What an emotional finale for sure. Overall it had its good and bad moments though.
I loved most of that funeral scene. Even just seeing George's picture by the casket was real sad. As sad as it had to be for the cast to film it, I sure hope if Lance Barber was in the casket (I'm guessing it really was him in the casket and not just some dummy they made?) he got people laughing in-between takes.
Saddest part for sure was Missy saying goodbye and then flashing back to the dinner date. Definitely the most emotional scene in it all.
For good and bad reasons I liked how different everyone's grieving process was. Mary diving into religion, Missy obviously missing her dad and hating seeing everyone trying to get over it/move on in their own way instead of mourning like she did, Georgie stepping up as the man of the family, Sheldon completely shutting down, Mee Maw struggling with seeing everyone grieving.
Some stuff I felt was typical tv sitcom like, like Wayne being more sad than anyone seemingly (and Mary being the one to have to comfort him) and Mee Maw cracking jokes to try lightening the mood at the funeral.
Despite the memoirs episode showing that Sheldon hadn't truly learned/appreciated the things his parents did, I liked the funeral one at least with him admitting that for all the times he focused on his dad's flaws (which could also explain BBT too), it wasn't until he got older (in his 40s) that he really understood everything about his dad, he was just a regular guy doing the best he could for his family.
In terms of stuff I hated about the finale, I hated how they skipped time so much in it. Last episode ends with them finding out about George's death, then we're just past it and about to be at the funeral here? I know they were showing Sheldon was the one shutting down, just sucks that it had to happen (and explains his lack of empathy in BBT). And Missy just turning more into the moody teenager and didn't even get much of a proper ending or continuation at all.
One thing I did really like though was seeing Georgie really stepping up and taking George's place. Too bad the new spinoff isn't more about that because it seemed like he really could do well in that role for the show.
Sidenote, was Georgie picking up George's suit supposed to just be him getting a suit for George for the funeral, or was he picking up George's suit that he was actually going to wear for the family photo but instead they turned it into his funeral clothes (which would've been sad).

Please comment on the post before message me for codes. Preferred payment is PayPal Friends and Family! But I can also do Cashapp, Zelle, Facebook Pay, Venmo or Amazon/Vudu gift cards as payment if need be.
I am open to trades if I don't already own it in my own personal collection. A list of codes I'm currently looking for and would trade for will be at the very bottom of my sales list.

Throwdown

crybaby’s world (through the first two albums & movie) is wonderfully expansive and complex. the more “magical” and ethereal shift in tone seemed to happen around tag you’re it, all the way to mad hatter, before k-12’s release, which had been implied since the crybaby mv, but increased in intensity and perhaps represents crybaby’s control over her powers through her childhood. there are a few topics i’d like to go over, such as—
blue boys:
crybaby has had numerous experiences with boys colored in blue, perhaps representing the basic masculine qualities in them. the first blue boy in pacify her is described as a “man” and goes for the girl who shows off her breasts in order to steal him away from crybaby, as well as her implied negative experience in play date, perhaps putting a sour taste in her mouth, leading her to feel disdain towards the numerous blue boys she attends school with, now represented as immature young boys. this may also influence the way she feels towards the teacher who abuses her best friend. her father is also a cheater, and his murder that she stumbled upon as a child (possibly even a toddler) may have influenced her view on men in general, and how they treat the women around them. the combination of her mother being a murderer and her first crush being easily swayed by sexual acts likely changed her perspective on romance, leading to her feelings in highschool sweethearts. however, ben is the one boy who treats her like a human being and cares for her, not for her body or for her status, but for who she is inside.
ghosts / spirits:
the ghosts that reside in the school have always fascinated me due to the fact that it hadn’t exactly been touched on extensively. i’d like to speak a little more about crybaby’s father, rather than the renaissance looking ghosts in the ballroom. in class fight, the lyrics read “no, don’t you choke, daddy chimed in, go for the throat” when we know crybaby’s father has been dead long before this point. this doesn’t exactly imply she’s speaking to ghosts, but moreso that she is empathetic enough to tap into what she knows her father would tell her in life. however, the spirits residing in the school seem almost vengeful, as if they are previous students doomed to be stuck in the vicinity of where they were heavily traumatized in life.
empathy and magical abilities:
the usage of empathy is representational of what gives crybaby her powers. she is almost “enlightened” in a way, along with her other black-eyed peers. angelita says “we are capable of doing whatever we want, remember?” in class fight’s intermission scene. it seems that the powers don’t grow over time, but are fully evolved at birth. the medicine (implied to be antidepressants) given to crybaby and her peers also seems to cancel out her powers, leaving her emotional state dampened, leading to a loss of empathy that provides them their abilities. however, songs like show and tell and tag you’re it reveal that others may have powers or magical abilities, not harbored through pure empathy, but through evil. she’s turned into a puppet and gutted, sent to the nurse, only for angelita to save her through the power of empathy, possibly feeling what crybaby feels in the moment and connecting with her. it seems as if students being turned into puppets and objects, only to be sent to the nurse to be “fixed” is a common experience, crybaby being used as an example for the class. based on lilith’s words in nurse’s office, empathy ultimately provides immortality, because in crybaby’s universe, empaths are the only ones who strive to learn more about others and themselves, who want to live more lives than simply this one. empaths seek knowledge about human beings and who/how they love, whereas the others only care for themselves. believe it or not, there is an empath character in-universe that most haven’t heard of, only showing herself in the k-12 tour song intermissions, named ms. victoria. she is a substitute teacher at the sleepaway school, serving as a mentor for crybaby and the audience, possibly being guided or controlled by lilith. she teaches multiple lessons while melanie and her dancers change outfits and sets, which are titled: bus etiquette, community over competition, finding validation within yourself, trust how you feel, protecting your energy, appreciating your vessel, and self love/self worth. ms. victoria was likely created solely for the k-12 tour, but there is no reason not to believe she was a character that existed and influenced crybaby’s personality and abilities.
i’d LOVE to hear your opinions, add ons, disagreements, anything. crybaby’s universe and story as a whole is my special interest so i’d love any feedback <33

