You know I hardly ever watch any movies or TV shows unless I'm stuck watching them with my brother and dad. I watch speedrunning quite often.

But unless it's a game I've played before and really enjoyed like Dark Souls, I don't watch many modern speedrunning and prefer watching people who were too young to have played the games just totally obliterate the 8bit and 16bit games my brothers and I grew up with.

Castlevania NES in 10:45 seconds *World Record*

Super Mario Bros. NES in 4:54.798 seconds *World Record*

(In Super Mario Bros, the go down to 3 digits past the second because we're just about one step away from having the Perfect Game. This is a feat that is not possible on most other games because there is no Random Number Generators in SMB, so the game plays exactly the same every time you play it.).

I wouldn't watch these on Twitch. Not just because Twitch is cancer, but in order to get these world records, these people will play the game tens of thousands of times, and most false starts end up with a reset within the first few levels. In fact, you can see in this video that it was Niftski's 15,285th attempt, which is actually quite good because I've seen runners well into the 30 and 40 thousands on attempts. I couldn't think of many things more boring to watch than resetting the game a billion times except for what Hollywood puts out today.

I actually prefer to watch them during competitions when two runners are racing against each other. These almost never result in a world record, but I find it a lot more fun to watch. There have been one or two occasions where a runner was able to get a world record on a game in front of a live audience during a race and the crowd goes nuts.

I think my favorite runs to watch are Zelda II (NES) randomizer tournaments. Some genius figured out how to randomize almost everything in that game, and they've got a real tight community. The top tier runners in that game have phenomenal skills. They've got some entertaining commentators for the matches too.

I feel these days the writing is sometimes way better in a video game than a movie, what a strange time

HBO is a big studio that can adapt from one media medium into a another type of media medium and Film producers and Hollywood studios have made movies and shows based on video games since the 90s. Super Mario Bros is dumb but a very fun movie by Buena Vista Pictures, Tomb Raider had a big box office Sonic the Hedgehog made 400 Million bucks. There is also a genre of Strategy, virtual world exploration, survival horror, action-adventure game, fantasy scifi, investigative puzzle story telling video game. Sony a tech, music and video game company and multinational conglomerate from Japan already showed it could make money with Stuart Little. Gozilla and Spider-Man movies. Hollywood they have already made almost very superhero comicbook film which can be made live action television TV series. People still want entertainment and the show was the second-biggest for HBO since 2010.

Some of the bad guys are people 'zombies' or Firefly Reavers infected by a mutated fungus, it is a post apocalypse world with difficult Human interaction sometimes the worst are humans themselves.

Maybe its even a scifi Western?

I did not play this game but would argue the game is more violent and creepy especially as you interact with a virtual world, non-player NPCs controlled by a computer software but 'human like' and you moving a character around makes a game more creepy.

Yeah. And TLOU 2 got perfect 100% and 10/10 ratings from nearly every shill access media website and magazine when it came out, with a lot of them claiming that it was the best video game ever made. Only after the game wasn't new anymore did you get a few detractors that lowered the ultimate Critic score to 93% on Metacritic. The ultimate audience score was a 5.8.

So this is not the first video game to tv show at all, the Canadians got there way back in 1990 with a thing called 'ManiacMansion' the TV series, it looks like a spooky family comedy if that makes sense but I do not watch sitcoms, especially old ones and I have not played the game, there may have been other games remade as tv shows before this?

I think its unfair to call it a 'zombie' thing it looks more like 'The Road' or 'Children of Men'

During a cataclysm, a full on apocalpse the most important thing for writers is to make effort to be the most gay of the diversity of the lebos of homosexuals, if there is a world ending event the most important thing is for hollyweirdos to have their 'progressive' STI STD disease spreading LGBT stance.
