I really liked the way that hellomei did this one, so I'm gonna play copycat! Ehe.

1. episode (+ character): Better Call Saul, Season 1 Episode 6, Five-O. Mike Ehrmantraut...my god Mike. He is such a complicated character, and BCS has been spoiling me so much with lots of him. I was so crushed at the end of Breaking Bad, so as soon as he appeared in BCS I'm pretty sure I actually started squealing like a little animal. He is so complicated and flawed, but I can't help but be absolutely in love with him...This episode especially was exactly what I was hoping for in seeing...learning more about him, seeing him in pain, seeing him so EMOTIONAL AGH I FELT SO SPOILED!!!!! I was struck silent by it. I'm being vague on purpose please go watch BCS but oh to snuggle up to him while he cries.

2. song: Eulogy from Hypnospace Outlaw. Don't read the comments if you haven't finished the game! There are spoilers there! Anyway. I remember the first time I encountered this song in the game... waauuuuh...Hypnospace made me cry many different times, but this was one of the ones where I cried the hardest. Jay Tholen's way with composition really warms my heart, the music of this game stuck with me for so long after I'd finished it, I remember so vividly the way that I felt while I played through the main storyline, I really should go back and do it again just to experience it all over again.

3. entire canon: This may sound silly, I really really like the absolutely ridiculousness of the Katamari Damacy Series. It makes absolutely no sense, but it's adorable and I always have fun playing a new game and learning what part of the greater universe that The King of All Cosmos has destroyed this time and is expecting his teeny tiny boy to clean up. I need to play We <3 Katamari again...

4. scene: The scene in Kentucky Route Zero where you first meet Weaver.I remember it so vividly because it was in that exact moment that the game truly pulled me in and did not let me go. Past about 2 minutes into this video is when it really starts to become evident that you are playing something that is going to stick with you. And it does. I'm still haunted by this game a full year after playing it, and I want to go back and make different decisions to see if the outcome of the game does indeed change, or if I am stuck with what I have gotten due to the type of person that I am the types of choices that I will probably make over and over again just based on this. Agh. What a game. Please play it if you get the chance. I also have it to thank for my name so..ehe...yes.. please check it out if you'd like!

That song is really pretty, very soft and bitter sweet.

The Katamari canon is so ridiculous, and it works so well with the game itself and the picking up of ridiculous things into a ball of stuff. And we love the King of All Cosmos and his tendency to break the universe for various reasons.

I used to love Katamari! Haven't played it in ages, but I have a warm spot for it.
