Don't get me wrong I think That all of Rebecca's songs are impeccably good. She has an amazing voice and she is a wonderful lyricist. I just think she's lost her passion for video games as a medium/muse for her songs. I mean I could be completely wrong and she might love it. I'm just noticing a big difference from her earlier song reviews in comparison to her latter ones.
Her first song reviews were laced with lyrics which cleverly pointed out aspects or criticisms of games. One in particular that I like in this regard is her review of the reboot of Bionic Commando. Her lyrics referred to the game's repetitive and linear nature. You can actually compare her song to the Zero Punctuation review of the game and see that they both had similar criticisms of the game.
In the Halo Reach review I didn't see any references to the game at all. The main message of the song seemed to be using the game as a way to tell us to stop using a video game character in order to feel heroic and instead be heroic in our real lives. It's an inspiring message but seems kind of anti-video game in a way.
Today's video kind of poked fun at the idea of people holed up in their homes playing star craft all day.
I mean I could be simply crazy and sniffing too much glue but try looking at her recent songs/videos again with that kind of attitude in mind... maybe you'll see what I'm talking about.
Again I in no way was trying to insult Rebecca in any way. I think she's immensely talented. I just think she might be losing her passion for making songs about video games. Singers and song writers need to write songs about things they are passionate about, and when you're not all that into a video game I imagine it's quite hard and one might try to make the song about something they feel is more meaningful... just sayin.
Anyway I wish you all well and thanks for calling me out on sounding Trollish... it wasn't my intention.
