blue boar club

as a male in the 18–35 age demographic,
i love me some video games [big surprise, yeah?]
and this week i finally got to play some again
after a few weeks of abstinence/lack of time
and as i was playing one of my favorites from high school,
[the one with, among other things, the angry bitey rabbits]
i could hear a song playing in my head,
but i couldn't remember what the hell it was
i stopped playing and looked it up
turns out, it was 'everything burns',
a song i used to listen to all the time when i played it

i'm not sure how often this happens with the rest of you,
but for me,
every game i play has a song/album i associate with it
going back all the way to my old computer games
and i every time i hear these songs
i always really want to play those games again
[kinda like my part–of–speech/color connection]

dunno if this is gonna interest anyone in the least,
but i'm gonna put some of these song/game combos up
maybe you'll find something you like from them
or, at the very least,
it'll give you something to make fun of me for
