"You can't fix a broken heart in a couple of days, so bring it back or start anew" What a lyric, the whole song is excellent but that line in particular stands out as a great piece of songwriting. It fits the themes of the game, makes perfect sense to anyone unfamiliar with Bastion and has a...

I thought about the old accusations of repetition of lyrics and styles while listening to this and I finally have a view on them (though to be honest it never registered with me). I'm slightly plagiarizing the words of Iron Maidens guitarist here but here's my view: All of your songs are...

Anything by Dean Koontz... Anything. I tried reading "By the light of the moon" and it made my head hurt just how unengaging it was. I've never read a book that seemed like it was trying so hard to be labyrinthine and complicated while ultimately ending up boring. Also the latest atrocity by...

A little late to the party here I know but whatever. While I will admit that this song isn't my favourite of these it has one major thing going for it and that's in the vocals. Not so much the lead vocals, It was the chorus that let the song down a little for me, but rather that...

Lawrence... It's my middle name. Don't Judge me EDIT: On my second play through I called him Markus because I've always thought it was a cool name.

Cold chicken/turkey is godlike. As is cold Steak and Kidney pie... mmmm cold S&K

The western genre is a bit synonymous with the old spaghetti westerns, which are fun if you're in the right mindset but come across as a bit dated now though. For me the idea of a "western" is more of an atmospheric notion. No country for old men comes to mind since it has very much the same...

Argh you had to bring that up didn't you? That feeling of "Oh this going to be bad isn't it?" and yet you can't avoid it and when it happens you still get knocked out of your chair. That was not a pleasant moment... Actually I know this isn't a "things that scare you" thread but any time in...

The spiders on Dark messiah were a lot easier with a Fire Based weapon... That didn't stop me from smashing things in frustration many times before I figured that out. Another difficult foe here... The ninjas from painkiller from snowy bridge onwards. Anyone who has played painkiller will...

I'll probably get a load of people jumping to say they know this game but no one I know has ever heard of Ground Control 2: Operation Exodus... and it's one of the best I've ever played

I think that's kind of unfair. I for one quite like Shayamalan as a director. Signs, Unbreakable and (yes believe it on not) the village were all good and the sixth sense is one of the best films I've ever seen. I never saw lady in the water and yes while the happening was his worst film there...

Oh yeah... the basement I can't think of any other bits except maybe the subway train when you're hanging on the back and since it's loud and quite bright you think you're in for a safe ride and then BAM a lunatic with a pipe jumps on with you. The library level spooked me too. The fact...

Oh good lord the locker scene... and the "vision" scenes, and the end and GAH that game freaked me out. Two other bits which stick in my mind are: 1. The department store level where the crazies would pretend to be dummies and then sneak up behind you when you walked past. It's cliché but it...

Hmm... I feel really inadequate now, thank you sir

The doom dragon from Golden Sun 2. His favourite attack combo was Djinn Storm (Putting all your Djinni in recovery and making you a lot weaker and then Cruel Ruin (A ridiculously overpowered super move which pretty much killed you unless you had all your djinn available), in the later stages of...
