    wait, it's kraft. Fuck let's go with kraft.

    Also Anti from my experience, American pepsi is better then american coke. Canadian Coke is better then Canadian pepsi and both American equivalents.

    True story.

    I was fucking amazed when I saw Vivienne eat Pringles and I saw that her hand could fit inside the can.

    I do not think there is enough meat about the topic to make it into an article. But as a question, what genre of media do you think is most similar to video games and why?

    I have My Own Opinions. But I am more curious about hearing other's thoughts rather than defend my own.

    That's a fairly broad question, are you thinking about how people experience media, the content of said media, etc?

    I am genuinely curious as to where you were going with this and why.

    There are strengths and weaknesses to say print, or film and similarities between them. Video games have their defining features. I am curious to what paralells people see between video games and other media.

    I see.

    The first thought that comes to mind is that video games involve you taking an active role in the story, even if you aren't making branching decisions, that alone makes it unique. But depending on the game elements from numerous types of media can appear, be it a simple cutscene or an in-game radio or readable books/codex, for example.

    Well I can tell you that we use a lot of film techniques when designing cutscenes and the like - things like left-to-right movement, deep versus shallow focus, etc. All things that have been designed over decades of film to evoke specific responses.

    When your game has elements that resemble other media, it is probably a Good Idea to incorporate stylistic themes and elements from those other works. Though I've had people tell me 'why not just make MOVIES, you HACK?' to which I respond by sobbing wildly.

    As a copy-editor (not real writing) who wants to move into speculative fiction (not real literature) my response is violence followed by sobbing

    Hello!

    I haven't been around much! Busy at work and busy at home!

    I've long since made peace with the fact that I basically want to write books with shotgun-wielding wizards. It is something I am entirely comfortable with.

    That's not to say I wouldn't write something more substantial, but it's not my top priority.

    well I've largely made peace with the fact that most of the things I want to write are superhero related

    though not pre-existing ones, oddly enough. I don't know what to do with them
