Here is finally, a video tribute to York and Emily from my side. The video is infested with spoilers, so if you haven't played the game, go away! Here's the description I posted in the video:
[MAJOR SPOILERS IN THE VIDEO AND DESCRIPTION!] So here's a tribute from my side to one of the best romance plots I have ever seen in a video game. The clips were taken out of Giantbomb's Endurance Run as I don't have this game :P Song: Hero by Enrique (spoilers ahead) One special thing that came out in the video was the fact that York is NOT able to be Emily's hero, as he fails to shoot her in the end and she ends up killing herself. It makes the whole video a little sadder. Anyways, watch the video and tell me how you found it! NOTE: I do not own the rights to any of the content. I have only compiled the music to make this video. Have fun, and let me know if you liked it! :)
It's weird, but I had the same avatar since this site had launched. I'd gone over the thought of changing it many times, but had always dropped the idea. But Deadly Premonition affected me so much, that I finally changed my avatar, that too to a moment that highlights a very special part of the game - York and Emily's romance plot, which according to me, is the best love story I have seen in a game so far. So, do you like my new avatar? And anyone else here who didn't change their avatar from the start?
Well, a lot of shit has been going on lately, so I thought I'd put up the new vid I just uploaded to get GB a little back on track. Enjoy the vid, and if you like it, comment! :D Song - Violet Hill
If you've been following me and my blogs, you probably know that I make a video tribute to every game that I finish. So I finished AC 2 yesterday, and here is a SPOILER FILLED tribute to the game. Song: Somewhere I Belong By Linkin Park
Also, I had planned to make a second video with either Carnival of Rust or Breaking the Habit, but I'm feeling too lazy and want to play ME2. Should I make a second vid?
Well, if you haven't seen my first video, here is the link If you have seen it, here is another one! The song is Rush of blood to the Head by Coldplay (suits the theme, don't hate the song!) by the way, MAJOR SPOILERS IN THE VIDEO
Alright so I finished Dragon Age: Origins yesterday, and was completely amazed by the game and the ending. And since it's becoming somewhat a tradition of late for me to make a video about the games I finish, I made one for this too.
The song is Frog Prince by Keane, and I think it fits in with the theme very well.
oh by the way, MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD. DON'T WATCH THE VIDEO IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED THE GAME.
Watch in HD and comment (on youtube) if you like it! It would mean a lot :) Enjoy!
Alright so as some of you may know, I'm interested in Fine Arts, and want to get a BFA degree so that I can go on to become an artist in the game industry. My family didn't have a problem, but suddenly my father heard about BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) from someone, and he's heavily pressurizing me to go for that. He says that as an artist I will be unemployed forever and live on their support instead. He says that if I get a BBA instead, I can go into the business side (HR, manager and all that stuff) and get a job quickly and start earning money safely and securely (which according to him is the most important thing). But I have heard enough stories about people living for money and who have an empty life. I don't wanna be one of them.
The problem is, my father knows nothing about applied art and the scope that it has nowadays. He believes that going for art means becoming a painter and to just draw for fun and sell my paintings as an earning. THAT IS NOT WHAT IM GOING FOR! I want to go for applied arts, which has a wide scope in today's day and age, and I can work in other fields like advertising, until I get into the games industry. Also, he has NO idea about the gaming industry, and doesn't know what a big field it is. He thinks I wanna go for art just so that I don't have to study hard (which is BS, cuz art needs huge amounts of practice.) If he doesn't allow me to go for arts at all, then there is another field that I am inte4rested in, which is architecture. It involves drawing and such, and is secure enough to keep my father satisfied. But my question is, can I get into the games industry as an architect? With some good 3d modeling etc training and the architecture degree in hand, can I be hired, for instance as a level designer or something? Also, do you think I should abandon my dream and "think like an adult"? Or should I take the risk and go for a BFA?
So I've always been a "happy" kind of a person, and it's always been my biggest fear to become like those people who say they hate their life (basically the majority of people on this planet.) Yeah, I've always had my normal shares of problems, but I've always pushed them aside, saying happiness is something too precious to me to be compromised. In other words, in case a situation would turn up where a normal person would become sad/depressed, I would always put on a brave face and act like it doesn't bother me, and I'm still the happiest person on this planet. This kind of belief obviously makes me BELIEVE that I am a really happy person, whether or not I have a reason to be one. This has worked pretty well for the past 2-3 years, and I have managed to live a 99% always happy existence. Whenever I've had some problems, I've turned towards the good things that I am privileged enough to have in life (music, video games, a few good friends, entertainment, sports, nature etc etc). So what if I have this and this problem? I still have all those other things in my life! I should be happy! Even if my life was falling around me, I'd probably think about what I DO have and keep myself happy. The problem is, all these things now seem to be catching up with me, and cannot be ignored any longer. They're becoming a need, and I cannot distract myself any longer with the good things. The distractions are beginning to lose meaning, and suddenly look like things of small importance.
