When was the last time you put on some headphones, played To All of You by Syd Matters, and pretended you were the main character of some indie film? Do it today! It’s what Max Caulfield would want

Fun fact I actually think the games use of Mountains is my personal favorite needle drop in LiS….

I say this fully living LIS, but that game has some problems with its writing and performances that are made much easier to swallow thanks to how the music acts as a crutch to lean on. It’s genius actually! It’s why LIS might be THE best use of licensed music in video games!

Don’t nod has talked about the music (especially syd matters) having been around since the earliest stages of development on LIS. It’s almost like a concept album, or even a musical in how those specific tracks are used not just to underline but to communicate the games emotional beats

A lot of people have written about the music of life is strange, my specific take on it here however is that the music is very much the pillar that holds up everything else in the game. It’s an intrinsic part of LIS’s DNA and I don’t think the game would be a classic without it

Planescape Torment: Never meet other people’s heroes [Content warning: This article cites misogynistic dialogue in several places and also refers to in-game scenes of relationship-related abuse.] I’ve had my eye on this RPG for a long time now,…

ICYMI, I dropped a new album last Friday. Proud of this project and the intent behind it. If you like hearing artists figure it out in real time, or just want to hear me do a dark as hell Vogue cover, check it out.

So what I’m hearing is Cabernet is still the best game about being a vampire released this year?
