I liked that trailer a lot. And I thought the trailer made it pretty obvious that a dog goes missing, and then weird shit happens.

They're all like "I'm narratively uninteresting and hate native americans!"
I don't really like the idea of a Zelda reimagining. Yeah, the games could probably use an overhaul but nothing too drastic.

Very, very few had twists. North By Northwest, M for Murder, The Birds, Strangers on a Train, etc. They are exciting, take turns and go unexpected places, but they don't employ plot twists.
And the MacGuffin is specifically so you can focus on non-story elements, that's why it's abstract.

MGS was never really about a story as such, it's very Hitchcock like in the process (twist take precedence) but unlike hitchcock content matter only as allegories, the story does not make sense as a story, it make sense as a symbol.
I'm still playing through MGS 1 so I'm going to ignore this whole thread to be a asshole film nerd and say you know nothing of Hitchcock. Hitchcock focused on characters and emotions, never plots or plot twists. Whenever a twist was employed it wasn't to further the plot but to further a character (ie the end of Psycho isn't to fuck with the audience but to reveal a part of Norman Bates).

I missed the Tigcast, but I love podcasts so I can't wait to hear it! If you want someone who hasn't played an indie game in half a year and hasn't ever come anywhere close to making a game, but is kind of funny, I'd totally do it.

Is there mainstream stencil work? Sephard Fairey, I guess.