Another problem is that nowadays I'm trying to ignore how shitty people are, and am actually trying to love everyone. Obviously, people disappoint me, and I am left controlling my anger and trying to convince myself that anger won't solve anything. Obviously, you could tell me to go a little easy on myself and give some people what they deserve, but I have unfortunately developed a strange kind of a mechanism which makes me feel all bad inside if I do that. In other words, whether or not I react nicely to people's dicky-ness, I'm still f'kd inside.
I guess a factor causing my current situation is that my high school's over, and there's a long break before I get into any kind of a college. This is obviously a nervy period which will decide my future, and is also going to bring about a HUGE change in my life. Also, my social life is pretty much close to zero, since there is no school and everyone's bottled up in their homes, studying hard to get into a college. It's not that I really miss my class, they weren't all that great, but I DO miss the crowd. Also, I failed to find myself a good girl in my school years, and that's obviously a major problem.
So here I am, sitting at home, all suddenly confused about life. Looking for guidance and direction, and in the end just ending up playing some games to keep me happy. At this point I don't even properly know what I have talked about. Am I saying I want reassurance that I should keep faith in life and believe it truly is magical? Or become a part of the crowd that faces reality, curses life, and lives life as he/she is told to live? Anyways, the thing is that I'm gonna have a tough time until August when I start a new life with college and everything, and I have to somehow survive all these thoughts in my head. Usually a very balanced/spiritual person, this kind of confusion about the very concept of life itself has got me completely confused. Hopefully writing this LONG blog has got my mind settled, so I will go back to believing that life is great, and will go play some games to remove the seriousness of it all.
PS: Let me know the answer to the question in the title of this thread. Thank you for reading!
This song has been stuck in my head since I uploaded my video of the song on youtube. Its weird! It cant be a part of a game! Its so goddamn driving me crazy!
It echoes! Oh how it echoes in the depths of my head!! (not because my head is empty though) And when I heard it now again just before writing his blog, I felt the weirdest things. As if I was having some weird (spiritual maybe) experience!! And the whole scene is crafted so beautifully! The way the camera moves! The way sten looks down and and closes his eyes! The way Morrigan shakes her head! The way Alistair silently listens! CRAZY I TELL YOU!!
OK don't get creeped out, its a little exaggerated, but true all the same.
Here check my video out:
Oh by the way, I love Leliana :P Check out my profile BG :D
EDIT: Oh and for some laughs, check Wynn dancing in the background at 2:37. Totally destroys the atmosphere :D EDIT: I have regained my sanity and am now feeling embarrassed :D
Alright so I've finally asdasd So after 20+ days of heavy studying, and about 6 months of torturous abstention from gaming, IM FINALLY F*KIN FREE. So after 20+ days of heavy studying, and about 6 months of torturous abstention from gaming, IM FINALLY F*KIN FREE!! Starting march 3 I had my final year final exams of High School (we call them Board exams). They were obviously one of my life's biggest exams, and so I had to prepare for them for like months, and I didn't play ANY of the games that had come out post-October. The exams, by the way, really sucked the life out of me. I'm so glad I'm done with school and science! I can finally move on to Fine Arts and work towards being a concept artist. No more chemistry! WOOHOO!
My exams, by the way, were better than expected, (thank you for asking) considering the fact that I had NO IDEA the whole year what was going on. Luckily my final preparations were good and I understood stuff by the end. I can tell you the teachers are going to be completely shocked with my marks when I get them :D But maths, the last one, pretty much kicked my ass. Anyways, It's done with and over, and I can finally get back to gaming!
Batman Arkham Asylum being the last new game that I'd played, back in October, (besides a few days of a little Oblivion and Dead Space) it is obvious that I have a lot of games remaining to be played. I'll be starting with non - stop MW2 till I finish the campaign, (Yes, I didn't play the game yet), and then follow it up with DA:O, AC2 and ME2.
And YES. I am mightily excited for Just cause 2 and Splinter Cell conviction, so that's got to be played as well. I might also see whether Borderlands interests me, and besides all that I've got to check out the DA:O expansions as well. Other than that there are some old games that I have yet to complete, which I have to look into as well. ( Full List). I've also got to draw a lot, and wach a lot of movies. Plus I've got to look into good colleges to get into. So it's a lot of gaming and fun in store for me for the next few weeks!
Or... maybe not. Since last Monday, my PC's been gone for repairs. The SMPS had apparently blown up, and that screwed up the motherboard as well, which had to be changed. I was supposed to get it back yesterday, but did not. God knows how long it will be before I start gaming again GODDAMIT!! Im DYING to play DA:O!!
Anyways, other than gaming, I've not been on GB from like last Monday, so if anyone could fill me up with what interesting things happened since then, that would be fun.
Thank you for reading! Hopefully I'll get my PC back today and I can finally start with DA:O. Have fun
EDIT: News Alert!! I just came to know that my PC is not coming TODAY, it's coming TOMORROW, that too hopefully. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU*******************KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK EDIT: Alright it's not coming today either (wednesday). He says it's gonna come on thursday. I'm so sick of this.
