We've all made jokes about Hollywood doing film adaptations of Tetris, or Minesweeper. But this is nearly as bad: in 2011 they're really going to release a film adaptation of the game "Battleship".
You know, I think that the best version of Battleship I ever played was the mini-game of it that was included in "Sam 'n Max Hit the Road". Instead of ships, the targets were things like a car pulling a trailer house. And you played against Max.
There's a new Sam 'n Max game series out now. Reportedly it retains the same kind of wry humorous esthetic. But I can't bring myself to try it, because it uses different voice talent.
The original Max has since done very well. Not too surprising, because he really is good. But maybe he wanted too much money. Or maybe he was too busy. Anyway, I just can't imagine that character with a different voice.

Enclose all spoilers in spoiler tags:

Spoilers which are not properly tagged will be ruthlessly deleted on sight.
Also, I hate unsolicited suggestions and advice. (Even when you think you're being funny.)
At Chizumatic, we take pride in being incomplete, incorrect, inconsistent, and unfair. We do all of them deliberately.
