It’s okay not to anticipate the Spanish Inquisition

For the longest time, individuals have criticized video video games for deriving an excessive amount of from Hollywood. It’s true. We all know Strong Snake’s design from the unique Metallic Gear is a copy-pasted Kyle Reese from Terminator. We additionally know Strong Snake’s look from MGS 2 is Snake Plissken from Escape From New York. Nonetheless, the tides are altering.

Current years have supplied a library of cases of Hollywood taking quite a lot of inspiration from video video games — even when it makes zero sense. Twitter consumer @DesFleurBleues found a scene within the new Russell Crowe movie The Pope’s Exorcist that makes an attempt to make a Spanish Inquisition reference. Courageous effort, however the movie finally ends up by accident displaying the image of a distinct, completely made-up Inquisition from the Dragon Age collection.

Possibly that is the work of the particular Satan, however we must always think about different prospects. Is that this what you get whenever you put AI accountable for issues? Is that this what you get when your complete analysis division is only one man googling the phrase “Inquisition”? How come a celebration of heroes from a extremely profitable online game garnered extra search engine love than an old-timey, torture-happy group?
