I worked in the games industry for a stint. Five out of every four people smoked weed. Because for every person who didn't, there was that one guy who REALLY did.

How the fuck else are you supposed to make games about slaying dragons and defending extra-terrestrial Earth colonies from fungal-based zombie invasions? Somebody's gotta be high to come up with that somewhere in the development pipeline.

And for that matter. You know that scene at the end of Big Hero 6 where he goes through the portal? And the surreal bleeding colors of the infinite void?

I know -- KNOW -- whoever worked on the Environment Art for that scene has done mushrooms, LSD, or both. Because that's the only way you truly know what that sensation looks like, IMHO. And the way they were able to capture it in 3D animation was spectacular. Big Hero 6 is just Pixar showing off art ability, if you ask me, since it was a licensed IP and they didn't have to work too hard on characters and plot.

But I digress.
