For seventeen, almost eighteen, years now, I thought that my eyes were hazel. But it would appear that they are amber. Curious... As for the color of your eyes: I see kindness within them. I feel that you have a very gentle heart, and that you want to protect both the people you love and complete strangers. At the same time, I feel that you would have no problem mincing a person into a fine paste if they ever threatened someone you love.

Dem eyes.

I'd hit you with the hateful lyrics of my pop culture songs.

I'd hit you with a lit match after dowsing you in gasoline.

I'd hit you with a rock on a rope. I've tried using a rock on a stick, but it just doesn't hurt as much as a rock on a rope. Fact: this post has been proven through multiple tests, all of which were accidents. Basically: self inflicted injury.

This looks beautiful. I especially like the detail you put into the wings. My overall favorite part of this canvas, which may seem rather odd, is the sky. The sky just looks... I can't really describe it. It calms me. It reminds me of the simpler times when I would stay awake until sunrise, just so that I could have some time to be alone with my thoughts. I always stared out my open window and gazed upon the sky. 2:34 A.M. was, and still is, my favorite time of the day. It is the time when the sky looks just as you have portrayed it: curious combination of a rich teal and a deep, fading purple. I don't really care if I win now. When I clicked on this thread, my first thought was "Aw yeah: free stuff!" But now... Memories are flooding back into my mind. Ideas that were once lost, fantasies long forgotten... Thank you, Detective Butler. You have pulled my past from betwixt the cracks of my memories and, in doing so, have reminded me of my passion and dream.

Bold words for someone who's not on a unicycle. But I would prepare your vital organs for my next move, because... I'd hit you with a hipster! But, only ironically.

I'd hit you with your own femur.

I remember playing Riven every single day when I was younger. I always loved the pleseosaurus's (pleseosaurusi?) at the begining, the giant fish, and the roller coaster thing. I wish the discs still worked

I believe that video games are a form of art. Art is a form of self expression which can catharsis us. We most often associate art with music, visual representations, and the written word, which can be described by stories. I'm going to try to explain this the best way that I possibly can, but I probably won't be able to convey it the way I see it within my mind: The writer can make a story that is full of emotion, and he/she can create a person with whom the reader can relate to. However, the writer struggles with creating a mental image, or visual representation, of their story. This is where the painter comes into play. The painter can create works that are not only pleasurable to look at, but also draw forth emotions and memories. The trouble that the painter may find him/herself in would be setting the tone, or mood. Thus is where the composer makes his/her entrance. The composer creates songs that can soothe the mind and soul, as well as invoke powerful emotions. Something that I've noticed is that my memories, as well as those of my friends, all rely on sound. This is why certain songs can remind you of past experiences. If you recently had a member of your family die, and you began listening to a song with a sad tune to it, your mind will associate the tune with the emotions you felt when said family member died. This also applies to other emotions and memories. Now, the issue that composers have, and I have asked a few about this, is that they find it rather difficult to describe the setting(that is, when there are no lyrics.) This is where the writer comes back into the picture. Through the sound, the writer can express memories and emotions with which the reader can relate to. So the three forms of art come full circle. What does this have to do with video games? Well, video games combine all three of these into a single work: a gripping storyline with beautiful visuals and music to match. If you create a relatable story, a protagonist with a relatable personality, a world that communicates the atmosphere, or setting, of the storyline and music that can pull you into the fictional world, then you have the ultimate work of art. It is everything that the three artists has to offer in a single package. Now, there are far a few video games with all three of these virtues in balance. The ones that I believe have all three in balance are: Red Dead Redemption, inFamous 2, the Uncharted series, Mass Effect, Metro, Gears of War(I don't personally like the gameplay, but the story is pretty good), Alan Wake, and Halo. I hope that this helps. I also hope that I spelled relatable correctly.

I understand that. People often confuse my brother and I for twins, despite our three year age difference, opposite facial structure, and height differences.

I don't know. I rather like your avatar. Why have I not left for school yet?

I'd hit you with a tea cup.

I want to say pong, but I know that's not it. There was a game before it, I just know. Has anyone sneezed while driving and hit their head on the horn, or is it just me?
