Shadow of the Colossus To Become a Movie
Sockatume writes "SCE's critically acclaimed Shadow of the Colossus is set to become a feature film. The cult boss-rush game will be adapted by Justin Marks, who also wrote the recent Chun-Li movie. A friend of the writer reports that the studio hopes to turn it into an LotR-style fantasy blockbuster, expanding upon the side characters in the original game's minimalistic and solitary storyline. This won't be the game's first trip to Hollywood, however. 2007's Reign Over Me featured characters playing the game, at the suggestion of editor Jeremy Roush."
From reading that the game would be a movie to reading who was writing it; that is the biggest smile to terror-frown conversion I've ever had. I think I pulled a muscle...
Demented But Determined.
Let me help with that.

Oh, well, I didn't realize a little skin ink made you a "massive fan."
... which turned out to be a lot more expensive than I had initially thought (stupid PETA). I have the first sigil painted on the hood of my car which also turned out to be expensive when a policeman decided it was an oversized advertisement for a game and fined me for not having the vehicle commercially registered. My license plate reads WANDER. I have painted the shadows of the colossi on the sides of my house. On weekends when I'm not at work, I only communicate in the made up language from the game. Also I have a blow up doll of Mono that I make love to every night.
You want to know what a real fan does? I have a horse in my backyard named Agro
Ball's in your court, "fan."
Then they can edit them all together in chronological order to create "The Colossico Saga"

You know, sometimes I can understand why all the "cool kids" want to beat the shit out of us dorks.
I wonder if he'll be tapped to do a World of Goo movie next...
It's just the ongoing Jock vs Nerd war. A few jocks ruin math by learning Algebra, so we ruin tattoos by getting video game themed ones.
Did you think guys driving crazy ass Civics with giant wings and shit on them REALLY thought they were cool? It was just some nerds shitting on the cool kids' muscle cars.
We do it all the time. Beer bashes were countered with wine tasting parties. Our love of video games was countered with the Madden series.
Way to carry the war banner AC! The nerds salute you!
I traded all my mod points for these magic beans.
EXT DAY WANDER: ARGO! (repeat throughout movie) The End
