Does anyone OTHER then me dislike Jeans? Like... period?

They are just so heavy and inflexible.

... the weight is true, but I kinda' like that. I haven't worn inflexible jeans (at least, not like after a day of wearing them or a cycle through the washing machine), though. I also haven't really worn a fitting pair of clothes in... ever, though. More or less. Most of the stuff I've got is at least a size large. Jeans also seem a bit more capable of concealing the pocket contents than... lighter material. Which is kinda' a consideration for me, since I tend to be carrying a good pound or two of junk in them.

I like my clothes loose, really. Feels constraining when stuff's actually, like. Tight or well sitting or whatever. If it were socially acceptable I'd totes just wear a bath/house robe around everywhere. Maybe a light shirt and reasonable underclothes, but not much else.

*waggles hand* Sorta'? Problem is when "cool and relaxing" translates into "completely forgettable". It's like... Morrowind and stuff. I could still remember some of the general travel themes and whatnot a few days later. Terraria's tunes actually stuck in my head -- I play that for a while and a few days later I'll still be getting the underground theme or whatev' intruding from time to time. Legend of Zelda's travel music stuff was pretty good about that, too, for certain areas. Just as examples.

Most of the stuff on the starbound soundtrack, even after listening through it a few times sequentially... I could remember basically nothing. Like, I'd go back to the start and, despite having listened to the track not very long before, I literally could not remember listening to it. That's an extreme anomaly for me -- I'm fairly capable of recognizing at least having listened to most of OCRemix's music, even the stuff I've only listened through once, just as an example.

... beyond that, I'd kinda' disagree. While exploring, I want music that emphasizes that exploration. If cool and relaxing is what's appropriate for that, then... good. Sometimes it's not. Personally, at least, oftentimes it's not. I want music that engages on some level or no music at all, m'self, and instead a strong portfolio of atmospheric sounds. Wind, water, rain, movement, dirt/rock shifting, etc. Basically, if I'm not feeling any different with or without the music playing, then... why is it playing, y'know?

Sound just for sound's sake -- which, t'me, is what unengaging background noise is -- is, hrm. Call it aesthetically unpleasing, yeah? It's an odd man out. Doesn't fit with the rest of the experience. And... often, m'self, that actually causes me to disengage somewhat from the game itself, because it's, like. Not integrated. It doesn't surround the other aspects, thread through them and enhance. So it grates. There's reasons I play most games muted, really

Just visualize Gendo's face on whoever that is's body and be giddily amused.

Gendo's got one of those faces you can stick on pretty much anyone's neck and the amusement factor multiplies.

Of course, while you're laughing, Gendo-Kratos has probably shoved your parent's soul into a giant robot and wiped out 3/4ths of the world's population, but... well, just that's how Gendo rolls, really.

Desert Battle 2, Neo.

E: It is overall pretty heavy on the ambiance, though. I'm kinda' hoping we (preorder folks, or whatever) get an updated/finished soundtrack eventually. I'd think there's, like, more tracks by now. Maybe some polish on stuff that's already there, too.

Those angels look like Davesprite...

Last one (that we can currently see, anyway) looks more like doggy Noir, t'me. Ones before that did look like davesprite, though!

Also everything seems to be going white. Makes me wonder if we're not going to get some cameos from something else with a notably large amount of whitespace.

If I'm lucky, nobody will notice.

... if you hadn't said anything, they wouldn't have. S'too late, now. Stigma will somehow arise from it, it will attach to you, and somehow, someway, thirty years from now you'll still be hearing about it. You will lose jobs because of this.

All because you had to go and taunt Murphy.

... so who are Khan and Djanogly?

Somewhere or another, probably. Check around the wikileak threads a ways back. This probably isn't the place to dig up all that varying amounts of bullshit again. Or PM MW about it or something. S'not really relevant to Australian politics at this point, if the guy's already lost.
