When I made a space game, we immeadiately decided that our trailers would have a rock track – all other space games seemed to thing you had to have an orchestra pushing the majesty of space, so we went another way. And while there were a satisfying handful of people who complained (“That’s NOT appropriate music for this type of game”), thus cementing our decision, there was a lot of “that’s awesome – thank god, no strings in space.”<\/p>\n

But that was small, that was web-based. Imagine just how happy I was when I spotted the Gears of War commercial on TV.

\nSo perfect – visually we follow the war-weary hero through the rubble of a now-dead city, and the Tears for Fears lyrics fill in the blanks.
\n
\nAll around me are familiar faces,
\nWorn out places,
\nWorn out faces,
\nBright and early for the daily races,
\nGoing nowhere,
\nGoing nowhere,
\nTheir tears are filling up their glasses,
\nNo expression,
\nNo expression,
\nHide my head I wanna drown my sorrow,
\nNo tomorrow,
\nNo tomorrow,
\nAnd I find it kind of funny,
\nI find it kind of sad,
\nThe dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had,
\nI find it hard to tell you,
\nI find it hard to take,
\nWhen people run in circles,
\nIt’s a very very,
\nMad world,
\nMad world.<\/p>\n

I’m going to go watch it again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
