"The first Star Trek movie, not a very strong showing, was emulating 2001: Space Odyssey."

What? Stanley Kubrick would be rolling in his fucking grave if he heard that.

He never said it was a successful emulation (quite the contrary...).

The film wasn't made about 20 years before he died. He most likely knew about it already.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

He was talking about success. There is critical success and commercial success. We all know that Malstrom hates the critics, so which could it be?

Commercial succes.

A classic game that sells forever is the ultimate in commercial success.

That doesn't mean it's the only kind, though...

True, but it's the only kind Malstrom was after in his theory...

I'm still not 100% convinced that's actually the case. Even if it was, though, it seems like he's limiting himself far too much in his analysis. A "go for broke everytime!" strategy really only has one long-term outcome.

No, wait, I just remembered Blizzard. Hmm...I'll get back to you.
