Thanks. I kind of ran out of steam early in it because I realized that if I wrote anymore, I was going to spoil the game, so I compromised the writing in favor of not compromising the experience.
Which is dumb really, because only 10% of my readership even bothered to go through the whole thing, I'm sure, and maybe 1% of them will ever even see the game, let alone buy it. But I'd hate to take away from the whole thing. I mean that ending! and the secret ending, if you bother striving for it, is just *boggle* good.
My advice is to go in with low expectations. I don't regret my time spent in the theater, but it's not everything I wanted it to be. Have you read the book? It's incredibly true to it, which I think might be part of the problem. As much as I gripe whenever they change books for movie translation, movies and books are very different forms of media, and just translating straight from one to the other usually feels a bit lacking.

Wait a minute. Are you telling me my butt looks big in these pants?

same setup, except it's just a guy with a dog.
The man puts the dog on a stool, and asks him, "What's on top of a house?"
"Roof!"
"Right. And what's on the outside of a tree?"
"Bark!"
"And who's the greatest baseball player of all time?"
"Ruth!"
Bartender throws them out, dog says, "DiMaggio?"
All a matter of perspective.

As an aside, I loved your Braid writeup.

I'm looking forward to seeing Choke, but I'm scared it will be a disappointment.
