I would also like to lose wight again and have a Game Grumps tee. Peanut butter out the jar is damn tempting though. The weekend birthday party (someone else's) that was just had in NOLA was not helpful.
I want to start listening to all the hit songs since my birth in 1990. Too bad there won't be as many sea changes during my lifetime in terms of music.
I just finished beating Mortal Kombat XL with all characters in Arcade mode, not all of them oday (probably around 5 left when I started), and yeah; games need to stop being a time suck. Then I got Yakuza 0 from Gamefly, and I think I'll end my subscription once August 5th rolls around. Well, 4th cause Friday.
Pacific Rim was fun. I saw it once in theaters, and was upset by some obnoxious teens behind me. The gold-obsessed Ron Perlman character was my favorite.
I still need to see Atomic Blonde and War for the Planet of the Apes.
Dunkirk was good, but I wish it spent more time fleshing out its characters, or just stuck with the people on the boat more often. It was great filmmaking, but I just couldn't attach myself to anything emotionally beyond a very basic, "I'm rooting for them to complete the rescue mission."
Is it a 3DS title?
1991 is Super Mario World. I have fond memories of TMNT at home and Lemmings (PC) when I had to stay home after school while my mom played free-of-charge IT help (she was the computer teacher), but come on. It's not even close. And this is coming from someone who would have chosen SF II: Turbo had it been released the same year.
Hell, for anyone that forgot to make their Chrono Crossing pick, just assume it's Super Mario World, I say.
I don't know that I've ever really cried for video game music, but I'll give you some that make me feel tingly?
3. Phendrana Drifts from Metroid Prime is a great song for alone time in the snow. I guess the loneliness of the ethereal-sounding track might get to me some day.
2. The opening theme from Metal Gear Solid 2 makes me cry (not really ... well, actually, it might have at some point, particularly the ending) cause it's beautiful and I miss it.
1. The menu music from Star Fox has always given me an eerie sense of loneliness. Looking at the space ship floating in space against a bunch of stars makes me question my significance in the universe.
Also, it sounds perfect for a character's death scene were they ever to do a movie. Here's an orchestral version that ironically removes those emotions for me:
And here's the much more ethereal (imo) original:
Just to be clear, I watched first couple eps of s1, so i have no idea who's been killed recently. Lol
I haven't seen TP, but I like David Lynch's style. I believe he directed quite a few House of Cards eps.
Edit: never mind, that was fincher. I thought Lynch was a bit too weird for HoC when I typed that. I've seen a couple Lynch movies, like The Fly and the one with James Woods and video tapes.
I watched the first couple GOT eps last week. I liked them.
I've always found AV Club to be way more up its own ass than Kotaku, but maybe that comparison causes me not to notice as much? And a LOT of Redditors I've read have similarly toxic attitudes, so I think it might depend more on the author?
*shrugs as if trying to start a shrugging contest, notices no one wants one, walks away, but then shrugs defiantly at the rest of the group, now in a cold and distant "beyond"*
