The Savage Side Of Me (Tomb Raider)

It's letting loose the savage side of me.

Was I supposed to crack up at the "It's cold, it's cold, it's cold" bit?

Because I kind of did.

 

[Guffe]

Really liked this one
Pretty fast paced song, in my opinion those are the ones you do best, but that might just be due to what music I listen to.

 

[You Can't Take the Sky From Me]

As someone who was an archer for years all I can really say is, that is not how one uses a bow. She'd be lucky to hit the broad side of a barn like that. Good song though, as usual.

One word. Epic.

I mean that was stunning, it's the kind of song you listen to once and then go "Yeah I am buying this album no question about"! Really reminded me of your first album material as well.

I giggled too. The rest of the song was solid though.

 

[ShirowShirow]

I LOVED how it ramped up. And the deep pace really sells the gritty jungle themes of the game.

That part and the "refuse refuse refuse" reminded me of a catchy pop tune... Silly but good. The part that you'll get pissed at for getting stuck in your head XD

If only pop was regularly this good. Then, like MoS music I wouldn't mind. I had Distant Honor stuck in my head for half a day once... I never regretted it.

OT: It seems like you JUST released Hell in the Headspace. I must have been really busy because time's flown. Wow.

I like this one (I haven't found a song of yours I didn't), but It's not my favorite, though as I've found with blood of the creed, I my may have to eat my initial "It's ok" feelings. XD

That one grew on me far far more than I expected. I love it now.

Also, this song seems familiar. Was it inspired by something? Maybe it's just me. My ears aren't the greatest at music so I'm never sure XD

Good! I liked it, it wasn't as "catchy" as some of my favorites, but it was very good indeed. And the graphics for that game are pretty amazing.

I'm not sure what you mean? That the line sounds weird or funny?

Thanks I feel like Level 3 is going to be overall a stronger collection than Level 2 was.

It sounds funny, as in amusing.

Like when someone burns their mouth on hot food and says, "Oww, hot-hot-hot-hot!" Except, y'know... cold instead of hot.

I'm not sure if it was supposed to be funny like that though.

You do know darn well it wasn't, but that's ok if you find it funny that way. Never noticed it myself!

Fantastic video and song. Think I'll be picking this game up when I get the money.

Kind of wish I could offer more creative and constructive praise than "this is great!", but, well, it's great!

on the bright side, if someone ever uses a bow to kill someone, no one can say that the game taught them to do it.

Your experience in the real world was different to hers though. You were a slave to physics while Lara has videogame suspension of disbelief on her side

 

[You Can't Take the Sky From Me]

I know... Stupid physics making things react in realistic ways. On the other hand they do create The Archers Paradox which is kinda neat.

I liked it, will be borrowing the game off my brother when he is done with it, this song just makes me want him to hurry up XD.

Another awesome video, Gavin! I can easily see the song working along with footage from Far Cry 3, because that game and Tomb Raider Begins (I will eat rusty nails before I call a game series reboot/prequel with the same name as the original game by what its publishers named it) and your choice of clips work at making younger Lara more sympathetic (because the gameplay feels VERY different from the cut scenes) and keep to that game's intended themes, whatever they are.
Alright, that's enough video game art-snobbery from me. Keep up the great work!

 

[SoMuchSpace]

I want to know Gavin's opinion on the game, because i really hope he saw and understood Lara's development (like the video suggest) instead of COMPLETELY missing the point (Yahtzee and his legion of "OMG I AGREE WITH YOU BUT I HAVE NEVER PLAYED THE GAME LOL I TAKE YOUR WORRD COS U GOD" army)

Also great song!I love MoS.Gavin what other music do you do besides on the escapist?
