The sitar jangles a bit, and the horns play rough sometimes, but the general affect is soft, lavish, velvety, exquisite, a ray of light, so intensely devotional it expresses not lust but a nearly religious rapture; when Prince sings he sees tears from heaven, pennies from heaven, blessings from heaven, and big wet sloppy kisses.

But it was when the orchestra was at its most tender that it was at its best: the intractable sadness when the Marschallin shows Ochs the locket bearing a picture of Octavian; the dusk and regret at the start of her reflection on time and age; the pillows of rapture in the love duet for Octavian and Sophie.

We've seen it asked of Gone Home, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, That Dragon, Cancer, and many more titles before now—and, as the medium develops, it's a discussion that'll appear more frequently around new titles that go somewhere new with their style, playing out almost more like interactive films than what's typically regarded as a video game.

" Pompeo doesn't shy from a uniquely aggressive faith, using apocalyptic rhetoric to define America's fight against terrorism as an all-out clash between good and evil, between Islamic extremists and those who understand "that Jesus Christ is our savior, is truly the only solution for our world," and he's spoken as politics as "a never-ending struggle ... until the Rapture.

This reaction is a huge shift from my experience with last year's Summer Sale, where I dropped a lot of that month's paycheck on more games than I could ever attempt to get through—I was absolutely pumped to finally tackle games like the Mass Effect series, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, and The Stanley Parable, to name a few.
