Uwe Boll Bites The Hand That Feeds
Chances are, if you’re a gamer, you have at least one reason to hate, or at the very least dislike, Uwe Boll. The man has done everything from making horrible movies based on games such as Bloodrayne, House of the Dead, and Alone in the Dark, to beating up film critics, and now he’s done even more to give us a reason to scorn him.
Recently Boll was on Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld on Fox News, and he had some pretty condemning remarks about our favorite hobby. In an attempt to defend his terrible movies, he had this to say:
“A lot of video games have no story. I did the movie House of the Dead and got bashed and I said, what were you expecting, Schindler’s List? …I don’t know what they were expecting if you make a movie based on an ego shooter where you kill ninety minutes of people non-stop.”
Ugh. Here we have a man who takes all of his “inspiration” (and I use the word very lightly) from games, and then turns around and slaps them in the face. I am becoming more and more convinced that Uwe Boll is not only a failure at making movies, but just completely a failure at life. When you can’t defend your works without resorting to petty excuses and mudslinging, then you should probably quit what you’re doing.

Here’s the video. The interviewer is a douchebag, he loves Uwe Boll and agrees with the bullshit he spouts.
FAUX news, whatdya expect?
I don’t really get why everybody is up in arms about this. He’s not saying that all games have no story, he’s saying that some games have no story. What was the story in House of the Dead? It doesn’t matter, because it’s about shooting zombies. The real issue is that he decides to make movies based off of games that have no story, not that he points out that the movies he makes are based off of games with no story.
He actually says ‘a lot’, and given the viewing audience IQ of Faux News, that in turn means ‘all of them’.
