Adaptation Decay

About Adaptation Decay

Are video game movies always bad? Is there nothing to love about old Nintendo cartoons? Are any video game comics worth reading? In this monthly premium show, Gary Butterfield and Kaye Ross look at all kinds of media derived from video games and take it apart, answering whether it's a good adaptation, and whether it's a good piece of art.

   [PREVIEW] Adaptation Decay 106: Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie

   Let's remember a time when YouTube didn't have a ton of people talking about shitty video games. Simpler times, times when a creator like AVGN was rare. This project was his lifetime dream, and it became a nightmare. James Rolfe is clearly not having any fun, and all we left is this artifact of broken dreams. Next month: WCG Ultimate Gamer

   [PREVIEW] Adaptation Decay 104: Fallout Season 1

   If any video game had enough room for a television adaptation, then it's definitely Fallout. Not directly adapting any of the stories from the game, the Fallout TV series takes many of the iconic ideas and character archetypes and creates it's own vision of the Wasteland. What we get is a love letter to one of the greatest video game series ever made. Next month: The first two episodes of Mutant League.

   [PREVIEW] Adaptation Decay 103: Hellraiser Hellworld

   Hellraiser Hellworld is a bad Hellraiser movie, but is it really a BAD movie? Well, yes, but it's still very funny. It's not the worst thing in the world. As an adaptation of the video game medium, it's real stupid. Next Month on Adaptation Decay: Fallout (Season 1)
