if i had a nickel for every time...

…a late 2000s futuristic FPS game (with dubious status as an FPS) introducing never-before-seen movement mechanics that are used to their fullest potential featuring an athletic but non-sexualized female protagonist, had a radio-friendly song titled “Still Alive” playing over the end credits, i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

The final scene of Mirror’s Edge with that song makes me emotional every time

I’m not even angry

t3rmit3 ,

Mirror’s Edge was a fine game, but it never matched up to it’s best OST song: Warning Call

HiT3k ,

Chvrches is just so f***ing good, and their live shows are way better than you might expect. Their track on Death Stranding was also great. Hoping we get another for DS2.

BmeBenji ,

Don’t forget the dystopian settings

Corngood ,

That is weird.

For anyone else struggling with it, Mirrors Edge actually does end with a song called Still Alive.
