Wat...

Today I have some tracks that I've already featured before...but it was a long time ago so I'm counting it.

Suckerpunch - Still one of my favourite movie soundtracks.
Guardians of the Galaxy - The version I had in my playlist got entirely muted because of one song. So here's a version with just that song muted. Crap I'm going to have the Pina Colada song stuck in my head.

Speaking of videos with copyright claims. I uploaded the exact same footage twice (one video is private and includes both LOTR and Incredibles from Extra Life while the other is split in two) and only got a copyright claim on one. The one that got the claim on it is the longer, private video. Wat. Whatever, no one's going to watch that version, but what did it claim you might ask? A 32 second clip of a song that was playing in the distant background that came from Fallout 4. Wat.

Wat.

Life is Strange Episode 4 - The track mixing in this version is pretty awful, but the quality otherwise is pretty good. I also love all the butthurt about the endings. People are upset that it wasn't a "happy" ending. While I like my happy endings sometimes, I don't want everything to be that way. Both endings had sadness in them, and in both instances Max learns/accepts something. If it had been perfect and wonderful I feel like that would have been a slap in the face and made the entire experience worthless. Tell me a good story and I'll take any ending.
Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring - Got to love a classic.
The Last Goodbye - Billy Boyd - Was a suggested video on LOTR FOTR.
Game of Thrones - Since Shauna and I have been watching it.


Played more SOMA with Shauna. I'm sad to say it's lost most of it's tension and horror due to a changing tone, but I don't mind the story and the atmosphere. It's a little heavy-handed with the symbolism and psychology, which makes it somewhat tiring. They seem to be dragging out one fairly simple theme out over the entire game. Whenever the monsters actually do show up, it is mildly frightening, but I don't get the terror that I had during the original Amnesia or Outlast. I'm not sure if that's what they were going for or not. It's like Amnesia (duh), mixed with Bioshock, mixed with Alien Isolation, mixed with Penumbra (also duh but kind of unfortunate).

I think the problem with it is everyone in this game is just so damn cheerful no matter what happens. There's no sense of isolation or loneliness. We had that at the beginning of the game when we didn't have a friend in our pocket, but now that we have her, it's like...well we aren't exactly alone are we? Even when we find out what happened to the world and our protagonist, there's no sense of urgency or self-preservation. There's just a little bit of a mystery of what's going on. I don't know. I don't hate the game, but it's certainly not anything mind-blowing. Maybe we'll be surprised.

Either way, well talk more about SOMA when we actually finish the game. I'm probably going to be pushing SOMA to the top of the list of our co-op LPS.

SOMA - Because it's a somewhat recent release.
Murdered: Soul Suspect - CAT.
Evil Within - I actually look forward to editing this. It's so awful.
Sherlock - This is the "I don't feel like editing anything else" project.
Bioshock Infinite - I should really just scrap this. The recordings are so messed up.