So I know that everyone loves differently and all that, and it’s cliche to be like “oh, I love him” “im in love” as a teenager but it isn’t like that for me. I’m not sure Ben big on trying to find romance my 15 years of life so far. I haven’t had a boyfriend before and this guy, he’s more than JUST a guy to me, he was my great guy friend before I started liking him, before we started liking each other like over a year ago. I feel like my connection with him is great. We’d talk on the phone, we’d spend every second together at school when we could together and there’s more to it, ofc but idk if I should get into that. The thing is, I’ve always been big on not wanting to be in a relationship. Not wanting to explore the whole romance thing. I’ve just always known I wanted to focus on school, but it happened, I liked him, he’d be there by my side all the time, carrying my stuff, forehead kisses dropping me off at classes, so much more. He was just into me and wasn’t scared to show it. But we weren’t “together” and I told him even before, he knew how I was before we started liking each other that I didn’t wanna date anyone. Anyway, things went down, we stopped talking as we would before but I miss him, I know he misses me too and I told him the other day when we were hanging out at school, then I texted him this whole thing, and lowkey didn’t really bother talking about it. And I’ve been taking to my teacher about it, he said I should try to think about what makes me happy before thinking about the issues that might arise and put me first and all that, but the issue is I’m a huge over thinker and idk what to do. I just kinda want someone to listen to me

La llarona
Known as Maltinzin in her original nomenclature, today, the lore of La Llorona is well known in Mexico and the southwestern United States.
The earliest documentation of La Llorona is traced back to 1550 in Mexico City. But there are theories about her story being connected to specific Aztec mythological creation stories. "The Hungry Woman" includes a wailing woman constantly crying for food, which has been compared to La Llorona's signature nocturnal wailing for her children. The motherly nature of La Llorona's tragedy has been compared to Chihuacoatl, an Aztec goddess deity of motherhood. Her seeking of children to keep for herself is significantly compared to Coatlicue, known as "Our Lady Mother" or Tonantsi (who's also comparable to the Virgen de Guadalupe, another significant mother figure in Mexican-culture), also a monster that devours filth or sin.
The legend of La Llorona is traditionally told throughout Mexico, Central America and northern South America. La Llorona is sometimes conflated with La Malinche, the Nahua woman who served as Hernán Cortés' interpreter and also bore his son. La Malinche is considered both the mother of the modern Mexican people and a symbol of national treachery for her role in aiding the Spanish.
Stories of weeping female phantoms are common in the folklore of both Iberian and Amerindian cultures. Scholars have pointed out similarities between La Llorona and the Cihuacōātl of Aztec mythology,as well as Eve and Lilith of Hebrew mythology. Author Ben Radford's investigation into the legend of La Llorona, published in Mysterious New Mexico, found common elements of the story in the German folktale "Die Weisse Frau" dating from 1486.La Llorona also bears a resemblance to the ancient Greek tale of the demigoddess Lamia, in which Hera, Zeus' wife, learned of his affair with Lamia and killed all the children Lamia had with Zeus. Out of jealousy over the loss of her own children, Lamia kills other women's children.
The Florentine Codex is an important text that originated in late Mexico in 1519, a quote from which is, "The sixth omen was that many times a woman would be heard going along weeping and shouting. She cried out loudly at night, saying, "Oh my children, we are about to go forever." Sometimes she said, "Oh my children, where am I to take you?"
While the roots of the La Llorona legend appear to be pre-Hispanic, the earliest published reference to the legend is a 19th-century sonnet by Mexican poet Manuel Carpio.The poem makes no reference to infanticide, rather La Llorona is identified as the ghost of a woman named Rosalia who was murdered by her husband

Rewatching P&R and although I love his comedic bits, Chris as a person sucks. He creates the stupid no dating rule and then puts his best friend through a trial because of it, forces Tom to sell his share in the snake hole lounge rather than giving him a warning first, Is really sucky towards Ann at first and then suddenly likes her again while she's dating Tom and then doesn't like her and then likes her again once she's finally happy being single and just generally irritates me when he's soseverly depressed over being single.... When he wouldn't date Ann...
Also let's not forget to mention him suspending Leslie for dating his best friend
Anyways. Yeah. He sucks.
**Update okay, okay I yield to the Leslie and Ben thing as well as the Tom thing, I think for both of those things the writing could've been better for the Chris character.
I still don't like how he treats Ann throughout the show, and as someone else stated other things that bothered me were him bringing that horrible cake to Andy and April's wedding because he didn't want to eat real cake (which feels selfish) and not cooking Ron a steak (which also feels selfish) after his favorite steakhouse had closed.
Thank you to those of you that added to the discussion and made great jokes (Shout-out to the person who posted one of my favorite moments in the whole series "Stop. Pooping." You are the MVP.)

