Again

I like the idea that Evan has anger issues and sometimes he turns on berserk mode. Off with the jacket, eyes bloodshot, teeth gritting-oh gods.

He needs chamomile tea to calm him down.

It was the art on my fanfiction... But it's written on Russian... I'll just leave this here.

i love anti-war video games that show extreme violence as a "look at what you're doing" type of thing (hotline miami and especially hm2, ultrakill, spec ops the line)

obviously this isn't the only reason i enjoy these games, but i really like anti-war themes in video games, as i feel that the interactive medium allows people to express much more damning indictments of war than other mediums.

jacket from hotline miami (short analysis)

jackets character is one that’s always really stood out for me, despite him never actually speaking throughout the game, it’s like the game speaks for him. the game makes a very comprehensible image of a man who’s suffocating in a sea of filth and bludlust, jackets someone’s who’s lost the ability to empathize with anyone or rationalize with himself, that being said, jackets not emotionless, near the beginning of the story, when jacket ultimately murders the homeless man, he pukes in disgust, even though his whole job revolves around killing. so it’s highly implied that he’s puking at his own doing, another instance of this is when he sees a homeless woman on the verge of death within one of the buildings he is ordered to clear, he doesn’t just decide to leave, he assists her by uses his home as a shelter for her, which could be a refrence to his regret for killing the other homeless man.

After a mission is complete, the usually upbeat “arcade” style music turns into a sort of melancholy droning sound, giving you a sort of realization of what you’ve done as you walk over the corpses to clear the building, i think in the situation of this game, the music speaks much louder then dialogue could. it allows you to snap back into reality, or more accurately, allows jacket to snap back into reality, as we’re playing in his pov after all. They’re even tiny little details that enhance jackets character a lot more, like his room. there’s no decorations, or anything to give him more of a personality, it’s almost sad, incomplete in a way. it seems to sum up jackets whole story in a way, this lonley, broken, incomplete murderer who’s story is one of anguish and confusion.

overall, jacket drives the entire game without speaking a single word, and that’s powerful in itself. even while being “mute”, his story is one that you could genuinely dwell on for days I LOVE HOTLINE MIAMI!!!!!!!!!!!<333

Had the epiphany to return to "I Don't Dance" in High School Musical 2 and good grief. Flirting on the baseball diamond. The fanfic writes itself.

Bind Torture Kill - Sauvagerie

Brutal/Grindcore from Lyon, France

Nine tracks come one after another to ultimately form a massive, dark block, in which the band regurgitates on their public the violence and dirtiness of the world, the bestial, savage part that lay deep inside a lot of people, telling each more tawdry, tragic stories than the last. An analysis.. The evil... The savagery… A catharsis.

Small sketch to commemorate JunSeongHo anniversary: 300 days*_*

May their relationship not be tainted with media and homophobia🔥 They are so sweet but also real, bickering so often but casually caring about each other so much, and I love all the HisMan2 cast, the way they formed such a great friendship/community bond and I hope we don't stop seeing all their vlogs and fanmeetings and see more couples and more happiness. But first, congratulations to Junseong, Seongho and Mangchi~

Was war denn im Rocktober los? Ziemlich viel, zumindest auf Sophies Liste haben es gleich 5 Veröffentlichungen in die Highlights geschafft, bei Tobe zumindest 2. Freut euch auf obskuren Death Metal, eine wahre Perle des Crossover/Thrash mit krustiger Kante, altbewährten HM2-Knüppel, experimentellen finnischen Black Metal sowie eine self. fulfilling prophecy from outer space. In einer neuen Rubrik feiern wir zwei Jubiläen. Zum einen das 30. Jubiläum eines OSDM-Veteranen und zum anderen den 35.Geburtstag eines Grindcore-Fanfavoriten. Wir hören uns im No-Bullshit-November. Cheers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxLuAgAWgsw

one of my favorite things about episode 3a of the coffin of andy and leyley is the dead ends in it mirroring different fan desires for how the game should end, sort of like how hm2's player characters mirror fan archetypes

Shots and Such is for people who just want the two characters to fuck and ignore their underlying problems

The Deadest of All Ends is for people who wanted them to go out in a blaze of glory

The Good End is for the bizarre hatedom that formed around the game

ok so i’ve been replaying one of the games in the heart’s medicine series (specifically the second game) because i realized i had only watched playthroughs of it and then immediately thought “eh why not play it myself i have time to anyway”

this game series isn’t that popular so there’s a pretty good chance that this post will go nowhere and no one will know what i’m talking about

but guys. the way that this game does foreshadowing KILLS ME INTERNALLY. (/lh) i need to give yall some examples of this because on one hand haha funny and on the other hand wow why is this game so dark when it’s basically diner dash meets greys anatomy. the two funniest examples:

daniel (one of the main characters) is talking to allison, the protagonist, very early on in the game about the hospital renovation efforts and lets alison pick the color for the new wing even though the colors he’s debating between are basically the same. allison is a bit hesitant here for obvious reasons (important renovations and also daniel’s basically in charge of everything in the hospital at this point) and then in response daniel just happens to say “besides, what’s the worst that could happen?”

after he says that, the game immediately cuts to a snapshot of an ambulance falling off of a cliff with several main characters inside it INCLUDING BOTH HIM AND ALLISON.

and then like five levels later (so like probably a month-ish in time passes) daniel talks to allison again and tells her that the renovation process is getting really frustrating and he’s really stressed out about it. alison tries to be nice and comfort him about this the best she can (she can’t really help all that much here because she’s still an intern and doesn’t really deal with much besides her internship) and then towards the end of that conversation daniel just happens to say “at least things can’t get any worse, right?”

wrong!! the game proceeds to then show THE SAME AMBULANCE FALLING OFF A CLIFF CUTSCENE.

i’m just convinced that daniel needs to shut his mouth before more bad stuff happens cause of him lmao and this game’s foreshadowing is both great and wack
