i definitely agree that there should be a sort of balance. it's like how in fahrenheit 451 characters got so lost in the interactive tv they were watching they stopped thinking and lost a sense of reality. while it is fun to play every once in a while, i think it should stay a special type thing. for me it would depend on if im in the mood for interactive content or not. personally, interactive content would be a rareity in my life but it is intresting to see a whole new way to consume television become popularized. also im really excited for the unbreakable kimmy schmidt interactive episode because i already love the show. its the same thing with bandersnatch. theres that foundation of linear tv that im attached to that makes the interactive episode so exciting. its fun, but it shouldn't be everything in television.

Great. So we introduced everyone to two concepts: 1. Video Games (Oldest - ID Software) 2. Parallel Universes (Most recent - Marvel)So with these two ideas in mind, we will start scripting TELEVISION to allow you to choose almost any reality possible within the scope of this script and all of the elements in its environment. Why does it feel like we're treating old things as new things these days? Its going to make watching a movie just annoying as trying to play a game by stepping on EVERY SINGLE TILE with EACH play through. Butterfly Effect of Chaos if you ask me. That's why Netflix had to invest into new Script Writing Methods/Algorithms/ One poor soul that has to keep track of all of it. I feel mostly mixed about this. Content with it already existing, confused by it being added to TV.

These will most likely fail, just like how every game fails to be adaptable to the main screen. They miss the mark why people enjoy them. People don't watch a great movie or TV show to interact. They want a great story. Either the interaction choices will be meaningless and novelty, or essentially you are leaving it up to the viewer to write the story. And 99% of us are not going to be as good as a professional writer/storyteller. Story driven games work because there are challenges neatly woven in. Even the least interactive walking simulators have some sort of puzzle to break up the flow, and games that have opted for illusionary interaction like QTEs have historically failed badly.

I really, REALLY, do not enjoy these Choose your own adventures. They feel gimmicky, and often times I'm wanting to unwind by being immersed in someone else's story. I don't want to have to make decisions about where the story goes. I guess some people enjoy it, but I'm getting the same over-sold vibes from this as I did when 3D-movies first came out. Execs/Producers who invested their names into a new thing, overselling it as something amazing, when everyone around them was simply going yea but, I'm not really that interested in this thing. Dunno? It has it's place I guess, but if I were you I wouldn't be investing anything real into this as being the next big anything.

There are some good ideas in choose your own adventure But The reason i dont play most RPGs is its like a slow movie And why Choose your own adventure lost popularity at my school was that it made it difficult to talk to others (no water cooler what happened in the last chapter) And an old joke about branch manager from the late George Carlin in contextWhat do you call a bunch of Irish men sitting around a pool patio furnitureWhat do you call an Irishman who runs into a brick wall Rick O'SheaWhat do you call an Irishman sitting in a tree with a briefcase branch managerBeing able to Rapid Fire off every ridiculous Irish joke has come in handy more than once.

I know this is not the point of the video but I loved choose your own adventure (CYOA) books. My English teacher in middle school and I had an argument (sorta) once when she said books were only written in first and third person. I told her that wasnt true because many CYOA books are written in second person and she got so upset about me contradicting her. that aside I love interactive storytelling. I personally find myself watching movies or tv shows wishing I could make other choices. and interactivity and the impact it makes on the story is a large part of what draws me to RPGs. I hope more media includes it in the future.

Honestly, I'm torn. I like the novelty of it, but I just really don't see it as for me personally. I find that I'm often disappointed by the decisions taken with mob based choices. And as for experiences where it's just myself, I'd much rather passively absorb a good story. Having said that, I can definitely understand where the dynamic nature of the experience would appeal to many. Regarding whether or not I see it taking off, I'm more in line with what the first guy said: Much like VR, I see it persisting, but not necessarily dominating.

They can have it. I like it in games but when I'm watching a movie I just want to watch it. If I wanted to be apart of the story I would have applied for the job and joined the production. I just graduated film school and I know exactly all that goes into making any content so I guess for ME I tend to want to sit back and appreciate someone else's hard work. Now if I hadn't gone to school for film I may have felt differently about it because one can't appropriate the work put into something if they aren't aware of it.

Hey Phil. I don't really like your opinion on many subjects and haven't seen a video of yours in a while, but what is coming your way from the NYT and many other news outlets is unfair. Even though you've been part of the problem in the past (e. g. the covington kids scandal) I don't wish this on you or anyone else. You're strong and you are loved by your audience, so hopefully your reputation isn't too tarnished. I hope you now see the media as the dangerous smear machine that it has turned into. Good luck.