GO GET YOUR FLAIR IN THE SIDEBAR!

Alright, comrades! Today's film is one of the most infamous of the 1980s: Red Dawn. Directed by John Melius, fresh off producing Uncommon Valor, it's a highly entertaining picture that also happens to be a blatant piece of propaganda, much like Missing in Action and Exterminator 2, which we watched this week. All these films glorify vigilantism as a patriotic cause: taking the law into your own hands to incinerate petty criminals, flying to a foreign country based on second-hand information and conspiracy theories, and in Red Dawn, celebrating the American militia as the last defense of truth, justice, and the American way!
Released on August 10, 1984, this was the first film released with the PG-13 rating. This new rating system attracted many teenagers to see the picture. According to many people who were teenagers in the eighties, this was a must-watch. The record-breaking 134 acts of violence certainly didn't hurt viewership. Neither did the cast. Boasting an all-star lineup with huge names like Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Darren Dalton, Jennifer Grey, Powers Boothe, Brad Savage, Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton, and many more familiar faces.
In the face of a sudden invasion by Soviet, Cuban, and Nicaraguan forces, a group of American teenagers in a small Colorado town find themselves thrust into a fight for survival. Escaping the occupied town, they form a guerrilla resistance movement called the Wolverines, utilizing their resourcefulness and courage to fight back against the invaders.
The screenplay, written by the duo of Milius and Kevin Reynolds, features interesting characters with admirable tenacity and will to survive. However, the film itself falters. It raises numerous unanswered questions and leaves loose ends unaddressed. The focus leans heavily toward far-right propaganda rather than developing relatable characters or exploring themes of humanity. Steeped in 1980s ultra-conservative views, the film presents an alternate universe where the world descends into chaos due to liberal policies and nuclear disarmament. This world supposedly finds salvation only through nationalism and anti-socialist ideals.
John Milius has gone on record as saying that a lot of the script was cut down significantly. This was a combination of efforts from the studio and Milius himself to prioritize action sequences. This results in a lot on the viewer to understand the film's world and understand the whole setting. The teenagers learn how to become a cohesive fighting force in just a few months time. However, we don't see this training or even a mention of how they plan their attacks and ambushes. Leaving viewers to fill in these gaps.
The cast is a promising bunch of young actors, many on the cusp of breakout roles. Patrick Swayze delivers a decent performance as Jed, but Charlie Sheen's acting is underwhelming, particularly the scene where he cries to his father through a cage. Lea Thompson and Jennifer Grey were underused. Thompson mentioned her character originally had a more significant role and a romantic arc with Colonel Andy Tanner, which would have been unusual given the age difference. However, the film prioritizes macho posturing and gun-fights, over character development. It's clearly a popcorn flick and not an Oscar contender.
Red Dawn's Cold War anxieties feel eerily relevant today. Multiple global conflicts rage on, and Russia's aggression under President Putin echoes the film's portrayal of a surprise invasion. The rise of right-wing extremism in the US and the ongoing debate over gun control in the face of mass shootings fuel the film's themes. In this climate, the movie's portrayal of a youth militia fighting back feels more provocative than ever. With logic and common sense seemingly under siege, the threat of civil unrest hangs heavy in the air.
That being said, it's important to remember when watching movies like this that it's all for entertainment. You can appreciate it simply as a movie. It's funny! Despite my strong liberal leanings and my aversion to conservatives and right-wing extremists, I also really love watching this movie. It's a cheesy delight, fun in a nostalgic cable-TV kind of way. Like many movies from this era, it's not perfect, but undeniably entertaining. Three stars.

Having trouble finding some nice deep wubby bass music. My brain has an itch for it but almost everything I find is trash. Tracks in this style I've been enjoying recently are the new Caribou single Honey, Sinkhole by Pearson Sound, some Adam Pitts tracks. I also dig a lot of the bassy stuff Ben UFO, Four Tet, Floating Points etc play in their sets. I'm pretty familiar with Hessle Audio but I want to go deeper, just having trouble getting started. Dirtybird is a little too corny/dated sounding.. you guys know what I mean. Labels, playlists, artist recs are much appreciated. Peace
Edit: Thanks so much. I'm way stoked to dig into all these recs.

