#AH WAH JESUS GRAB CROWBAR DEFEND SELF FUCK WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!

[arsgoeteia]

i’ve been seeing a lot of people talkin about how the blue shift (/opposing force) soundtrack makes them feel empowered or ready to take on whatever comes next and i.... get a VASTLY different vibe from it. it activates my fight or flight, man, it drags up fear and dread for what’s around the corner. like... it’s panic music dude

#THAT'S NOT TO SAY IT ISN'T GOOD IT'S VERY VERY GOOD I LOVE IT A LOT #it just has a major fear element to it imo #like...i really feel like some fucking guy who was just trying to fix some stupid elevator and then the world blew up #and now there's ALIENS AND MILITARY? AND THEY'RE ALL TRYING TO KILL ME? GOOD GOD!!!!! #i do NOT feel like some badass super solider i want to go HOME!!! #i haven't played much opposing force but i do feel the Power and Strength:tm: side of the soundtrack when playing that #i think it's the fact that you're playing as like. a soldier. who's a bit more ready for this sort of shit #as opposed to A SECURITY OFFICER #god i love barney calhoun so much respect for him wish this never happened </3 #my guy deserves so much #hl #sixpost #edit: the 'just a guy and the world ended' sentiment is there for regular hl1 too but like #the music in hl1 and just the way it plays is also very much 'i'm epic and badass i can take on the world!' #in blue shift it's. just not like that to me #when the elevator crashed my stomach literally DROPPED and when soothing antagonist played it was instant OH GOD OH CHRIST #AH WAH JESUS GRAB CROWBAR DEFEND SELF FUCK WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!! #i didn't grab the crowbar and go 'oh fuck yeah. aliens to kill >:]' #i'm repeating myself i feel but. #GOD I JUST HAVE THOUGHTS #long tags
