The Storytelling Dream-Thief: The Science of Evil and Dragon Ball Z
http://storytellingdream-thief.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-science-of-evil-and-dragon-ball-z.html
Picking apart the things you love one plot point at a time. Thursday, July 26, 2012. The Science of Evil and Dragon Ball Z. Count Rugen: "Have you been chasing me your whole life, only to fail now? I think that's the worst thing I've ever heard. How marvelous.". I'm currently reading The Science of Evil, by Simon Baron-Cohen, on how empathy affects our everyday lives. He seeks to bring a scientific view to human cruelty, and so far, is succeeding in convincing me. Then things get nasty. But, most of all,...

The Storytelling Dream-Thief: In slight defence of Hitman: Absolution
http://storytellingdream-thief.blogspot.com/2012/06/in-slight-defence-of-hitman-absolution.html
Picking apart the things you love one plot point at a time. Monday, June 18, 2012. In slight defence of Hitman: Absolution. I wanted to reiterate, for those who don't know me, that I have no problem with the Hitman team, or even the cinematic team that created the videos that have caused so much discussion. To that end, I would like you to consider the following:. Here is a still from the much-beleaguered S&M nuns trailer:. Yeah, that's not cool. They have the same facial expression. Boob them to death?

The Storytelling Dream-Thief: August 2011
http://storytellingdream-thief.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Picking apart the things you love one plot point at a time. Tuesday, August 16, 2011. Why Event Horizon is one man's fight against his moral upbringing. And why Dr. Weir is sitting in a padded cell, cackling maniacally. I know I'm a bit behind the times - 14 years, actually - but I just watched Event Horizon. Today My goodness. Does that movie have an R18 rating? So, to cut a long story short, she killed herself because he was too engrossed in his work. His work was apparently this experimental jump ...

The Storytelling Dream-Thief: Deus Ex and Memories of Love
http://storytellingdream-thief.blogspot.com/2012/07/deus-ex-and-memories-of-love.html
Picking apart the things you love one plot point at a time. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Deus Ex and Memories of Love. Why is it that these figures are so tragic? Surely they're happier in the worlds where their sons are alive and the boy they rescued is still whole. How can it be that we mourn them while they live, alone and alive in the memories that sustain them? So what's this all about, then? This is the blog of one Leanne C. Taylor, Games Writer. Recently Finished Working On:. Option D: Skip Everything.

The Storytelling Dream-Thief: September 2011
http://storytellingdream-thief.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Picking apart the things you love one plot point at a time. Thursday, September 8, 2011. Splice (2009) - Freud is to blame for GM. Oh dear. We just watched Splice. First: don't. Second: spoilers. There are just so many things wrong with this moralistic tale of 'what has science done? 1 If you're a woman who doesn't want to have a normal, biological child, there's something wrong with you. 2 An abusive past will ALWAYS transfer into how you treat your own children. 7 Men are predators. Freud seems to have...

The Storytelling Dream-Thief: December 2011
http://storytellingdream-thief.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Picking apart the things you love one plot point at a time. Friday, December 23, 2011. Self-reporting in the interests of transparency. Of course, this entire test is self-reported, but in the interests of my previous post, my scale on Baron-Cohen's empathy test. So I'm at the top of the bell curve, nyah nyah. :P Post your scores in the comments, if you like. The Sociopath next Door or the Sociopath Within? What makes someone a good listener, apart from training? So how can you tell if you're a sociopath?
