There’s not much to say about this, you just need to watch it. I’ve already reblogged it via Tumblr but wanted to put it on here too. It’s a cover of Cat Steven’s song Here Comes My Baby, performed by a group of YouTube artists who are going under the name of Sons of Admirals for this project. They all have their own solo “careers”, but have combined to see what they can create as a whole.
There’s something about the voices on this group that just sound so good to me. It’s probably why I love their other works as well. As any good fan would do, here’s a link to buy the song via iTunes: http://bit.ly/soababy
For the longest time I felt bad for playing Farmville. That little Facebook game is frowned upon by most hardcore gamers and “normal people”, and that made me a little embarrassed to play it.
Fuck yeah Farmville!
I’ve since learned not to care so much what people think about my gaming habits, because if I want to invest a whole five minutes of my life in a social flash game, then why the hell not? It beats the monthly payments and investment of World of Warcraft, and only takes a few minutes and then I know I can leave it for a day or days at a time while the game still plays (crops grow, etc). It’s a fun little game that I can play if I have a couple of minutes spare and want to do something other than check my emails.
However, I understand lots of people see games like this and Mafia Wars as a complete waste of time and “retarded”. I also know many people who’d rather not admit that they play such games. These feelings cross to more than just flash and Facebook games; some people hide the fact they play Pokémon games, Final Fantasy and even Age Of Empires for fear that their friends will harass them about it (or something to that effect). It’s kind of weird that some games have such stigma surrounding them that people are embarrassed to play something that entertains them. I’m not a fan of these feelings and as such am trying to be a little more open and to not discriminate1.
With that said, is there a game that invokes such guilty feelings with you? Or are you one of the open ones who don’t give a damn?
Just because I dislike Final Fantasy doesn’t mean I dislike you, guy
