Hello, Destructoid! It's that wonderful time of the week! It's Friday!

The year is off to a good start! I landed a writing gig (thanks in no small part to the Hong Kong gig) o/ It's in Brazil, but the game (a mix of survival and merger) is mostly aimed at international audiences.

Films of the Week:
Neptune Frost: a kind of African cyberpunk that's so damn trippy. More complex than it should be, but good stuff.
Mars One: it's hard to find Brazilian films that I like (granted, I don't watch many, but most of them have a soap opera feel that I despise), but this one is an exception. Not City of God's level of greatness, but definitely a step in the right direction.
The Last of Us (Episode 1): Man, what to say about this premier. I don't care that I only saw the first episode, this is already the best video game adaptation in existence. The whole cast and crew understand the purpose of an adaptation: we don't want a carbon copy, we need something that grabs the core of the original material and translates it into the new medium. Everyone is perfect in their roles; they don't look very much like their in-game versions (which was the reason I wasn't vibing with Bella Ramsey before), but they beautifully incorporated the characters. I also loved the scenes they added, the scenes they removed, and the scenes they changed to fit this new narrative format.
