QUOTED FOR TRUTH - Bitmob, Jason Lomberg: Video-game movies and the hypocrites who reward mediocrity [June 17th, 2011]
I’ve been saying exactly this for years. The epitome of this, to me, is when New Line snapped up the movie rights to Gears of War. Honest to Glod, Gears of fucking War, a game constructed almost entirely of plot points, characters and narrative borrowed entirely from popular films in the scifi-action genre. The idea of turning Gears into a movie is such a preposterous one that my brain literally cannot fathom how anybody outside of the guys at The Asylum would think it anything other than a terrible, terrible idea.
But a Gears movie would probably make bank. Why? For the reasons outlined in Jason’s article - we trash game movies, but we flock to the theaters to see them. Why do we do that? Some misguided sense of loyalty? Fuck, I don’t know.

My girlfriend had something of a small fit upon seeing these. Y’see, this is essentially Portal 2-branded Smart Mass, which is ThinkGeek’s own take on Silly Putty. We bought some a few months back because we had a gift certificate for the company. Now she laments not holding out for this product nobody knew was coming.
She grabbed my face with her hands, and shrieked with sorrow. Her eyes opened wide, like gaping voids into a world of loss, and sorrow, and lost opportunity.
Or something.
