PSA: I REALLY WANT TO PLAY LIFE IS STRANGE. That is all. And I am NOT one for video games whatsoever! The music is perfect, my kind of music exactly... And Max keeps a journal just like I used to, and and and IT JUST SEEMS PERFECT Eager dummy

I have it, but haven't gotten around to trying it yet. But I heard good things, I heard it being called a Twin Peaks with teenagers, which is the main reason why I wanted it :D And it also got a bit of a Dreamfall vibe to it. 

I hope you'll like it :)

I'm not sure what Twin Peaks is. ^^" I haven't ever played Dreamfall, but I've played a very little bit of The Longest Journey. It'll probably be a while before I get to play Life Is Strange. I hope you enjoy it, too, once you get around to it!

Twin Peaks was a 90s tv show with some supernatural elements and a nice sense of humor. I loved how every character is in some ways either eccentric or insane, and most of them are completely oblivious about it :D That show had a special brand of crazy that made it a lot of fun to watch. They're bringing it back in a year, so I'm sure you gonna hear a lot about it soon :P

I love the TLJ/Dreamfall series so much! It's not everybody's cup of coffee because of the slow pacing, but I loved the story a lot. And it focused mainly on the writing rather than the action-y gameplay elements, that's the part I find similar to Life is Strange, it seems to be all about the story.

Sounds interesting :) I enjoy humorous TV shows so maybe I'll watch it once it comes back! Why are they bringing it back all of a sudden? o.o Oh perfect!! I am NOT a gamer at all!! So I'm currently all in it for the story and not so much the gameplay aspect. Maybe once I get a bit more used to it I'll be interested in gameplay, but for now a PS3 controller is as foreign to me as Chinese. Something with simple gameplay is most preferable (a little bit of excitement is always nice though, like when you feel the controller vibrate as you pull some trigger).

Not sure exactly why now, but it has been a long time coming, the show ended way too soon and deserves a proper ending.
Haha! I know what you mean! I'm strictly a PC gamer (better controls, also cheaper games), so kb/mouse are my weapons of choice. I bought a 360 controller last year to try it out, it's interesting, but doesn't seem to be worth the effort to properly learn.  :)
Apart from Dreamfall/Life is Strange, there are also the Telltale games that are almost pure story and nothing else. (The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones)
There is one other game that I think you might really really like, Bioshock: Infinite. It's a shooter, but the story is something magical, I'm pretty sure you'll love it. Perhaps give it a try on easy? :) There's a song from it I really love: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqH4-a…

What games have you tried already?

That song is really pretty! It's a Johnny Cash cover, isn't it? It sounds very familiar, but in a very different style than I *think* I've previously heard it. I've heard of Bioshock: Infinite! I think the ending was even spoiled for me, but I think I've more or less forgotten the spoiler... ah... maybe not. :( But when my friend told me about it, it sounded quite interesting to me and I actually added it to my "Games I want to someday play" list. ^-^ So you're kind of psychic. Adorable Girl Anime Emoji (Double kawaii wink) V6 I'll definitely play on easy, given my utter lack of gaming experience! I've only played World of Warcraft for a couple of months. And a VEEEERY little bit of Kingdom Hearts. Need to finish that eventually! Other than that, I've watched all the MGS 3 cut scenes (loved it!), and I observed while my boyfriend showed me PT: Silent Hill - you can pretty much play it in half an hour. It's really short but oh-so-intense... Llama Emoji-07 (Hopeless or Scared) [V1] It's a horror game. After he showed it to me, I was so on edge. We were descending a staircase in the dark, and I heard footsteps coming up the staircase and I screamed!! It turned out to be an innocent elderly man who was puzzled as to why I had screamed, he said something like, "Don't worry..." Poor guy!

Here's a song for you to check out, if you wish! :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=drIWW4… It's from Life Is Strange... I wonder what the context will be! I loved it instantly; it's SO easy to listen to... and the lyrics are kind of... oddly funny... "I wish I had an American girlfriend." What? xD

Both yes and no. :) From what I know the song was originally written in the early 1900s, but the Johnny Cash's cover is the most famous version. I love when games and tv shows do that do that, use amazing songs at memorable moments. Now every time I hear them... so many memories and feelings! Some other games did it too, but I'm not sure if I should spam you with songs :D Soooo tempted! :D Ugh, to hell with it, I give up! Here's a song from in Assassin's Creed 4 :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8xeZ0…
As for the spoilers your friend told you, you'll never know if these were real spoilers until you play it :P I used to tell my sister fake Breaking Bad spoilers just to mess with her :D

From MGS, I've only played MGS5 and Ground Zeroes. The story is so awesome, I really love the characters! Especially Quiet, she seemed so gentle and kind, but at the same time would kill anyone who crossed her. A pretty interesting combination. :D (Also her song is awesome!) I feel like there should have been a lot more story about her, and I wish the game was properly finished instead of being cut in half. :(

Hahaha! Holy shit! That must have been pretty funny :D Shame they canceled the project, so much awesomeness behind it! :(  I'd suggest some other horror games, but I don't want you to give the poor guy a heart attack the next time :D

Listened to that song, it's really nice! But yeah, the lyrics are a bit weird, I suspect they've used it ironically in the game or something like that... I still haven't played it :(


PS. Sorry for taking forever to reply, almost 2 months! I'm the worst replier (I do know that it's not a word :D ).