Missy loved to shop.
No, she wasn't one of those spoiled brats buying up all the Jimmy Choos on Rodeo. She was sensible, practical; a thrifter. There hadn't been a garage, yard or estate sale in a 20 mile area she didn't ravage. Twice a week, if not more, she would rampage through every clearance aisle in town. No Goodwill or Salvation Army was safe either. "The Circuit," her kids who didn't understand her compulsion always called it.
The only thing Missy enjoyed more than buying stuff was keeping it.
Over time, her home had become a certifiable death trap. Boxes of outdated appliances stacked high atop every seating surface, unrelinquished clothes filled up every square centimeter of every closet and a smorgasbord of cheap nick-nacks had eventually added up to an expensive collection that was worth nothing.
Guests had been few and far, including her children. Brian hadn't even called her since that wife of his broke her ankle walking to the bathroom. Missy always assumed she was faking it on her son's orders to make her feel guilty. At least they didn't bother her anymore. Cortney was on a mission to take everything away from her. Didn't she realize this was all gonna be hers one day? Was it so hard to be grateful? It wasn't like she was covered in dog shit and roaches. This was good, clean stuff.
"It's us or the shit," the daughter gave her an ultimatum one day.
The repeated warnings started going to voicemail. Very worried and even angrier, Cortney drove the two hours for an emergency intervention she planned on the fly. The traumatic memories of living in a cluttered home flooded back the entire route. The dad who gave up, the embarrassment of lying to friends, Thanksgiving gatherings cut short so mom could pregame for her decimation of Kohl's. That was even before Black Friday was even a thing. That was all that mattered. That was all she talked about. In Missy's world, whoever had the most stuff won.
"Jesus," her brother recoiled in repulsion upon breaking down the door, nearly getting side-swiped by three long unused mops in the process.
Their rotted mother sat on the lone unoccupied spot of the crammed sofa, her tissue fused with a bin full of frayed cords, a giant pile of DVD cases (most missing the discs,) and periodicals dating back to the Clinton Years. Missy, or what used to be Missy, demanded their exit, already sensing their disapproval. The called squad was scared off by the squelch and the yelp of pain upon picking up a piece of the assimilation.
City officials are too scared to condemn Missy's Museum of Massive Miscellany to this very day. Years have passed and even the vermin stay away. This doesn't bother the inhabitant. She may be the only one in there but she would never be alone.

So it's completed guys , now it feels so weird to let go these characters although I have some episodes left in tbbt ,but this young Sheldon feels as new series more than a spinoff , because some of the characters feel different from the tbbt First is George I felt he is a dad who took care family but didn't involve with his family members emotional while watching tbbt . But man he is the sweetest character and the daddy daughters dates are the best (definitely having with my daughter if I have any in future) . Missy I felt they could have done more with her character In one episode Sheldon says she has loving family members and friends and he has both of them with a noble prize. But they could have given her a career , I know the series is from late 80s and early 90s. But watching her character i felt she would have ended up at least in good job
But in opposite Georgie character is well connected His business oriented approach for his career His speciality in tyres and all No issues.

Remember to sort by new to keep up!

Bonjour,
Je viens à vous parce qu'on me fait tourner en bourrique et je ne sais pas trop suis je suis mesure d'espérer une quelconque réelle réponse de leur part, et encore moins un dédommagement. Je n'ai néanmoins que très peu envie de 'laisser courir'.
J'ai passé plusieurs commandes fin Avril, dont deux que je devais recevoir par Colissimo à la date du 3 Mai (mails de livraison de leur part à l'appui). Le jour-dit, ma factrice passe à son heure de tournée habituelle et me remets deux colis en main propre, car l'un d'entre eux était trop volumineux pour ma boite aux lettres. Parmi ces deux colis remis en main propre, un seul des deux colissimos que j'attendais. Aucun nouveau mail, je me tourne donc vers le suivi de colis: le voilà annoncé pour le 4 Mai. Bon, tant pis.
Environ 2h après les faits, je reçois un nouveau mail de la part de Colissimo m'annonçant que mon colis vient d'être livré directement dans ma boite. En effet, il y'a désormais une enveloppe à bulles...que je trouve bien plate et légère. Après l'avoir ouverte, j'ai la désagréable surprise de ne trouver que la facture du produit commandé à l'intérieur. Après inspection, je trouve une incision propre effectuée sous le sticker d'envoi - discrète, mais assez longue pour y faire passer le produit que j'attendais.
J'ai contacté le service Colissimo par téléphone et déposée une réclamation. Malheureusement, selon eux, la livraison s'est effectué normalement et le livreur n'a pas constaté de détérioration du colis. J'ai beau les relancer (mails, téléphone et visite physique à mon bureau de poste), ils n'ont de cesse de me renvoyer la même réponse automatique.
Aucune réponse sur le fait que j'ai eue deux livraisons dans la même journée par leur service, aucun commentaire sur le fait que j'ai eu un colis intact livré en main propre, et un colis endommagé glissé dans ma boite silencieusement près de 2 heures plus tard.
Ils ont bien tenté d'avancer la possibilité qu'une tierce personne serait responsable du vol ('nous n'avons pas l'accès exclusif aux boites aux lettres'), mais il faut une clé ou sonner chez quelqu'un pour rentrer dans mon allée, et ma boite ne présente aucun signe d'infraction.
Colissimo semble vouloir se laver les mains de cette histoire, et comme dit plus-haut, se contentent de me balancer des réponses automatique et identiques. Je peine à croire que le voleur n'est pas parmi eux; colis ouvert au lieu d'être volé entièrement, boite aux lettres intacte, livraison bizarre, etc
Ils m'ont conseillé de porter plainte...ben oui mais du coup, contre eux? Est-ce seulement possible de porter plainte contre un organisme tel que La Poste? Ne vais-je pas simplement me prendre un beau 'ma parole de miséreuse contre celle du géant du courrier'? Puis-je faire quoi que ce soit?
[MAJ] Le vendeur semble être en faute et a peut être bien essayé de m'endormir. Je vais regarder de très près et voir si je peux me faire rembourser. A eux, semble-t-il de s'insurger de ce vol de colis. Merci!

