Exactly what the title says. Here it is.

"Most games oppose these two concepts or rather, they develop them in turn: a cut scene to advance the narration, then an action scene, then another cut scene for the narration. The structure of this narrative process is very close to that of porn movies."

Huh, I never saw it that way. I guess I should watch more porn movies.

There's narration in pr0n movies?

the gnome · 06-21-2006, 06:02 AM

Of course there is. Problem is noone is paying attention...

Karmillo · 06-21-2006, 07:05 AM

Yeah theres plenty of naration in porn movies, the real problem is it never makes any sense.

Try wating a movie called 'Legend of the overfeind' ...God knows what the hell was going on in that movie

It's called "sex", adult people practice it occasionally.

EDIT: It seems it's some kind of anime? Hentai? Whatever... Now my joke is ruined, I hope you're happy.

Legend of the overfiend is an old manga film full of rape and violence. I wouldn't call it porn. You want porno with a narrative? Get "The DaVinci Load". It's absolute genius. Who'd have thought he painted the Mona Lisa using his own spunk

Sure is! "My name is Karl... I am an expert!" Karl Hungus, as seen in the fanatastic "Logjammin'".

What??

I was just continuing the discussion! Seriously, it's a great porno, not so much for the sex scenes but the story is frigging hilarious. As a major plus point, my gf now likes watching porno

So it was the vision of the director that totally ruined the story in the end and left a lasting impression, not the pressure from the publisher to ship it earlier. Interesting

At least he has enough balls to admit it.

Like, two.

I think.
