Today’s From the Console to the TV Station is a very special one, or it is to me, anyway. There is only one show up for discussion, but it is my favorite example of a game-to-TV adaptation in theory and in practice. It’s a show that many people watched as children, and one that people often forget was a game first. Hit the jump; what’s there may be a pleasant surprise....

Times are ruff I didn’t realizeThe Divisionhad dogs in it, let alone that they would poop (let alone that said poop would look likethat). I’m now imagining the conversations that presumably took place at Ubisoft leading up to this idea being formed, pitched, conceptualized, implemented, and refined. Zack says he didn’t see the poochduring his preview session, but he liked the online-centric survivalist shooter well enough. “Serviceable combat, an encyclopedia worth of customization, and cooperative elements are enough for me to want to jump back in with old friends,” he wrote....
