Bioshock, Assassins Creed, Uncharted, the list could go on about which video games would make amazing movies. They have all the plot twists, emotion driven characters and pulse pounding action need to become a hot summer blockbuster. We seem to forget that the gap between video games and movies is a little more complex and different then it would seem. Not only are they ending for most video games different the character arc takes multiple different paths depending on the players actions. Which brings up the sole reason why they would fail to achieve greatness. The player has it etched into his or her mind on what Jack from Bioshock looks like or why he's making his choices. The player has their own idea of why Commander Shepard spared one race by sacrificing another. Movies are driven by another force altogether then video games. The director and writer have come up with a path that they want their characters to follow. Cinema is driven even more then video games to make money and they will do this by any means even if it means not following true to the story you've come to adore. Movies are not bound by the video game plot and if they can get away with making changes to it then the plot and characters they will. The movie industry also have another challenge in that they will have two different audiences to attend to. The people who love the video game adapted movie as a video game and the otheres who haven ever played them. Lets face it, not everyone have played Mass Effect, or Gears of Wars. No matter how strange that may sound to us its true. Some people don't share the same passion that we do. So the movie makers have a choice they can stay true to the video game plot and characters and risk losing the audience who have never played the game or they can stray from the path and simplify the plot and characters to make it lore friendly to all. Hollywood has run out of ideas, its been a known fact for awhile now. So the eventual Halo movie everyone is asking for may eventually come to surface, but will it live up to the standards that we hold in our heads? Will it get the attention and starlight that we think it deserves? And thats the question that will make it almost impossible to have a successful movie adaptation of our favorite video games. The game is made for the player, to be played and controlled by the player, something that Hollywood has yet to understand.

So if you've trudged past the first blog post then I'm assuming you're wanting to know whose opinions and ideals you're going to be reading. Well you've just stepped into the mind of me. Mr. Rob as I'll call myself. I am a 19 year old writer and college student working two jobs to have money to blow it on stuff I don't really need. Now if you came from that forum post I made then you already know that I hate one of my jobs and the othere is pure heaven on earth. Now I'm going to college studying Athletic Training and already graduated Highschool with a minor in History so my second job at the local gym sits perfectly with me. My othere job which I'll admit I'm ashamed of having is hell with my boss being none other then Satan. Its the complete polar opposite of my job training people at the gym. I go from helping train and make people better physically to feeling like a kitten with a ball of yarn. When I'm not working I can usually be found either on the beach, (East Coast) or at the gym, or playing my trusty Xbox 360. Now at the forums I was asked multiple times if I was going to be "entertaining". My response to this is , if I pertain to you're likes and what you deem funny. Obviously a 30 year old man whose occupation is a killer whale trainer might not find my blog as entertaining as you fellow gamers and young adults. But I will do my very best to entertain my group of readers if I ever gain some. Another question that kinda bugged my on the forums is "why would we listen to another person complain?' Well sometimes I complain yes, but to say that's all I will be doing is an understatement. Like my first post said I will voice my opinion on everything, tell the world about my dream I had last night, and talk about why i think Dark Souls is such an interesting game. And sometimes I will complain, I mean who doesn't get pissed off or angry sometimes but you will find that I get pissed off at silly stuff such as waiting in lines, coconut vodka, my neighbor playing the drums at 12 at night etc. etc. So hopefully this a small introduction into my mindless thoughts and ramblings. Seeing as this is my first blog hopfeully you will see me go from **** blog writer to something better, maybe mediocre blog writer. I will probably post my first real entry tonight if I don't go see The Dark Knight Rises again for the second time. So thank you for you're invaluable time and hopefully we will get to know each other better as writer to audience.

I'm writing this with blood shocked eyes at 5a.m. in the morning off my small (in my hands) Droid Phone. I have once again failed to fall asleep at a reasonable time the night before and am now paying the price, insomnia! O well, ill get over it. So I've decided to join this site and actually write and attempt to start a blog. If any of you are unfortunate enough to actually start following it then so be it. I will rant from anything from video games, episodes of Breaking Bad, women, politics, movies and other things I thing are interesting. I'm not sure how this really works and I'm pretty sure it wasn't made for the writer, or Blogger, to be typing off his phone. I guess later today ill actually pull out my laptop and actually type a full entry of my interesting life. Probably give you a proper introduction on whose work you'll actually be reading. What I can promise is I will do my very best to entertain and provide you with fresh material. Which shouldn't be hard seeing as I'm an egotistical, mean spirited, womanizing , whiskey drinking, video game playing, young adult. Well I'm off to see if I can catch maybe at least 3 hours of sleep.