Critic Reviews

CGMagazine - Justin Wood - 5 / 10

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes fails to capture its intended mystery-filled story because of having to headbutt against puzzles non-stop and some glaring control issues.

COGconnected - Jaz Sagoo - 80 / 100

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a twisted puzzle adventure like no other. The high-brow approach to gameplay requires you to read pages from books to learn the fundamentals that enshroud the range of conundrums that you’ll come across. Simogo don’t underestimate your ability, leaving you to ponder clues and work out the solution. While this can halt your progress and lead to cycling around the same puzzles, it makes decryption much more satisfying. The game stubbornly sticks to its principles to the detriment of accessibility, however, losing yourself to the deep layers of intrigue makes this an unforgettable trip.

Checkpoint Gaming - Luke Mitchell - 9 / 10

Not many experiences will take you on an emotional rollercoaster in the way that Lorelei and the Laser Eyes does. Like the best in the puzzle genre, it makes you feel unbelievably dumb one moment and like an incomparable genius the next. Its dark narrative takes you on a journey full of twists and turns, as its giant hotel full of riddles tests your resolve and brainpower in thrilling, unique ways. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a game that will stick with you, cementing Simogo as one of the most compelling and fascinating developers in the industry. Don't miss this one.

Digital Chumps - Nathaniel Stevens - 9.5 / 10

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes from developer Simogo and publisher Annapurna Interactive is a strange and wonderous new direction for Simogo’s post-Sayonara Wild Hearts success. It’s a beautiful mixture of thick narrative and difficult puzzles that ask a lot of the player but deliver an equal amount by the end. Some players may get frustrated by the beginning of the game as it gives you little direction on what you should be doing, but once they’re on the progression rails, the game rolls and gets better.

Digital Trends - Giovanni Colantonio - 5 / 5

The cryptic Lorelei and the Laser Eyes may very well be the greatest puzzle game ever made.

DualShockers - Jack Coleman - 9.2 / 10

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a surreal and mysterious puzzle game that executes perfectly on its vision. A potential all-timer for fans of the genre.

Everyeye.it - Gennaro Saraino - Italian - 9 / 10

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is undoubtedly one of the best puzzle games of this generation.

Game Rant - Dalton Cooper - 5 / 5

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes can sometimes feel like the Dark Souls of puzzle games, but no one will regret challenging themselves to solve its many mysteries. Players who enjoy analyzing complex stories will have a blast taking apart the many layers to Lorelei and the Laser Eye's bizarre tale, while those looking for an addicting puzzle game will find it to be an incredibly satisfying adventure. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a must-play puzzle game and one of the genre's best.

GameSpew - Kim Snaith - 9 / 10

Perplexing and often pretentious, yet compelling and wonderfully accomplished, it's safe to say you won't have played anything quite like Lorelei and the Laser Eyes before. Filled with puzzles and mystery at every turn, once you step foot inside the intriguing Hotel Letztes Jahr, you won't be able to pull yourself way.

GamesRadar+ - Rachel Watts - 4.5 / 5

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is an intricate puzzle box of interconnected parts. At times it can feel overwhelming, but ultimately this stylish noir's captivating puzzle design anthology and spellbinding story feels like an entirely new and contemporary kind of puzzle game.

God is a Geek - Chris White - 8 / 10

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is filled with tricky puzzles that require patience, pens and plenty of paper, but can be hugely satisfying.

Guardian - Keith Stuart - 5 / 5

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a riveting puzzle game, which uses its eerie visuals and elusive story as an intrinsic element of the experience rather than a mere design affectation. It is a game that asks subtle questions about the nature of creativity and play, and later it takes a breathtakingly meta turn that will thrill those who remember Kojima’s tricks in the Metal Gear Solid series. It is also a meditation on the troubled relationship between art and commerce, and quite frankly, there could not be a more timely concern for a video game to explore.

Hardcore Gamer - Jordan Helm - 5 / 5

A masterfully-orchestrated series of puzzles that are both stand-alone and interconnected alike, a brilliant use of a more-restricted color palette emboldening its art-style and aesthetic. And best of all: one of the most curious, perplexing but ultimately satisfying mysteries to see fully unraveled and revealed in its truest form. Combined, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes stands as Simogo's best work to date. Even with a portfolio as creative as theirs, a release deserving of that most lofty of titles: magnum opus.

Hobby Consolas - David Rodriguez - Spanish - 88 / 100

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a new hit for the creators of Sayonara Wild Hearts. This narrative mystery adventure catches you at the first sign of change and forces you to step out of your comfort zone to face all kinds of puzzles full of imagination.

Nintendo Life - Chris Scullion - 8 / 10

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is one of the most unique-looking games you'll see on the Switch, and it's got the substance to back up the style. Its heavy emphasis on puzzles and its refusal to throw players a bone when they need help may not be to everyone's tastes, but anyone up for a mental challenge in what's essentially an elaborate escape room will love it.

PC Gamer - Autumn Wright - 89 / 100

A thrilling mystery that asks players to rise to its challenges, and rewards them when they do.

