[quote name="motherfuckerfoodeater"][quote name="Roop"] The better question is, can games be litRAture? Y'know, the way prancy englishman pronounce literature? You can't really take Virginia Woolf's "To the Lighthouse" and make it into a movie. It's basically impossible. Too much goes on in people's head's, and all the action you could show would be boring. People may try, but film just can't capture Steinbeck's "The Sound and the Fury." Same problem, the action is boring, but the best part goes on in the character's heads. Point of view flies all over the place in these novels. Make it a film, there's too much left out. Try it as a play, and fail also, assholes.
