Video Games and Music

Same! You kind of have to in order to blow up those pillars

Nah, I had basically no idea that fight was coming, I really thought I was getting out of there, so was totally unprepared and barrel-free at the time, but Lae'zel was able to dispatch the pillars shockingly quickly with the right weapon (I forget what). I had to do the whole thing legit - which was only enhanced by the music. It's definitely the best fight in the game though.

i mean...i grew up on video games. i don't even know where to start.

i guess the halo soundtrack would be a good place. ce was the first proper game i ever played, and the halo soundtracks have a legendary reputation (rightfully so). if i wanted to listed every song in those osts that wowed me i'd be writing a college thesis.

more recently i played through cultic, a wonderful homage to blood and resident evil and other such games. there's one moment in chapter 2 i don't want to spoil that ties in with the game's interlude but the song that plays during it really sells just how hype it really is:
i felt like GOD when this started playing. it's one of those.

for the exact opposite feeling there's
which depressed the hell out of me with the realization that i'd never be able to play the game blind again.

i could keep going for a while, probably, but i'm going to end this on the fact that i have a music document for the zeitgeist ap (since i want to run it some day) and most of the songs on it are from video games. take that how you will.

Ooooh wow I may have to get Cultic just on the strength of that.

Ooooh wow I may have to get Cultic just on the strength of that.

if you like boomer shooters and horror games i'd 100% recommend cultic. it hits the balance between the two EXTREMELY well. one of the best fps games i've played in a while.

be warned that every level in chapter 2 is HUGE. im talking 40 minutes to an hour minimum on your first run for each. they're generally paced well, but it's hard to get through it all in one sitting and it can be easy to get lost if you don't have a solid sense of direction.
