Description:

In this episode we break down the tragic relationship between film and gaming, and also dive into the storied lore of…story and gaming…

The main obstacle to a good video game adaptation is story... the tasks and challenges are simple but you have hours to fall in love with characters....and time? Time is not something you have a lot of in movies.

That could be why video games don’t make good movies. BUT is there a chance, that maybe with the success of The Witcher we’ll see more video game properties turned into TV shows? Who knows.

Also…here is a link to what many consider to be the first computer based a role playing game…it will have a lot more context once you listen to the show…https://ultima.fandom.com/wiki/Akalabeth
