I once had a roommate who would get so excited about sleeping, he would giggle himself to sleep (I promise it's true). The guy who shared the room often had to ask him to giggle quieter, because it would keep him up.
In The Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, starring Jason Statham and Ron Perlman. I saw it in theaters. When the evil army started loading their ninja turtle orcs into the catapults, setting them on fire, and launching them over Definitely-Not-Helm's-Deep, the audience started cracking up and openly making fun of it. It was a terrible movie.
This is the only movie series that legitimately made me mad. The book seemed so simple to adapt to the screen. Just follow the book, with a little cut out to help with screen time, and watch the money roll in. Instead, we got one of the worst book adaptations Hollywood's ever seen.
I prefer the pigpen cipher. It's quick to learn and I've never met another person who saw it and knew what it was. I used it on notes that I passed to my girlfriend in class because teachers couldn't read it.
The Uncharted series isn't really my jam, but I can still relate. Halo 4 has those completely unnecessary quick time events and it's very jarring. I'm so glad we've moved away from this fad.
This also comes back to the "why?" game so many kids play. Parents get annoyed by it, but are they really annoyed at the game or their lack of knowledge depth?
I used to think this as well, until I had a three-year-old. One day she yelled under the bathroom door, "WHY ARE YOU POOPING??" I've realized that young kids may ask "why" more often to annoy and test social boundaries instead of actually trying to learn something. When she does ask "why" in order to learn, it's fun explaining and teaching her. But it's not as often as I thought it would be.
A few months ago, I was outside blowing bubbles with my 4 year old. She moved on to something else, but I kept it up for a while. I forgot how fun it is to watch them fly off and see how far they go!
It'll be interesting to see if Meta can convert enough users to Threads for it to be a lasting platform. As much as I don't like Meta, they're in the best position to take over this social space with the most resources to do it. Especially while Twitter is laughably bad right now.
