Eleven

From what I remember when I saw it with the directors they didn't really have any good for sympathy. They just wanted to have an interesting, focused story that follows the minds of the game developers more than it is about the games they are developing. It was a look at their daily struggles. This is why I always bring up that it makes them look human more than anything. They just seem like regular people who happen to be thrust into the public from time to time, or they do it themselves...

I would say the only real thing in there that really seemed like a grab for any sort of sympathy was Fish's "people say nasty things about me online" and "if I don't finish this game I'll kill myself" lines. The rest, I'll certianly agree on. Perhaps my dislike of the movie comes from my dislike of the games featured.

But...but...Super Meat Boy! Say what you want about Fish but c'mon, as far as actual game design goes, Ed McMillan has an undeniable talent. Being able die as much as you do in SMB and continuing to feel that it's your own inadequacy is a great accomplishment.
