They were the ones who done goofed. It's not like Kotaku secretly forced them all to sign a contract making them think they could go and make a game because of a) money, b) delusion, and c) nothing else.

People are quick to point fingers when the shit hits the fan.

This one has a valid message though. It's not Rock Simulator 2014.

"... Where new ideas are nonexistent and lame trends are dragged to death."

Ja Deutschland!

The problem with most sci-fi is that it never seems as unknowably far out as I'm sure it's going to be. We just can't know what those damned kids will come up with next.

"Wait; you 'listen' to music? What is this, 2030? Yeah, download an mp3 for me, gramps."

Samsung? Don't they know that Microsoft phones sell better?

Compare a modern military base to a Revolutionary War-era one and you have this. People often forget just how quickly technology has progressed over the years.

It's a trap?

"Heh. 'Duty'."

The power of Christ compels it.

Me too. While the Empire is as much the British Empire as the Nazi Reich, it's pretty obvious (to the point of annoyance at a seeming lack of, you know, creative innovation) as to whom Lucas based them on.

The strange thing for me will be being an elderly person "in the future". I'm sure I'll seem just as backwards and technologically useless as some of our present analogues.

Still. It's practically portable quantum space magic compared to what he had even a century or two ago. People used to wonder what would happen to the human body if it traveled faster than a few dozen miles-per-hour.

Anything come to mind? I'm on the fence about it so far.

Interesting. I'd love to hear your opinion on why it's crap. I think it's a fantastic example of low-key "pedestrian" pseudo-horror that deals with some legitimately ambiguous themes.

Agreed. When it stopped trying to be The Office and was, simply, The Office it did quite well for itself. I'm happy it didn't show up on this list, as I think it's one of the few crossovers that actually improved on the source material.

The American version of Let the Right One In isn't bad as its own thing, but I didn't find it anywhere near as compelling as the Scandinavian original. It's just not as dark and ambiguous.

The guy's name is Dante Knoxx? Well, if this whole "games developer" thing doesn't work out, I foresee a promising career in adult films.
