That's an easy one for me. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-O3kYrDPbI It's unrelentingly 80s, but the strength in this song is what it means, not what it sounds like. Message, not the music. This song is a very upbeat and happy song, but the lyrics are undoubtedly dark as they describe life under a totalitarianist regime. While this sort of clash isn't uncommon in music, it's the tools they use in the lyrical structure that make it beautiful. Welcome to your life There's no turning back Even while we sleep We will find you Acting on your best behaviour Turn your back on mother nature Everybody wants to rule the world It's my own design It's my own remorse Help me to decide Help me make the most Of freedom and of pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world There's a room where the light won't find you Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down When they do I'll be right behind you So glad we've almost made it So sad they had to fade it Everybody wants to rule the world I can't stand this indecision Married with a lack of vision Everybody wants to rule the world Say that you'll never never never never need it One headline why believe it ? Everybody wants to rule the world All for freedom and for pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world Even when everything is surrounded by darkness, there's always light somewhere to be found in the fold. From the storytelling element of having your freedoms stripped away from you despite sounding happy and the lyrical structure that includes that one bit of light and happy lyrics that describe always being there for someone and vice versa in spite of everything else being dark and bleak, the lyrics of this song are nothing short of pure art with a powerful message: Even when everything seems dark, there's always light to be found somewhere. For that reason, I can say this is the most powerful song I've ever heard and one of my all time favorites.

BioShock Infinite, Chrono Trigger, System Shock 2, Morrowind, and Gothic II all immediately come to mind. BioShock Infinite has one of the most unique and compelling stories and atmospheres in any game ever, and all the extremely subtle hints to the plot twist that you look back and see are just amazing. Such a thorough and amazing story that I'm more than willing to forgive the at times dull gameplay because that isn't what this game was about. The game was art, and it's a masterpiece no less. It's my favorite game of all time, and the era-appropriate covers of songs from now until then is something I love because it's just one of the many little clues of the true nature of the story that you might miss the first time through. It's just crazy and I love this game for being so artistic and inspired. Chrono Trigger because of the geniune emotion it makes you feel and compelling story and innovative gameplay, plus one of the most bitchin' soundtracks in any game ever. System Shock 2 for all the reasons BioShock is considered one - if you put the first BioShock as a thing on here, you really should take note that System Shock 2 is basically the original BioSShock, because BioShock is really pretty much the exact same thing but reskinned and with toned down difficulty, gameplay elements, and atmosphere. The last one in particular is saying something because BioShock had great atmosphere Morrowind for giving that feeling of grand adventure and maintaining an amazing and unique atmosphere all while keeping the open ended exploration a thing. It's really the best game in TES, and you should really check it out if you like that series. Another great soundtrack, by the way Gothic II for feeling so real. While many would consider its graphics dated by today's standards, it really was the original Skyrim in terms of having NPCs with distinct personalities and daily lives and schedules. This game is older than Morrowind, mind you, and Morrowind had very sterile cities and NPCs. Gothic II gave the NPCs personalities, routines, schedules, and lives, and the world around you just feels so alive. Unlike Skyrim, it had a lot of soul without having to be modded constantly and it wasn't dumbed down in the slightest. Even the most experienced RPG enthusiast would have trouble with this one. Very unforgiving and difficult RPG with a very alive world, and that's quite the accomplishment for 2002. Underrated gem, for sure, and I dare say I like it more than any games in TES.

Best: BioShock Infinite Worst: Portal Not saying Portal is the worst game of all time, but out of the ones I've played so far it is. I never actually wanted to fall asleep in the middle of a game I heard the sequel was better, but not interested really.

That comic is pretty epic btw js

It smells awful and tastes worse. Mayonaise in general is just not great, and certainly not fit for the diet of someone who partakes in bowling. Great song by the Smashing Pumpkins, though

This is going to sound mean-spirited, but I certainly hope it does just as negative karma for the nasty shit that Valve pulled just a while back when they basically stole money from a bunch of people with nothing in return. How that hasn't gotten more press is beyond me. I won't buy it. I'm pretty miffed at Valve as a whole right now, and I'm starting to look at GoG for my games more and more because of this. Furthermore, I have a PC that can run a lot of games pretty well (especially since I tend to lean to older games) and I'm going to be hitting a rough spot financially when I get to college here soon in all likelihood. Just not feeling it, honestly.
