I'm glad Tomb Raider is on Steam. I'm constantly blown away by it graphically. I enjoy the gameplay so far as well.
I'd love a PS4 version of The Last of Us, since I never owned a PS3 and that seems to be the game that defined many people's high opinion of that system last year.
You should, it's definitely one of the best soundtracks I've heard.
I think I like SSB and MP's themes the most of these because of cinematic feel, especially MP, which is my favorite on this list. FFVI is good too, it reminds me of Zelda, and you're right about DKC's relaxing beat being one of very few relaxed menu melodies that loop endlessly, yet don't really get annoying.
One of my favorite menu themes is this eerie, spacey one from Star Fox 64:
I agree they were showing the sad scene to bring about the memory, and I applaud Disney for not showing her final reaction as a happy one, but I think they left out her final reaction so they could make an argument that they made it ambiguous, but I still think they were trying to spin it positively. They didn't show her final reaction though, so your point is definitely as valid as mine, I'm just very skeptical.
As for Warrior Within, it's been long enough that I may even wind up agreeing with all the reviews I read about the combat system improving, but at the time it was too much change in the wrong direction tonally for me. It'd be interesting to see if my mind would change if I p[layed both again.
Interesting. Never heard of them before. This isn't stuff I'd listen to on a regular basis, but they have a good sound and I can't say I disagree with your review.
I could do without the rainbow string pubes, but there's a good beat and melody, so I'm down with the sound ... Mr. Brown ... d.
See, you didn't say that, that's an interesting thing to talk about. lol My friend Wes is a big Kierkegard fan. He's also a Buddhist. I assume I like Taoism, but I need to read more about it. lol
Well, if you haven't paid to see The Conjuring, you've been managing your money somehow, so don't get discouraged. lol
I liked it more than most horror films. I'm not really a horror fan, but I like the slow burners that also work as dramas. It reminded me of The Exorcist in many ways.
They improved on the book, which is my least favorite of the book trilogy, so I was impressed. I didn't mind the ending. I was expecting it in both the book and movie. In fact, that was one of my favorite parts.
It's aboboisdaman that only wanted to see it for Amy Adams. She is hot in the movie, but there's a lot more going on. I loved the twisty-turns it took, and I was endeared to the crooked politician most of all. Go figure.
Oh God, I hated Warrior Within with a fiery passion when I rented it. I thought they watered down the art style to look more like Mortal Kombat, which matched the "gritty" new characters that replaced the likeable people and Disney-like cinematic nature of the first glorious entry ... but then those "dark" sequels did A LOT better financially, so I'm in the minority there. I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if I didn't. Had I not played the first, I probably would have liked it too to be honest, it wasn't bad I just hated the changes they made.
As for Travers, I disagree about the portrayal. She rolls her eyes a couple times, but I agree with Nostalgia Critic, they were definitely trying to portray it as if she enjoyed it overall, especially once she started crying and pretending she was bothered by something else. I'd like to hear that interview though, I'm a lot more interested in Travers and Poppins than I ever was before I saw Banks. I might actually watch Poppins the whole way through soon, which I never have.
I've gotten lazy with blogs due to a busy March as well.
I'd love to go to Amsterdam.
I saw Saving Mr. Banks on accident the other day and really enjoyed it. Two historical innacuracies: it was a song about an old lady feeding birds, not "Let's Go Fly A Kite" that endeared Travers to the idea of a musical, and Travers hated the film when she saw it at the premiere.
I need to get around to Hotline Miami and my GTA: Complete Pack. I hope you'll love PoP as much as I did when I played it on GCN when it first released.
Team Fortress 2 looks fun. I saw a few Game Grumps Animated with those models last night.
