  • I think it’s really interesting how people interpret music completely different than other forms of art. People sometimes assume the worst instead of realizing that the singer is speaking from another perspective. So for example if a writer has a first person perspective of a killer/rapist you wouldn’t make an association that the author is anything of the sort. But if they wrote a song and sang it then people would question if they really felt that way. Polly is a great example. By many accounts (Kathleen Hanna , Kim Gordon) Cobain championed feminism and woman’s rights but the lyrics of Polly are brutal and from the perpetrator view. Randy Newman’s - Rednecks is a tough one to listen to. You can understand how it is trying to point out ignorance and racism like Blazing Saddles but it’s sung in first person and should never be played in a public setting. Oingo Bongo’s - Little Girs was always a bit creepy now seems to age poorly the more time has gone on. Minor Threat - Guilty of being white is a tough listen because you know racist people think this is a rallying cry instead of the emotionly reaction from a a teenage kid who was bullied in highschool for being white.








  • Thanks for your comment. I feel like I’m on a island when I say the first was the only good one. Sure two had a few moments but the series is straight laughable. I was such a fan of the first one because of the fact the bullets ran out. I kept saying, “Why hasn’t anyone made a movie like die hard where people get tired and every bullet is counted? The protagonist picks up the guns of the villains, etc.” It’s still over the top but it was really nice to see something like that and then they completely took everything I liked and reversed it. Long coreographed fight scenes bulletproof suits, cringe dialogue, traveling to different locations because it would “look cool” if there are mirrors, neon lights and smoke. I don’t get the love.








  • Pay attention. The game wouldn’t always lead you to what you need to do. Some times you’ll have to figure things out. There isn’t just a marker on the map for what you need to do next. That messed me up because half the time I was following a marker but then there would be a line about giving someone an item or something in my inventory I missed. Ignore 100%ing every quest. Learn to parry and roll. Also, explore! I’ve run into very cool side quests! It feels really cool to just stumble into a story before a character even sends you out on the quest.