PC Invasion - Leo Gillick - 7 / 10

A wonderfully stylish game with puzzles that will have you pondering way beyond the confines of your playtime. The whole mysterious package is nicely wrapped up in a plot that will have you guessing just as much as the varied conundrums.

Paste Magazine - Elijah Gonzalez - 8.8 / 10

Altogether though, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a game with vision. It wraps intriguing puzzles in a digital gothic framic. It makes the most of its chosen medium as it forces us to navigate the tenuous details of this backdrop. Just about every layer of the experience is creatively risky, from its fragmented narrative to its uncompromising barrage of challenges, but these gambles largely pay off to deliver something with purpose and direction. Crafting this kind of maze isn’t easy; it takes a combination of subtle guidance and faith in your audience. But despite these challenges, Simogo never loses sight of how to stoke curiosity about what’s lurking around the next corner, whether it’s a treasure you’ve been seeking or, conversely, something horrible lurking in the dark.

Press Start - James O'Connor - 9 / 10

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a wonderfully intricate, amazing piece of game design. It's intimidating and challenging, but it rewards all the effort you put into it. One of the best games of 2024 so far.

Screen Rant - Ben Brosofsky - 4.5 / 5

To return to the start, there's still a lot to say about what this game is. It's equal parts literary and mathy. It's elusive but self-aware. It's romantic, in fits. It's something best played with pen and paper, even if it doesn't seem necessary for a while. It's a story told as fantasy, history, parable, and performance. It's Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. And it could very well be the best game that comes out this year.

Shacknews - Donovan Erskine - 8 / 10

Lorelei and the Lasers Eyes delivers challenging puzzles alongside a mystifying narrative. It successfully trains your brain to overanalyze, experiment, and ask questions. All hallmarks of an excellent puzzle game. I was frustrated by some technical design decisions that slowed the pace and led to unintentional errors, but still had a thoroughly good time working my way through this otherworldly puzzle box.

Spaziogames - Domenico Musicò - Italian - 8 / 10

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a wonderful puzzle game shrouded in mistery, with a deep story about lost memories and the complexity of the mind.

TheGamer - Tessa Kaur - 5 / 5

You should just play Lorelei and the Laser Eyes instead of reading about it. I’ve never seen a game quite like it, and I can’t imagine I’ll see anything like it again anytime soon. It ticks all the boxes for a puzzle game that is just as intelligently and thoughtfully designed as it is atmospheric and fascinating, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Twinfinite - Lewis Rees - 4 / 5

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes isn’t a perfect game. It isn’t a game for everyone, and even fans of puzzle games like the Zero Escape series might find that this isn’t their tastes. In a world filled with Michael Bay, this is Luis Bunuel. It’s a game created with a distinct vision that isn’t out to please everyone. This isn't a game that cares about being liked by everyone: it cares about being loved by a smaller group. It’s a puzzle box where any narrative is almost an afterthought. It’s there, if you dig into it, but the greater satisfaction comes from finding a way forward.

WellPlayed - Mark Isaacson - 9.5 / 10

David Lynch would be proud of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. It's wild, clever and compelling in the best of ways, absurd in its visual style and challenging in its puzzles. Do not let this one pass you by.

