Snake5555555555 08/01/21 7:07:45 PM #3 | 8/10 I echo much of Leon's sentiments here. When I think of fighting game stories I think of a bunch disparate non-sequiturs as every character gets their own thin plots will little cross-over continuity between them, and while they can certainly be fun and wacky, it's hardly good storytelling. MK9 really upped the ante with fantastic cinematic, production values and I quite like that it doesn't just go straight reboot and discards everything before it. It's a story that truly leans into MK's rich lore and embraces the wackiness that comes with it while still taking it seriously. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Topic | Rank the Tracks Week 22: Massive Attack's Mezzanine (+ Bolt Cutters results) |
Snake5555555555 08/01/21 1:18:02 PM #6 | Risingson Teardrop Exchange Inertia Creeps Group Four (Exchange) Angel Mezzanine Dissolved Girl Black Milk Man Next Door Trip-hop is such a fantastic genre of music. It's not something I seek out often; instead it always seems to find its way to you in your times of need or crisis. At once, it's energetic and danceable, and by the same token, dark, full of despair, scary & terrifying, and emotionally thoughtful, tailor-made for 3AM middle-of-the-night contemplation. Massive Attack's Mezzanine is the definitive album of the genre, ironically because they tried so hard to escape the very genre they were most known for. I first discovered this album after tracing back the roots of Silent Hills' OSTs and Akira Yamaoka's influences, and so it was an instant success with me. It never gets quite into the realm of pure horror as Aphex Twin, but instead builds up this atmosphere of dread with ethereal experimentation and haunting guest vocals, especially the work of Liz Fraser who helps support the album's highest and memorable moments, who almost seems to be fighting for air amidst intense and suffocating claustrophobia. Despite the album's lofty ambitions however, it stays grounded with disturbing songs about toxic relationships such as in "Inertia Creeps", or wistful contemplation turning into a desperate cry for help in "Group Four" as Fraser runs like a Victorian ghost through lines bemoaning a dead-end job and ultimately a wasted life. The album's most triumphant moment however is "Risingson", a musing on boredom and anxiety that cuts through to the soul with intense reverb and empty spaces that speak louder than words. And that's really the guiding star of the whole album; life isn't always as gloomy and depressing as the album makes it out to be, but there are points where it will be and you will appreciate those empty gaps more and more as you get older. And in Massive Attack's own disparaging of trip hop and electronica, they used this very feeling to create an album that's eternally resonant and emotionally timeless. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Snake5555555555 07/31/21 6:50:19 PM #7 | 5/10 I love the experience of radioing your co-worker day in and out, as your only piece of human interaction. This is a bit of a dream job of mine so it was nice to role-play as Henry throughout the game. The dialogue is well-written, and the way the deeper story unfolds is reminiscent of Gone Home, with elements of mystery, conspiracy, and horror that just end up being total red herrings, instead focusing on something a lot more real. Yet, I don't think it works that well here; it's less red herring to me, and more, "oh we are just kind of lying to you to make the story seem more interesting than it is". The pacing ramps up to these shocking revelations and just halts it all with a disappointing payoff. The ending is also unsatisfying and feels rushed, and overall I just feel the time spent with these characters was just a waste by the time the credits roll. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

To say it's obtuse for the average player to get into is frankly an understatement, combined with the admittedly slow gameplay and method of plot delivery. Still, its world is undeniably inviting, its mysteries enticing, its atmosphere frightening, with dark introspective horror straight from the pages of Lovecraft, with the final twist of the game fitting neatly into that framework. It's an ambitious story but once again I have to say it's delivered in a clunky fashion that holds it back from being one of the greats. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.
