I know this is just supposed to be a funny internet picture, but it sums up pretty well why button prompts/cutscene interaction don’t always work and why they often times do more to kill the mood entirely then they do to “immerse” you in a “cinematic experience”

This was a really emotional scene in MGS3 and a lot of peeps (myself included) teared up a bit here. Having a big fat “PRESS A TO BE SAD” really would have killed the mood.

Now granted, cutscene interaction can be done well. In this scene you can press R1 (If i remember correctly there’s no prompt for this one) to see out of Snake’s eye and see his vision is getting blurry and he’s starting to tear up as well. When I first did this on like my second play through and noticed this detail I honestly did cry a bit, and to this day when I get to this scene i always get a really heavy somber feeling.

Earlier in the game too, they force you to press square to fire The Patriot and kill The Boss. That’s another bit of cutscene interaction this game did that is extremely memorable and conflicting to a lot of people. The game does not progress unless you, the player, choose kill The Boss. It’s a simple thing, but they did it really really well. It stuck with you, it made you think, and it made you question your choices. And that was back in 2004.

I know I’m just yammering on and over analyzing a funny internet picture, but  I dunno. I think this image is an inadvertently a good sort of satire at the “evolution” of video games “cinematic” and “emotional” elements over the past decade….

Being sick sucks. Every section of my body hurts in a really cold way. I have a feeling that my flu got into my nervous system.

December 22nd. I woke up incredibly sick.

She took nearly everything and left.

She left a key.

This is where our story ends. Maybe I’ll get over this flu.

To answer the questions, this is about my mother. This’ll prolly be the last part of the story, now rebuilding needs to happen.

Being stuck in bed for three days gave me a lot of time to think about all the stuff I wasn’t doing. In particular, I realized that I haven’t been diving as readily into new ideas and weird projects as I used to. 

So, I’m going to try a sort of thing I haven’t done before. I call it Operation De-Suckify Christmas. I’m raising money to to get a bunch of legos for kids who are hospitalized on Christmas, and I’ll match 20% of what you guys donate. 

I’ve just talked it over with my local hospital, though if I raise enough money I’ll be getting some stuff to donate to the Hopkins Children’s Center or find another hospital to pull into this. Take a look! As usual, it features a short comic with goofy Quill-Weave pictures.

Hey, people! Kazerad is giving LEGOS to CHILDREN for CHRISTMAS. Support this guy and check out his page! Some of you know this guy as the author of PREQUEL. Help him out!

Please help Kazerad DEFEAT CHRISTMAS and OWN SANTA! This is VERY important. Legos!