Cigarettes and rebellion have always gone hand-in-hand, and in an age of cigarette packet-sized health warnings, now more than ever, smoking a fag says: 'I do not give a fuck.' But if Brandon Flowers is hoping to strike a seditious pose by sparking up at the start of the interview, it's not going according to plan. The Killers' frontman is on all fours rooting through the junk that carpets the anteroom at the band's rehearsal space. "Has anyone seen my lighter?" he asks, rocking back on his heels. The question hangs in the air while Brandon cocks his head, waiting for an answer like a meerkat listening for a predator. Twenty-five years old and with a delicate bone structure, there's something almost dainty about him. Receiving no response, he returns to his search. "Oh, Jeez," he sighs. "I had it just a minute ago."
It's a scene that emphatically does not suggest a rebel without a cause. The mess isn't helping. The Killers' HQ - an industrial unit sandwiched between a construction supplier and the offices of a housing development just off Dean Martin Drive in West Las Vegas - is ankle-deep in designer clothing. A Dior Homme suit lies crumpled by the door; there's a pile of shoes topped like a sundae by a pair of Marc Jacobs trainers; and anyone wishing to enter the shoebox room the band use as an office must negotiate a mountain of discarded jeans. Many items are identifiable as coming from the wardrobe of Hot Fuss, The Killers' hugely successful 2004 debut album - triple platinum in the UK with two weeks at Number One and five million sold worldwide. Look! There are the shirts, ties and suit jackets they wore when they thrilled Glastonbury 2005 with indie rock anthems Mr Brightside and Somebody Told Me. That was the crowning moment of a two-and-a-half year tour that finally concluded in October of last year. It seems that after playing that final date in Miami, they returned to Vegas and shrugged off their image onto the floor of this bland white box.
Now a fine layer of dust covers the dead clothes. The Killers have no further use for white tuxedos on their second album, Sam's Town. Today, Brandon wears a black polo shirt, black pin-stripe waistcoat, black jeans and black boots. Where there used to be a layer of foundation, there is now a beard - an untrimmed beard at that. Dave Keuning (30, guitar), Mark Stoermer (29, bass) and Ronnie Vannucci (29, drums) all echo Brandon's black ensemble. Ronnie has added Aviator shades and a handlebar moustache for a dash of motorcycle cop, Dave's frizzy bubble of hair gives him a Marc Bolan-ish air, and there's something very teenage about Mark's scuffed Vans.
Short of walking around wearing sandwich boards saying, "Our new record is a bit heavier than the last one," The Killers couldn't hope to communicate that message more effectively. And they have gained some musical girth on Sam's Town. The pop hooks that made Hot Fuss so irresistible survive intact - see the ringing guitar riffs on first single When You Were Young - but there's a newfound punchiness, coupled with an epic sweep. The minor-to-major uplifts on Bones are fabulously dramatic, the coda to Why Do I Keep Counting? thrillingly intense. Comparisons to Bruce Springsteen have been made. If they overstate the case a little, they are at leaset qualitatively accurate. The Killers are back and this time it's serious - they've got the bootlace ties to prove it.
"Hey, it says here that Springsteen's headlining Glastonbury next year," shouts Ronnie, who's flicking through the NME. He nods sagely at the page without looking up.
"Really?" asks Dave, nicknamed Crazy Dave on account of his alledgedly volatile nature.
"The Boss is headlining one night, we're playing second on the bill the next night and Kylie's headlining the Sunday," says Brandon, charging like a bull through Michael Eavis' as-yet-unannounced line-up with what subsequently proves to be a characteristic gaucheness.
But that lighter is proving elusive. This being America, none of the people hurrying to-and-fro prepping the world for the release of Sam's Town smokes. Manager Robert Reynolds - Bobby Rey to the band - barks into his mobile, booking his band onto eye-wateringly demanding tours. "We're going to make a lot of money," he cackles to himself before switching calls to make a series of stern pronouncements on legal matters. Dave, Mark and Ronnie disappear for a jam session. Artwork is approved, B-sides are decided on and schedules are hammered out.
"I can't find it," Brandon says, finally. But he's not going to be denied the opportunity to underline The Killers reinvention with a puff of smoke. "Let's go to the gas station. I'll have to buy one. It's too busy to talk here anyway."
+
Brandon's black (of course) Volkswagen Touraeg four-wheel drive is barrelling down West Flamingo Road into town. "I was a bell boy there," he says, pointing out of the driver's window at the stucco facade of the Gold Coast casino. "I was working there when we were signed."
Coming from Las Vegas, it is perhaps inevitable that casinos play a big part in The Killers' story; not only is Sam's Town named after one, it was recorded in one, too.
The band began writing songs while on the road with Hot Fuss, turning up early for soundchecks to run through new ideas. On a trip home to Vegas, George Maloof, a hotelier known for cultivating famous friends, invited them to record the album in the new studio he'd built at The Palms, his flagship hotel-cum-gambling den. When the tour finished in October 2005, they returned to Vegas and spent five month finessing the songs they'd sketched out on the road. Then, in February, they decampled to the third floor studio at The Palms and recorded Sam's Town over 11 weeks.
Producer Flood (U2, Depeche Mode) encouraged them to experiment. They overdubbed, fiddled with synthesizers and played with new equipment. It took them five weeks to get the backing vocals right. The band sang the harmonies, then double-tracked them four times. The end result recalls Queen wondering, "Is this is the real life? Is this just fantasy?" When Ronnie, a trained classical percussionist, brought some kettledrums down, eyebrows were raised; but the fabulously bombastic coda on Why Do I Keep Counting? vindicates his indulgence.
"That's kind of the Ben Hur of the album," he says. He's not wrong. Sam's Town is a record on an epic scale. "Yeah, it has drama," he continues. "But, at the same time, I think it's a little more exposed than Hot Fuss. It's a little more naked. Last time it was about a lot of fictional things." By "fictional", Ronnie means that Hot Fuss wore its predominantly British influences for all to see. Brandon's taste in music is rabidly Anglophile - he constantly references The Smiths, The Cure and Joy Division - and it showed. By contrast, Sam's Town is an unequivocally American record. The lyrical imagery is pure American dream - cars, girls, wide-open spaces and escaping to a better life. "We're burning down the highway skyline/On the back of a hurricane that started turning/When you were young," sings Brandon on When You Were Young. That's the basis of the Springsteen comparisons then, though the lack of pathos more closely recalls another blue-collar rocker from New Jersey - Jon Bon Jovi.
