This makes me happy.

Now, I'm on of those people who likes old Relient K. So while I liked Forget and Not Slow Down, I liked albums like MMHMM and The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek much more. Nevertheless, I'll most likely still buy this one. Also, in what way is it different? Like, in an 80s-pop way?

Well that sucks. Hardly ever happens to me. Also, there's digital. I still get CDs because my car stereo is 15 years old.

Amazon, my friend. Unless that's where you tried, then nevermind.

Just to mess things up, I'll rate out of 10. 6.5/10. It's not that the music is bad, it's that it doesn't fit my personal taste. I just prefer something with more meat on it, if that makes sense. Also it drags on too long. Hyperactive - The Dollyrots

We Will Rise - Arch Enemy makes me laugh

Disappointed to find out that none of the links work in Archive. My nostalgia thirst cannot be quenched. *sadface*

Yeah, pretty incredible opening to an album as well. Great song.

Link it to yourself Stretch it like a birth squeeze The love for what you hide The bitterness inside Is growing like the new born

Helter Skelter. Ah, the novelty.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. I love Bioshock Infinite so much. I love Elizabeth. I think she's one of the best written characters out there. And the whole world is done very well. It was very ambitious to come up with a whole world and politics up in a city in the sky. But yeah, The Last of Us is perfect in nearly every way. The tone of oppressing depression is done perfectly. Towards the end I just wanted to run through levels because I cared for the characters so much and didn't want them to get hurt. And where Infinite has a couple really good characters, but every single character in The Last of Us is fleshed out and REALLY interesting. However, I must say that the last third of Infinite will take you for a ride. So you may change your mind. And yeah, Tomb Raider is an Uncharted copy-cat, but Uncharted is a Tomb Raider copy-cat. So there's that. And it's a good game, but I won't play it again after playing The Last of Us. The quality, characters, and amount of polish is just not there in Tomb Raider.

I too have heard many good things about Spec Ops. Lots of comparisons to Heart of Darkness. I'll have to play it one of these days.

I feel like Infinite is more ambitious in some aspects compared to The Last of Us. Whereas The Last of Us is sort of a mish-mash of things we've seen before, but done so perfectly that I don't mind. The one gameplay feature Infinite does better is companion AI. It was slightly annoying for Joel to be sneaking around Clickers while Ellie keeps running about and talking to him. Elizabeth in Infinite isn't perfect, but she feels more like an actual gameplay companion than Ellie. I can't go back and play Tomb Raider after playing The Last of Us, because they're similar in a lot of tonal ways, but Tomb Raider's characters are so underdeveloped in comparison. And yeah, immediately after I finished The Last of Us I told myself I would never play it again, because that would be a disservice to the narrative, but now I really want to play it again. It's just so good. It is the game that every other game from now on will be compared against.

Don't you worry It's just a phase you're going through Some day you'll know just what to do

I must say that when I played Bioshock Infinite, I thought that there was no way a better game could be made all year. But then I played The Last of Us. Holy cow! What an experience. I agree with everything you say. The characters just feel so honest. I never felt like Druckmann was copping out with his storytelling. I never felt cheated like I do in most stories and most video game stories because some characters make choices they have no reason to. Every part of the world of The Last of Us felt grounded to earth in reality and honesty. And then, of course, mix in the fact that the gameplay is very nearly flawless. I can honestly say that this is the best game I've ever played and is possibly even the best game ever made. I loved every moment of it. Also, dat ending.

Um... maybe? I that feel.

I'm doing ok. How about you?

I amazes me how many different X-Wing sets LEGO has been made and how many different times they have gotten the nose wrong. I guess that's what modding's for. Although, to be fair, everything else looks pretty dashing. -SZ-

I just re-watched The Terminal for the first time in about 9 years. I didn't realize that Catherine Zeta-Jones' character has such a depressing end to her story arc. I remembered it as a feel-good, chick-flick type movie. Now I feel all sad and stuff. Dang. -SZ-

lol I know right. Oh happy happy joy joy -SZ-

All righty

I'm sure we have, but I honestly can't remember where. And now I feel bad. *mopes* I had a different name back then Oh hai Laughin'Man I remember you. I think. My memory just ain't what it used to be. -SZ-

Wasn't that how Twilight was written? *buh-dum pish* No, seriously, I love short stories. Whenever I am not too lazy, I like writing them. They usually turn out weird. >.> -SZ-

Well, I guess that's better than dreaming about dreams within dreams within INCEPTION Also, I can't figure out how to edit my comment with a new quote. So I double commented. So shoot me. -SZ- Just quote it, write your response, then select all, copy, and paste into the previous comment. That seems like a weird workaround, but okay. I'm sure we have, but I honestly can't remember where. And now I feel bad. *mopes* Yeah, the title was a callback to that one semester I had on computer science. Man, I hated that class. Hi, I'm DeeVee, formerly Darth Vader, I run the blogs, and I merged your double comments because that's against the rules. Also, I like to build MOCs. Hi, DeeVee! Thanks for fixin' my comment. I use to build MOCs. Maybe I will again one day. I like to like your MOCs. I do the exact same thing. I have pretend-written about 20-some stories, and only really written about 5. Blarg. Too much brain-crack. G&T? *opens new tab* *still can't figure it out* I must not hang out there very often. Oh well. -SZ-
