Chefelf.com Night Life: Sinclair - Viewing Profile

I read the trade paperback* before I saw the movie, and I found the book was much better. And not just because I'm a jerk who would say that sort of thing anyway, but because the book really was more ambiguous, "gritty", etc. If you look at the movie, Evey is both more innocent (as she isn't trying to prostitute herself out the first time we see her) and stronger (I haven't read the TPB in a while, but Evey comes off as rather passive for quite a while). A career criminal who takes Evey in and sleeps with her, is replaced with her former boss, who is both gay and secretly against the government. A bunch of stuff goes missing, that makes the movie more black-and-white, and really rather more gentle, in a way.


*Isn't trade paperback the term for a collection of comics, and a graphic novel is something that was originally published all together? For example, V for Vendetta, the issues originally being published separately, is a trade paperback, whereas something like Maus (by Art Spiegelman), originally published in that format (actually, there are two volumes) is a graphic novel. Or at least that's how I understand it.

I played through all the SE games yesterday, and I'm still a bit confused. But in a good way, I suppose.

Because they don't talk, and neither do either of the Princes? :

Just played all the SE games. Best around 18 bucks Canadian and several hours I should have been doing essay research I've ever spent.

5DaS introduces things so incredibly well, and really is a damn good standalone game. 7DaS has a wonderful frantic feel at times, and really does well with introducing characters and making the ship feel like a real place. Trilby's Notes was still scary, even though I'd played it before. 6DaS was better the second time, and with all the commentary for the games, because I got more from it, understanding what was going on more.

I just finished playing all the special editions, using valuable time that should have gone towards working on stuff for university, but no matter. 6DaS is definitely better the second time. The commentary also improves things a lot.

I'm almost sure I'm less confused than I was before I played it a second time.
