Good morning. I just remembered that "Hello, I'm here to speak to Hiroshi Yamauchi, your CEO." is an actual line in the Tetris movie.

WRONG

I swear today isn't gonna be about how much I disliked the Tetris movie. I do hate that line with a passion. I can hardly believe that someone wrote it, and then a whole bunch of money and effort was spent to put it on screen as written.

 Sat Apr 01 13:39:48 +0000 2023

Well, that's an expected issue. And honestly it's hardly one of the issues I had with the movie.

It pains me so much that the writer couldn't figure out how to make an already fairly exciting story of almost an international conflict interesting, so their solution was then to just completely make up a second half for it.

If he really wanted to make another Alice game, he totally could have. He would have to let go off the branding, and have to come up with new EA non-infringing designs and story, but the rest is in public domain. I highly doubt he wanted any of it in the first place.

Is it good is kind of a loaded question because it has a very particular sense of humor throughout. It was made specifically for Bruce Campbell though, so it plays to his strengths.
But the general vibe of the show is like this:

This reminds me of my grandmother who for a very long time thought that Gaza Strip wasn't a territory, but rather some kind of a refinery because in Russian it is spelled and pronounced as a "Sector of Gas". 🤷 True story.

I think it's been enough time, so I just have one request:
If you did end up trying out MyHouse.wad at my behest, but burned the house down & ended up with it being sold then maybe... you can try again? Try a different approach, that sort of thing? https://x.com/dosnostalgic/status/1638342421988667393

All of it relates to the game. Some a more, some less. It's a bit of an ARG.

No, I don't see a problem. There are amazing horror games being released *all the time*. If the fate of the genre somehow actually depended on a remake of a 25 year old game, then I'd be worried.

If you install the fan patch it instantly becomes a better game. 🤷

I really don't care about game budgets. Budgets don't make interesting games.

 Sun Apr 30 10:41:37 +0000 2023

A remake of a quarter century old game by Bloober Team isn't aiming for high art, I hate to break it to you.

 Sun Apr 30 10:44:45 +0000 2023

Sure, if it succeeds there will be more remakes of 90s games because of it and Resident Evil. Oh boy, can't wait.

 Sun Apr 30 10:48:03 +0000 2023
