Still Alive

So I recently beat Portal 2, without ever having played the first one (*gasp!* it's so horrible!). I was, however, introduced to the ending song from Portal, Still Alive, back in freshman year; Instant addiction.
I was slightly more disappointed with Portal 2's ending song, Want You Gone. It just didn't have the feel to it, y'know? Anyway, onto the body of the post!
The Song of The day is Still Alive by Jonathan Coultman, written for the video game Portal. Here's the most kickass kinetic typography video you'll ever watch in your sad, pathetic lifetimes.

These Days

Okay, so I recently bought the game Rock Band Blitz on PSN, and it's the best Rock Band game ever, I don't care about your opinion on this because you're wrong.
Now, to the point. On this game is one of my favorite Foo Fighters songs, and I know a lot of people didn't like the Wasting Light album, but a lot of people are dumbasses. The song is These Days, and it is the Song of The Day (Formal form of that announcement; The Song of The Day is These Days by Foo Fighters)
This is the song that pops into my head whenever somebody, well not just any somebody only specific somebodies, tells me "it's going to be okay."
"Easy for you to say
Your heart has never been broken
Your pride has never been stolen
Not yet
Not yet"
Those lines in specific. Because you don't know, so stop telling me that it's going to be okay. Unless you are several years my elder in experience and age, YOU KNOW NOTHING!
So what's your SOTD?

Honor For All

So as I mentioned a month or so ago, I got the game Dishonored for Christmas. I beat it (with high chaos, meaning I didn't do stealth very well.) within days of getting it. I LOVE this games soundtrack. The background music, the combat music, even the voice acting, but my absolute favorite song from the game is the song played at the ending credits. Honor for All by Jon and Daniel Licht. You may recognize the second name from other game soundtracks (ex. Silent Hill Book of Memories).
not the song of the day, maybe, just thought I'd share.

Simple and Clean (planitB remix)

Song of the Day is Simple and Clean (planitB remix) by Utada Hikaru. Not because it means anything special, but because all the Kingdom Hearts games have used her music. The first Kingdom Hearts used Simple and Clean, Kingdom Hearts II had Sanctuary, Kingdom hearts Re:coded again used Simple and Clean. 358/2 Days used Sanctuary again. But my favorite is the planitB remix of Simple and Clean used for the beginning video of Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep for the Playstation Portable (PSP) handheld. I don't know if you've played any of the Kingdom Hearts games, but when you get into it..... The story is fucking confusing. What I understand is that the Heartless have hearts and no bodies. The Nobody's have bodies but no hearts. If you're playing the games currently and don't want everything ruined for you, leave. Cuz i'm gonna be a dick today and explain the games as I understand them so far. Forget Re:Coded though, Re:Coded and Chain of Memories are pretty useless unless your looking for filler between I and II. Which is pretty irrelevant in the end. Roxas is Sora's Nobody. let's get that out of the way. In the beginning of Kingdom Hearts II the reason that the Nobodies stole all the pictures that had Roxas in them is because Roxas was originally a member of Organization XIII, and they aren't supposed to be seen in other worlds because the Nobodies shouldn't even exist. But they do. So the members of Organization XII want to open Kingdom Hearts (Which has been done twice before) so that they can gain Hearts and truly exist. Roxas was the first member Organization XIII to have the power of the Keyblade. Xion was the second. Xion looks almost exactly like Kairi except she has black hair. I'm not far enough into 358/2 yet to find out if I'm right or how that would happen. New topic. In Birth By Sleep Terra passes on the power of the Keyblade to Riku when you visit the Destiny Islands. (Fun fact! Ventus was from Destiny Islands. He's referred to as "The boy who left" by Riku when you visit as Terra). Aqua recognizes the light in young Kairi and gives her magic to protect her from the Unversed. Nothing really happens to Sora, I'm disappointed because I still don't know why he has a Keyblade. I'm just going with he was "chosen". Later, when Xehanort takes over Terra's body, He looks like Xemnas (Ansem/Riku. Xemnas/Ansem/Riku is Xehanorts nobody and the leader of Organization XIII.) Wait, just looked it up and the reason that Xion has a keyblade and looks like Kairi is because she is an "imperfect replica of Roxas.... leaked from Sora's memories and halting his progression of gaining them back..... resembles Kairi as she is Sora's strongest memory"GODSDAMMIT. Everyone apparently sees her as somebody else. At some point Roxas sees her as Sora and everone else in the Organization sees her as a hooded doll. what the fuck. Too confused to continue//////////////

Readers, what's your song of the day?
