The last time you were emotionally overwhelmed

Two come to mind. One of my recent playthroughs of Mass Effect, I was trying really hard to get into it, and I just got overwhelmed on the Normandy after Virmire. It didn't really effect me until one of my later playthroughs, but just the way I was trying to really be into it, plus the sad music on the Normandy, just made me really sad.
A better example is when I played the Path. On around the third girl, I just felt overwhelmed with this indescribable sense of dread.

I've been thinking about getting this for quite some time now. Is it really that good?orannis62 said:
And I can relate to your feeling, I've watched 'Session 9' a few days ago and there´s some kind of absolute... well, I don't know the right word for it that creeps in your head and slowly turns up the pressure. Had the same feeling in a veeeery looong tunnel you have to run through in Silent Hill 2. It's just the feeling of something absolutely terrifying happening...
The only times I have SERIOUSLY been overwhelmed by emotions...My grandma's funeral late 2009 and my leaving after having visited my gf in America 2 weeks, including christmas. That whole family grew on me damnit...
Of course, there's been some minor RAEG!!! too, like when I managed to overwrite my level what...15? kensai save on Baldur's Gate 2 by accident...
But usually I'm overwhelmed by my lack of emotions...ironically enough it (feels like it should) make(s) me sad...take from that what you want, but I'm also curiously more capable of forming empathic relationships with fictional characters, inanimate objects and animals....also, while many people say they need a good cry and then it's like "well i feel better", I can't cry on command. Just can't. Takes extreme amounts of emotion to get a response from me. I hate it. Ironic, no?

Surely if you think that way films like Aladdin and such where there's magical creatures and mystical crap going on like it's the norm are just lame movies to you?factualsquirrel said:The problem for me was that it didn't make much sense and wasn't at all likely, and the analytical (see Namless I can spell) part of my brain would not let me enjoy it (well, get sucked in by it) because of that.mewski said:When I went to see Up. Yeah I admit to crying to it. Come on there's some real sad moments in that film!
Well, no, because they sell themselves as mystical, so I just think "well it's supposed to be bullshit, so I accept that", but with UP, it was sort of trying to be realistic.mewski said:Surely if you think that way films like Aladdin and such where there's magical creatures and mystical crap going on like it's the norm are just lame movies to you?factualsquirrel said:The problem for me was that it didn't make much sense and wasn't at all likely, and the analytical (see Namless I can spell) part of my brain would not let me enjoy it (well, get sucked in by it) because of that.mewski said:When I went to see Up.

Also, the bit with the balloons, those balloons would barely lift up a person goddammit.
The film where there's this black guy's son needs a heart operation, and he's held up the entire hospital with a gun, and he reveals that he only had one bullet. And it's meant for him, so that his son can have a healthy heart.
I watched this film some time ago, can someone remind me of it's name?
This is the only time, other than when someone close to me dies.

i watched a documentery the other day following a guy who couldnt stop hiccuping, sounds trivial and funny, it really wasnt made me feel physically sick for the poor guy. turns out he had a brain tumor and the fucked up doctors/GP's in the HNS wouldnt even give the poor sod a MRI scan which would of found it, anyway a doctor in tokyo did it in the end and all was good
but f**k me some of those scenes leading up were horrible, serious empathy

Oh man, this movie.Hubilub said:
The montage made me sniffly, but I really started bawling at the very end, when his house finally touches down on a cliff above a waterfall, exactly like in the picture.
It's a little embarrassing, but I'm tearing up just thinking about it.
dont judge me but theres only one movie that ALMOST made me cry, and that was radio. other than when people i know have died (yeah, i cried) other than that the only time i might shed a tear is when im about to leave my girlfriend. we live on opposite sides of the state so when we get to see each other and then have to go, yeah ive shed a tear or two.
