VERTIGO

"Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves."

    This past week I finally had enough time to give Skyrim the attention that it deserved and 40+ hours later I must say that there is an insane amount of content and adventure to be had. This is perhaps the greatest success of the game, the feeling of being in a large fantasy world with endless possibilities; even if the freedom is often an illusion. It’s a buggy game as well but surprisingly less so than I had anticipated and so far it is my second favorite Elder Scrolls game after Morrowind. I’m  happily playing a thief/assassin bow & dagger character since the melee combat made me want to kill myself after spending  so many hours in the brilliant Dark Souls.

“Set in 1999 Los Angeles, veteran police officer Dave Brown, the last of the renegade cops, works to take care of his family, and struggles for his own survival.” ― IMDb

Rampart was quite awesome, the plot could have been better, but Woody Harrelson’s performance was nothing short of amazing.

    My hand is copper.
    My brow is lead.
    Suffer me in a red patina swept along in a molten flow to a sad eternity.

    My stride interuppted.
    My thoughts untimed.
    My tears are become drops of silver, that shatter the crystaline fern.

    My heart it ceases.
    My breath undrawn.
    My eyes forever focused, on the sanguine metal dawn.

    This cinematic is from Thief 2: The Metal Age by former now sadly closed Looking Glass Studios. It really goes to show how with simple tech and a lot of imagination you can achieve amazing results. Not to mention that the writing ten years ago pretty much blows away anything I see today in modern games. I guess I’ll go ahead and sound like an old coot and just say that they really don’t make games like they used to.
