God of War: A Musical Cavalcade of Grandma
While I don't think Tim Rice would really add the dark atmosphere the lyrics would require, Grandma and I have determined that God of War would make an excellent musical. Tightly choreographed, epic dance numbers would flood the stage in an orgy of blood, fucking, and mythology (you know, for kids!) in a production that would make each playbill drip with sweat by intermission. Hell, they already might make a movie version, so why not go the full monty?
We came to this conclusion around 3:00 this morning.
Grandma- "This SUCKS."
Me- "What?"
Grandma- "I'm wandering around the FUCKING DESERT looking for SIRENS."
Me- "Oh yeah?"
Grandma- "I can't SEE anything!"
Me- "Maybe you have to listen for them. They sing you know."
Grandma- "I don't hear anything but the WIND."
Me- "Maybe if you turn up the volume..."
Grandma- "I still don't hear anything. Why would they sing?"
Me- "You know, to get Ulysses and his men-"
Grandma- "I'm not Ulysses. I am Kratos."
Me- "Yeah, but- they sing is what I'm saying."
Grandma- "I don't think this guy is into music."
Me- "Why not?"
Grandma- "Look at him!"
Me- "I could see this being a musical."
Grandma- "You're a weird kid."
The chapter with the Sirens is wonderfully done; even their voices add an appropriately creepy unnatural minor key while Kratos engages the creatures. Turning up the volume actually helped the game a lot; the music is fantastic! It's appropriately sweeping when it needs to be. To prove this, try playing the game on mute with The Shins playing through some headphones, especially the song "Those to Come."
It just isn't the same.

It's a great game, m. You have to get it!
I don't know what's up with the Sirens strange location in the desert. I remember Ulysses having a ship; but I guess they get creative control. A desert is like the ocean, I suppose. They lead people to their deaths, so... it makes sense, I think.

Just wanted toD3 Items determine if Nanny acquired ever before tried Kung Fu Turmoil, that's specifically absolutely nothing to use The almighty regarding Struggle. It is a get together video game in the same vein because Mario Social gathering, though the strategy is basically that you tend to be anGuild Wars 2 Items actor on the pair of a b dice socky motion picture.
