I like the EP version though.

Some of the live ones are cool too. Especially when she plays it on Ukulele.

Can I ask what you guys like about this? The lyrics? Story telling? The music itself? The video? All of the above?

It is just one kick ass song. Lyrics, guitar, storytelling and all.

What about it is attractive to you erik, if you don't mind me asking? To me, it is melodically, harmonically, and rhythmically boring, and sonically done to death. There are no wrong answers here, I'm just curious...I realize that this stuff is subjective, and that my tastes have been shaped by my musical background, so don't let my two cents put you on the defensive

I'm not sure that's an effective fire suppressant.

One of my favorite video game cutscenes. No, they're not committing suicide, and those aren't guns. They just look like guns. lol.

To be honest I'm surprised anyone here has even heard of it! It's really an amazing game, imo. Extremely thought provoking, well developed characters, engaging storyline. Lots of replay value too, I'm actually doing my second cycle right now. Even if you can't find it in stores, if you can get it online, I highly recommend you do.

How to poop? Sorry I don't read every thread. Or research all past link threads on a topic before posting in what appears to be a new link thread.

I guess if anything it shows how good the video is.
