It's like forum LARPing. Lightning bolt! Lighting bolt!

If nobody knows what LARP is, it's a lot like if you were playing chess with huge pieces.
However what they did in Role Models was LAIRE or something like that. That would almost be like going to a Renaissance Festival. Both are major geeks... no offense.

THE nWZo WILL NEVER DIIIIIE
Of course man, Carlin was a fucking God. He'll always be missed.
I don't see the point in it. It's just like Facebook status updates without the ability to take stupid quizzes about "Which Ninja Turtle Are You" and that kind of thing as far as I can tell.

I have a facebook and I barely use it so I don't see the point in getting a twitter if I'm probably not going to use it either.

If you want one then get one, don't let us stop you from getting one.
Twitter is interesting to find out if sports stars are doing shit during games, such as basketball lol. But other than that it is nothing great. Hey X, White Sox got Alex Rios off waivers, taking on his whole contract. Good or bad for the Pale Hose in your opinion? Personally I say good.
I realize I'm not X and you didn't ask me but, have you been keeping up with the development of the game adaptation? Looks fucking amazing.
Dante's Inferno? What about it? A classic work of art. They're making a game?
Lol, my thoughts exactly on the game. And okay, I was just wondering. It is one of my favorite stories, and a great allegory for life.

Yeah. It's not a faithful adaptation or anything. They turned Dante into a soldier from the crusades who invades hell to rescue Beatrice. Fights demons with a cross and a giant scythe.
Still though, there's some elements that hold to the poem. The depictions of the circles of hell are taken straight from the original work, they tried to stay true to the personalities of the characters, etc. It's about as loose an adaptation as you can get, but I still really dig the concept.
Yeah I just looked it up and saw that. I don't like the idea that Dante is a soldier trying to rescue anybody, because the only person he is trying to save is himself basically. But I guess it is probably the only way to go.
Also I just read they are attempting a movie as well. That could be interesting.
For a game adaptation, yeah, you're right, it's probably the only way to go. A film would work just fine staying a little more faithful to the poem though. I'd be thrilled to see a poem-to-film attempt. Not to say it'd be successful, but I'd certainly watch the attempt.
As for a poem-to-game-to-film adaptation? No thanks. That's just getting too far removed.
Oh definitely. I am really hoping the film is going to be strictly poem to film. I would definitely go see it in theaters. Hopefully they would be able to truly integrate the allegory that goes on in the story. But it is self-explanatory basically so they wouldn't have to intentionally put it in, just make it true to the story.
Also I would hope they don't go crazy with CGI effects, just use what is necessary for the story and make it the "one film of the year you have to see". I have high hopes for good books being made into films. I have high expectations that the 2 Harry Potter movies (7th being split in two) are not leaving too much out of the movie. Sorry for the tangent. High expectations on book to film adaptations though.

Fratelli, I have a Twitter account. I love it, as I use it to keep in touch with Bif Naked, and Tara Spencer-Nairn. It's not for everybody though.
BTW, how are my nWZo brothers this fair day?
And a video game out of Dante's Inferno? As in, part of the Divine Comedies? And they bastardized perhaps one of the most important literary works of all times? Is nothing sacred?
Oh, and I went ahead and ordered a Bobby Orr Bruins jersey. Can't wait for it to get here.
