I get paid tomorrow

Also, Night Mind's stuff on Alantutorial and Footage of a Bear were both good but This House Has People seemed sort of underwhelming especially given the amount of supplemental stuff there is to go with it. Like in the first two every frame seems to have meaning but in the latter there's just so much and so much less if it feels like it adds anything

I know he also liked King Kong, but Snow White seems to be the one that keeps popping up on the google searches. I didn't know he (and Goebbels) liked Metropolis though. That's interesting.


I also need to rewatch Metropolis in the near future.
