Yeh I didn't watch it all. Egoman and Superegoman might have put me off.Shadow Boxer wrote:Didn't watch the whole thing but it struck me as the most two dimensional and cliche characters ever.

Like TV show characters the more you watch/play the deeper the characters become. As I've said though its not the best story in a game but I thought a 7hr video of just story would put to bed the idea games aren't story based and are just action.
I bow down to thee oh great Nickman, the wisest of the wise, your political adroitness is unsurpassed, your sagacity is unmatched, your wisdom shines through on this forum amongst us mere mortals as bright as your scalp under the light of a full moon, never shall I doubt your analytical prowess again.

Re: Is television now the most creative medium?
As a few people have already highlighted, with the advent of HBO and Showtime we've seen American TV series improve, but I think it all started before that. Over in the UK we've seen good shows for years raised the bar, and they perfected the short-run of 6-12 episodes per season, as opposed to the 22-24 that the US required for network television. The US started to improve (slightly) around 15 years ago with shows like CSI that lifted the production values of TV drama, but it's the current crop like Breaking Bad, Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Sons Of Anarchy etc that have taken it to the next level.

Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.
