3:37am: Uwe Boll: Don't Blame Me, Blame The Games!
I've seen this on Kotaku recently, one of the few gaming blogs that I read regularly, and I just had to post here about it a bit.

During a recent Fox News interview, Uwe Boll claims that the reason that gamers hate his movies isn't at all his fault, but that of the games that he adapts:

"A lot of video games have no story. I did the movie House of the Dead and got bashed and I said, what were you expecting, Schindler's List? I showed zombies chasing people and this is basically what the movie delivers. I don't know what they were expecting if you make a movie based on an ego shooter where you kill ninety minutes of people non-stop."

Pretty quickly it gets picked up by Joystiq and Kotaku, and the comments are, needless to say, not very pleasant.
Current Mood: *thud*
8:47pm: When Fanfic Writers Attack: The KH2 Fandom Wanks Again
It begins with [info]arson_attrition posting a a rant on khfanficrants about crappy made up last names in fanfiction, the offending name being "Roxas Key". She uses an example from this fic, which wasn't actually linked in the rant.

Of course, we now know what the fic is because the author shows up! Said author ([info]envyofthestage) is offended and decides to use this event to pimp her fic.

As you can see from the previous link, the original poster later amended her post with the remarks on being gay (and therefore eternally shunned, apparently) in Britain.

[info]envyofthestage then makes a post on her lj with her thoughts on yaoi the wank.

ETA: Now [info]arson_attrition is wanking in her own journal and has also gone in to make peace with the author of the original fic.
