theMulticast: What Makes A Video Game Movie Work + Screw Next-Gen Consoles

Your favorite a-holes are back. This week we have to address our missed weeks. Apologies but it was Christmas. Do you hate baby Jesus? Cause I don't. The following week we got drunk. Which isn't really news but it happened. Deal with it! Tony gets a vagina, Matt has pleasant things to say about the new year, and Basher witnesses another stabbing. Merry times indeed.

Ubisoft did announce that they are heavily involved in Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell (you like that render of Tom Hardy above, right?) movies. One of those could work and be great. The other has a lot of competition in the genre. We talk about what makes a video game movie work and why we think they have been getting shafted by Hollywood.

Also, Microsoft may be teasing the new Xbox. That really ruffles our jimmies. A new Xbox makes us more angry than Sony's new patent blocking the play of used games.  Fret not, you insignificant worms, theMulticast will take Sony and Microsoft to task. Hell hath no fury like a podcast scorned. Did I mention that Tony had a sex change operation and there will totally be a three way?
