I found this song to be so beautiful, and especially liked how soothing the guitar was in this one.

Nice cap you got there, it's not general's (they have elaborate gold leaves around the star) but definitely officer issue.Joa_Belgium said:Nice! I didn't even notice that, the first time I watched.Major_Tom said:He he, DDR's Nationale Volksarmee insignia on the hat. Nice!

It reminds me of a general officer's cap from the Soviet Union I have in my possession. An entire story precedes me getting the cap into my hands. Presumably it's from someone who was stationed in a tank or artillery division during the period of 1958-1969. It's exactly like the one on this picture, finished with gold cords and with a red star and the traditional symbol of the hammer and sickle: http://www.undertheredstar.com/Army/M58tkgenserv.jpg
Not sure how much it's worth, but I know I wouldn't trade it. Same like Rebecca apparently, I'm wondering how long she's got that hat in her possession ... makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Thanks, I adjusted it. Anyhow, that's how it was described at the website where I got the picture. Some equipment from the Soviet army is still available as well, mostly replicas of course. The cap I possess is genuine, but I wouldn't be able to tell whose cap it specifically was. It must've travelled a long way to get to Western Europe, that's a fact.Major_Tom said:Nice cap you got there, it's not general's (they have elaborate gold leaves around the star) but definitely officer issue.Joa_Belgium said:Nice!

Rebecca's cap is a M43 Cap or a "Skimuetze", its based on a German Ski-cap, hence the nickname. It probably belonged to an enlisted man or an NCO (non-elaborate insignia). After the fall of Berlin Wall most of the DDR's equipment and uniforms were sold as army surplus so they are not hard to come by.
But maybe Rebecca served in the Nationale Volksarmee.
Anyway, great video, Rebecca! I really liked this song.
Agh, no. Seriously. That would've messed up the video. That guy punches a wall and his camera, because he can't even win at Modern Warfare 2. Not even to mention his obsession with milk. It's pathetic. Who would ever use that to promote their video?Vault boy Eddie said:I feel like this should have the call of duty kid's video(the british emo twat that hated it) playing in the background in slow motion.
Since the song is pretty much asking if the game was what you expected, I think it fits perfectly, the fact that the dude is a pathetic piece of crap should have no bearing in the situation lol.Joa_Belgium said:Agh, no.

It would fit the lyrics, but it would deliver him the attention he's seeking. Although it wouldn't matter anymore, when I think about it. His video has already been watched more than a million times.Vault boy Eddie said:Since the song is pretty much asking if the game was what you expected, I think it fits perfectly, the fact that the dude is a pathetic piece of crap should have no bearing in the situation lol.Joa_Belgium said:Agh, no.

Stange bloke indeed, and not just The Escapist, but I don't even think his mother wants to be asociated with him.Joa_Belgium said:It would fit the lyrics, but it would deliver him the attention he's seeking.

I do prefer this formula: Rebecca singing with footage from the game being shown randomly. It's after all what the series is about: a down-to-earth girl singing about the games she loves and hates.
Besides: I think they would need permission of the uploader to process the video. And I don't think The Escapist wants to be associated with that strange bloke.
