Innovation: It's Good.

-When your best is just too much-

Today's topic is, you guessed it, innovation, and a recent spurt of it in the game industry and Hollywood. Let's start with what innovation is. Innovation, in it's most basic form, is a new idea or a clever take on an old one. We've been seeing a lot of it over the years, mainly in the film industry. After all, who wouldn't want to see a movie about a killer leprechaun in Compton?

And as the years go by, we begin to see more and more innovation. In fact, we've been seeing a lot of innovation in games recently, with games like Bioshock pushing story and atmosphere eons forward. Plus theres everything coming out soon, like Fallout 3, Call of Duty 4, Burnout Paradise City, and many more. Game developers seem to be brimming with innovation, especially Japan.

And don't just think good innovation is just in good games. Good innovation can come in meh movies as well. Take Norbit for example. The story of a small, nervous man who has been forced to marry a...um, large madam by her three gangster brothers. Meanwhile, Norbit's childhood sweetheart returns, and he is forced to make a choice:Run away with his true love, or keep his limbs. Norbit shows loads of innovation, from the way the story is revealed, to the special makeup effects of Eddie Murphy's 20000000000 characters. The jokes are intelligent, the plot is fresh, and the characters are very deep.

Just kidding. Norbit is innovative because it teaches you how not to make a comedy. Or a movie, for that matter. That's all the time I have for now, so I hope you enjoyed this lesson in innovation. I sure have.
