So last week, we talked about women. Well I recommended a bunch of stuff that related to women, because, you know, it was the Woman Day. However, it is no longer about all women, it is about a specific group of women, and that would be mothers. Where would we be without mothers ey? Well, not in existence. So today, I recommend shit based around them mothers, which was actually a lot harder than it sounds, I mean, I literally drew a blank on music, so instead of coping out, I got Dasha to write the music bit instead, you know, that person who wrote that one time we were ill. And did that one thing that will forever be in TGOI history. You know, this thing. Anyway, on with the mother loving show! Ha, you thought I was going to swear didn't you? Bet I made you freak out. I love links that aren't relevant to Mother's day.
Psycho - Alfred Hitchcock (Film)
So I could have discovered some sappy film about mothers and what not but no, why not go with the ultimate motherly film: Psycho. If you haven't heard about this film, I will enlighten you you poor rock dweller you. So Norman Bates is a fine gent who runs a motel, and looks after his mother (there's the link), until he encounters a female who come to his motel under suspicious circumstances. Hilarity ensues. I mean there is that one shower scene that will damn knock your socks off. All jokes aside, that is probably a really poor description of the film, and it is actually one of the greatest horror thrillers out there, created by one of, if not the greatest director of all time. Bit awkward considering how he was around women. Oh well, I guess no one is perfect. Oh and how could I forget, the music is insanely good. It does seem I always recommend the soundtracks of the games and movies I recommend. Probably because audio is key to everything. Just saying. (That was a sound joke.)
Headlights - Eminem (Music) - Guest Written by Dasha
I was very eager to write about this song for Mother’s Day because I've been listening to it non-stop lately. Seriously, I adore this song, and I want more people to know about it. (Sorry Chris, hopefully you can recommend Bohemian Rhapsody soon.) If you’re an Eminem fan, you are probably well aware of the song “Cleanin’ out my closet” that featured on the 2002 album The Eminem Show which is a song that describes Eminem’s bitter hatred towards his mother and how she was a “selfish bitch,” unable to look after him and his brother properly. The lyrics are bitter and harsh, really expressing the broken relationship between him and his mother, and how much he despises her. Some pretty sick burns in there if you ask me. Headlights from the 2013 album Marshall Mather LP 2 is an incredibly moving and personal song dedicated to Eminem’s mother. In the song, he expresses his extreme apologies for his past behaviour, and all of the hatred he expressed towards her in “Cleanin’ out my closet”. He realises that he is too late to fix the relationship he has with her, but he wishes for her forgiveness. This isn't the first song where Eminem has really expressed his deep feelings before, but it most certainly is the most moving for me personally because of how remorseful the lyrics sound. The video is excellent too. Made me shed a few tears, I'm not going to lie.
The Binding of Isaac - Head Up Games (Game)
So before I write this, I must confess something. I have played like 5 minutes of this game. Now before you kill me with fire, I want you to know that I kind of have a general gist of why this game is fantastic. Settled? Okay. So Binding of Isaac is a rogue-like dungeon crawler based around that one bible passage about killing the sun or whatever. You play as a small meat like creature called Isaac, and you run through randomly generated levels killing random monsters and bosses with your tears, all while you pick up mutations and make yourself super gross and powerful. The reason it is connected to mothers? Well, due to the fact that the reason Isaac is running through all the basement killing fucked up monsters and mutating or whatever is because God told his Mum to kill him. Isn't that delightful? (No, it fucking isn't.) So if this doesn't get you in the (what's left of) Mother's day spirit, most other things probably will. INDIE GAMES!
Mother of mercy, it's over. So did you love this super special Mother's day recommendation? Well if you did, let me know why! If you didn't, also let me know why. I NEED FEEDBACK IT KEEPS ME ALIVE EVEN IF IT'S THE WORST FEEDBACK I JUST WANT TO READ WHAT YOU GUYS WRITE PLEASE. Ahem, well, see you next week children, where we return to our regular formatting of coming up with shit themes last second. Unless it's Single Ladies day next Sunday or something.
Well, it has to be done now doesn't it? ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!
