Episode 184 - Footage Not Found

HWIDG would like to formally apologize for 2020. We might have said some things about 2019 last year that were a bit derogatory, and clearly they have taken it out on the rest of the world. In these trying times, we here at HWIDG can only hope that things get better this year with say, maybe, an alien invasion? That would be pretty cool. Zombies are played out, so that's off the list. D.B. Cooper! How about that! Let's finally get that one over with. Maybe the Moon can crack and give us all magic powers? Yeah, that sounds nice. I call teleportation, you can have:* Gaslighting* Missing Passages* Modernizing Films* Water LevelsGaslighting is like a sinister version of the Mandela Effect. At first you're adamant that what you know to be right is right, right? Of course, it's been like that for years, how could they have changed it? But they never changed it. They had to have changed it! They didn't. They didn't? No, you've been wrong your whole life. I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING CRAZY. Now imagine if the news did this, but no one cared.In days of yore, books were small. Novels of the day might as well have been the length of a decently large Twitter chain. Large tomes were reserved for medical texts, dictionaries, and the like. But once printing was sufficiently affordable, and the masses learned to read, 'epics' became epicly large! So in this day and age of thousand-page book quadrilogies, it seems a bit odd to leave out large chunks of story that the reader might want! They're already invested in your world, your characters, your voice! If they're reading the second volume of your series, they like you! What's another hundred or two pages?Imagine if you got a "C" on a History paper. You work on it all night, picking and prodding at it, editing and assembling, and when it's done, it's done, you've got to turn it in. Could you have started earlier? Of course. There's a dozen things you would change, but at a certain point, it's done. If you went home after receiving your grade, made vast changes to it, and turned it back in the next day, your teacher might as well slap you right in the face. Changing it after the fact wont change your score, all it'll do is make the teacher think lesser of you.Water. We need it. Gots to have it, or we die. Which is funny, because in most games water is the enemy. Big 'ol lake? You'll insta-drown, or you're shark bait. How many times are we going to lower the water level of a room so we can finally get into it? Hell, Fallout will straight up murder you for drinking the wrong kind of water. But worst of all? Worst of all is when they give you a scuba suit/magical water amulet/nothing at all and expect you to navigate underwater corridors with the grace of a stoned elephant. Please, game develpers, I beg of you, delete all of your water assets, for the betterment of mankind.All this and more on this week’s episode!
