Ellen McLain’s commentary from my trivia playthrough
#She's so cute <3#WPP#Portal#Ellen McLain#If you haven't played through the audio commentary I would Absolutely recommend it it is So fun#I clicked out of curiosity - kind of just expecting like a movie's audio commentary y'know? Like a video that highlighted specific scenes#No it's just the whole game again but with trivia pop-ups! I love that!!#It reminded me so much of like trivia track or the pop up fun facts from special editions of movies I would watch as a kid#But you can play through them!! You have to click on them and they spin! I love that!!!#I always love hearing the design and development process - fascinating how the playtesters reacted to this new game!#We take it for granted now but yeah I imagine it would've been very confusing at the time#And I was like ''Well it was such a small team and Ms. McLain was such a large part of it - surely she'll have a few bubbles?''#She does lol - as soon as I got to her first one (it was a slow burn! They buried the lead with her lol I'm already invested!) I had to go#I saved-quit the game out of sheer excitement and giddiness lol I had to sleep on it before I was ready to come back#It is so cool to hear her natural voice ah <3 And the kinds of direction she was given! Other bubbles also talk about her vocal direction :)#Very cool! I wonder what TTS they used for reference :0#But to hear her real laugh without the audio processing over and and she still sounds like GLaDOS! I mean of course she does but just jfdksl#That's /her/ laugh! They share a laugh! It's a very similar laugh!!#Not to mention her talking about wanting to play and just fdskalfd they clearly did such a good job with her performance and ahhh#It's too cute it's all too cute sharing a room with GLaDOS while her voice actor talks about making a cake to share with her friends stopppp#I am so enamoured <3#I also took a bunch of screenshots of GLaDOS still shit-talking while she was being destroyed lol#Actually beat the ending in one try this time :P I ran out of time the last time pfft#But now I've beaten it twice in as many days :D Although I did start it the first time several days ago - but I beat it again quickly!#Has me all the more itching to replay 2 ♪#WPVG

in your post about jttw 1986 you said "okay its not the best version but it still one of the greats" is there another version that you personally feel is the "best"? (i know thats all a matter of opinion! maybe my question should instead be what versions do you like the best?)
Well, I mean that more as I would recommend 1986 to any Journey to the West FAN but I can't recommend to it just anyone really.
Because it is one of the best. If not the best. Literally paved the way for so much more media to be made due to its influence and because of it, we have so much more adoptions.
But also... it's very 80s. Which is the best way I can describe why people might not enjoy it if they aren't already interested in Xiyouji.
It's very exaggerated in humorous ways don't get me wrong and I love and adore it with all my heart. I just know that a lot of people don't appeal to that kind of humor or are willing to sit through the slower scenes as they are taking more pauses to set the scenes.
But the cast is an all-star group and honestly, they are... perfect.
Liu Xiao Ling Tong set the standard of what a Sun Wukong actor should be. Both human but monkey. Respectable but also mischivious. A combination where he put his whole body into the performance and utterly sold every scene that not once did I think I was looking at a man in a monkey suit. I was looking a Sun Wukong.
So I would say, it's is the best but also I can't just suggest to anyone starting out Xiyouji unless they really say "I want an accurate retelling of the novel." And while I know 1986 isn't a one-to-one it is fairly loyal to the source material
Personally, when I try to get friends into JTTW material I suggest the 1996 tv show as that does have more entertaining moments and very emotionally driven character scenes. Or if they are interested more in animation I suggest Hero is Back or Monkey King Reborn to at least get their feet wet into the story and maybe push for the 1999 tv series as well. And if they really enjoyed that stuff then I would suggest Westward the anime as that requires prior knowledge of Xiyouji to really understand it.
I haven't seen all JTTW material, of course not, but there are so many goods ones out there that I think anyone can find a JTTW media they can enjoy to their tastes.

might have azure’s werewolfism be like it is in my jackaby au, where he can push off the transformation, at the risk of adverse effects (such as fever, general aches and pains, and in particularly rough situations, uncontrolled shifting). important because he gets the itch to turn right before his group goes on stage and he’s like “…hm. this is not good… 🫰🏻”

the anger at the concept of tom cruise potentially receiving an oscar nomination for maverick just because it’s not the kind of performance the academy usually recognizes is so funny to me because if anything it’s FASCINATING that he and maverick keep getting noms and wins despite his complete refusal to play the awards campaign game

yknow what bugs me is when ppls criticism of YA media boils down to them just not knowing how teenage crushes work
#'bella being depressed because edward wasnt at school is unhealthy obsession' no that's called having a crush#'him asking her out by them hearing a rumor saying theyre dating and bella going 'what should i say' +him responding 'well i guess you could#tell them yes. yknow just because its easier' is lame and boring' are you kidding me i ate that shit up at that age#when two shy awkward people flirt thats how you end up in a relationship is you both kind of just sidle your way up to it#and i dont even feel like that one contributes to like 'things abt him that arent necessarily red flags on their own but as a whole point to#bad things' like. from what i gathered feom the movie bella did not seem like the type to like some big first move#like. shes an emo bruh girl. if it wasnt some sort of edgy teenage heartthrob performance then shed just brush him off like#every other Conventionally Attractive Dude™ falling all over her#ppl keep acting like her not going for every other dude who wants her is a character flaw or bad writing but. like#literally just have you ever met a depressed teenage girl.#shes Not Like Other Girls™ and finds regular guys who express emotions in regular ways boring#her wanting him over every other bland boring safe guy she could have in an instant isnt a plot hole‚ its characterization#also i disagree with the vibe that she's just a blank slate like. as someone who was a depressed teenage girl#she didn't come across as blank to me#she came across as. depressed and emo and trying so very hard to look cool and mysterious at all times and had#spent her life up to that point praying to find out magic was real and could whisk her away into a life of adventure and romance and drama#you look me in the eyes and tell me that girl didn't spend middle school chewing through every book she could get her hands on#as fast as possible.#idk#origibberish

In turn, Randall squeezed her hand back, as he drew in a deep breath. Despite his best efforts, clinging to the notion that his parents would at the very least be understanding once everything was laid out on the table for them, seeing that Emily really meant him no harm and that they truly were in love, there was no denying that growing cold pit in the bottom of his stomach, worsened only by her suggestion. A part of him sort of wanted to (however lamely) protest, instead suggest they save it for another day, and just enjoy themselves for now...
...he knew, in his heart, she was right. They would have to tell them at some point, and it was better to do it now rather than later; Randall had never been one keen to lie to his parents, and he knew the guilt of keeping such a massive secret from them would eat him up from the inside out. Thus, it was just better to get it out of the way-for both his and Emily's ease of mind.
"You're right," he sighed, as he brought her closer, wrapping his arm around her as he nodded, "They...they do deserve to know. I'll, uh...I'll give them a call in a little while, tell 'em when I'll be home, and that you'll be with me. We'll...we'll tell them together."
He punctuated this with another loving kiss, this one pressed to her cheek as he reassured her, "It'll be alright, Emily."

in other news. possession (1981) is kind of an incoherent mess and i wish it had dug more into gender shit but also. it fucks SEVERELY and is one of the simply most entertaining horror movies i've watched in a while
