videogame things you think about a lot

i hadn’t thought about this in a few years but it got linked in the karaoke axe thread the other day and now i’m back to muttering ”lapsang souchong tea” to myself in a Long John Baldry voice every twenty minutes or so, for the rest of my life, i guess

Image: Vandalized political poster of a woman, with graffiti of a vagina framing her hijab.

Dreamfall Chapters is a incredibly flawed game, with a very flawed story, but an impeccable sense of setting–or maybe its multiple political campaigns just hit my sweet spots. In any case, I think about this particular piece of vandalism a lot, because it feels both so unlikely (I can’t imagine fascists misogynistic enough to go this particular route also having the knowledge or the patience to draw something as detailed as this is) and yet also feels astoundingly true to life. And maybe this speaks to my lack of familiarity with modern vidcons, but it is also the sort of imagery I’ve never seen before in games, which helps it stick.

I think about how the album version of Silent Hill’s theme includes this small sound of someone sobbing, around the 2:22 minute mark, that isn’t in the game’s opening cutscene and I appreciate how that sob wandering into the mix makes the whole song for me. And unless you were a nerd who listens to video game OSTs, you would never know :^)

Multiple Travis Touchdown pronunciations stick in my head, such as this MOEEEE and It-a-DAKI-ma-SU! from Travis Strikes Again.

even today the No More Heroes intro is just such a beautiful HARDCORE GAMER film; it’s so achingly obvious that the flimsy stylish treatment is just the right sort of flattery that the victim of the satire can’t see it and now he’s a beloved GAMER ICON

I’m not checking 700+ posts to see if it’s been posted here already but,

If I were ever going to do an insufferably nerdy thing it would be getting my car to play this startup sequence when I turn on the ignition
