The money is the seed, the catalyst, the culture. You need to know how to properly use it to achieve happiness.

Anyways, my plans for the day are to go to my local cinema and see the new Alien movie and then see the Sony Press Conference. Will today be a day of joy, horrible disappointment or and interesting combination of both? Only time will tell!

First one, then the other.

It looked absolutely atrocious from what they showed, which should not even remotely be a surprise considering it came from the team that did Blade Arcus.

There already is a Minecraft/Mojang documentary, but it was made in 2012 and so it is unfortunately from before it was discovered that Notch is a shithead

Seems like with all the other stuff you have to do to make a proper video game come together "good writing" usually gets left by the wayside. Usually fine, but things can get downright embarrassing if they try to tackle something they just can't handle

I guess alternately you kinda tell a story by way of what the game is like to play- oppressive atmosphere in Dark Souls comes to mind

It's more about what's feasible than what's possible. Yeah it's probably possible to make a nuanced story so complex that it provides an interesting social commentary and a message that can be easily understood while also saying a lot of poignant stuff. But it's not feasible because the game only has a small amount of time/space to deliver that message to you, not to mention the skill it'd take to implement such a message.