The phrase "this town" recurs throughout the album, and it's always receding into the distance as The Killers escape to a new life. "This town was made for passing through/I never did get along with everybody else," sings Brandon on This River Is Wild. On Read My Mind he "never really gave up on breaking out of this two-star town", while on the title track he offers something of an explanation: "Nobody ever had a dream round here."
"With the first record, there was this feeling that there was this world out there that we didn't know," says Mark later in the day. Before The Killers, he studied philosophy: now he's their quiet one. "We wanted to get out and away from this and be somewhere else. We hadn't had a lot of experience - hadn't travelled much - then we were gone for three years. We didn't sit down and say that we wanted to make a record about how we're glad to be home, but that's what happened naturally."
It's not an angsty record. The Killers have already escaped with Hot Fuss, and, having done so, they view the experience fondly now they're back. There's a mistiness to Brandon's eyes as he explains how the album got it's name.
"Sam's Town is a casino on the edge of Vegas," he says. "I grew up in Henderson, which is out on the way to the Hoover Dam. My mom and dad lived in a trailer park, and my dad used to hitchhike up and down Boulder Highway, which is the only way you could get to Vegas. Sam's Town was the first thing you saw on your way in to town. So, when you're driving down Boulder Highway from Henderson, I always thought you finally knew you were getting somewhere when you saw Sam's Town. It was kind of like a beacon."
"It's not a completely American album," contines Brandon. "We still have our English influence, but we're also from the Wild West. Somehow we've managed to unify all that on this album. it's just such a perfect resemblence of what we are."
At the petrol station, Brandon rummages through the glove box looking for change to buy a lighter. "This is a great album," he says, pointing at Highway Companion, the latest from iconic American rocker Tom Petty. "I've always been a big fan of his. He's such a great American artist."
Yes, Brandon: we get the point.
+
When Brandon finally lights his cigarette, he smokes it awkwardly, like a child mimicking something he's seen the grown-ups doing. However, when he cheerfully admits that, "I feel the same mentally as I did when I was 12," it's not a knowing nod to the fact that he sometimes behaves like a loveably precocious child, but a reference to an unusually comprehensive grounding in pop music at an early age.
When Brandon sings about "this town", he doesn't mean Las Vegas. He means Nephi, Utah or Henderson, Nevada, where he spent his childhood. His parents are Mormon and he is the youngest of six children. "I was a surprise," he says. "I've got a 42-year-old sister." If he was issues about his "surprise" status, he chooses to gloss over them. "It turned out perfect because my brother was a teenager when I was a kid," he says. "He would bring home things like Rattle And Hum by U2 and I would watch it. I remember he bought Live In Dallas by Morrissey. It was always him watching these things, or his door was shut and you'd hear The Head On The Door by The Cure blasting through the house and rattling the walls."
The Killers were formed when Brandon answered an advert Dave had placed in a local paper in late 2002. Dave cited Oasis as a big influence; Brandon had seen them play recently and responded; and, as Dave has said in previous interviews: "He was the only person to reply to my ad who wasn't a complete freak." However, the band was born in Brandon's brothers bedroom.
"His room was like a shrine," enthuses Brandon. "It was a holy place. I wish I could show you a picture of it. It was covered in posters. There'd be a big picture of Elvis wearing a bow tie that just said 'The Smiths' [the artwork for The Smiths 1987 single Shoplifters Of The World Unite]. You had The Cure wearing face paint [the artwork to The Cure's 1985 single In Between Days] - all that kind of stuff. I remember Morrissey being on the cover of the NME, with the halo [from 1985] - stuff like that. You just wanted to know about these people 'cause they were so cool. My brother seemed like such a cool person. But he was a teenager, so he wasn't going to be that nice to me, a kid."
Brandon was fascinated by his brother's collection of music, magazines and posters, but he was denied access to them - officially, at least. "I would sneak in," he says. "I knew he'd be angry if he found out, but I would go in as soon as he left the house." For a long time Brandon was too scared to actually play anything. "That didn't come 'til later. I just used to go in there because I liked it. Then I got to the point where I'd actually take a tape out and put it in. It took more guts to do that."
It was a life-changing moment. "I was ten and the first song I played was Sing Your Life by Morrissey. I remember dancing about to it."
The lyrics to Sing Your Life include the lines, "Sing your life/Just walk right up to the microphone/And name all the things that you love/All the things that you loathe." It's intriguing to wonder what Morrissey makes of the neophyte he inspired with these lines.
Eventually, Brandon inherited his brother's tape collection. "It was around the same time CDs started coming out in a big way. He started buying CDs and gave me his tapes. And that was it: it took off from there. I got a hundred of the best albums - all the New Order, all the Morrissey, all The Smiths, The Beatles. I started buying posters. I went to see The Cure in concert. It was just kind of a continuation of my brother. And it was nice because, though my parents were strict, they were already used to it from him. There was no, 'My dad doesn't understand me,' or any of that kind of stuff. My mum likes The Smiths."
Brandon was 13 and his favourite band was late-'70s/early-'80s American new wavers The Cars, and particularly their jaw-droppingly catchy 1979 single Just What I Needed.
"I wouldn't exist without that song," he says. "That was the one. I remember driving around with my mum when I was 13, and we're living in Nephi - a really small town - and I felt so cool when I put that song on. Like: 'I have something that none of these kids I'm going to middle school with tomorrow have.' That excitement is what music's about, isn't it? That's why I understand the mentality of people that don't like us because we've sold so many records. I used to like it when no one else knew about a band. So I get that - I do."
+
Brandon's first band was called Blush Response. It was never going to work out. Not because he refused to move to Los Angeles with them, but because he is utterly - comically - shameless. He's given to making outrageously boastful statements like: "It's not like the '60s, '70s and '80s now. There are only a few bands around that are really good, that just do it. I mean, there's what, five or six of us?"
For the record, in Brandon's estimation, those bands are Franz Ferdinand, Razorlight, The Strokes, The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and, of course, The Killers.
"I don't want people to think I'm lumping myself with other people just to make us sound cool," he says. Really? It sort of sounds like you are. But he just steamrolls through it. "Yeah, but you know what I mean," he says, grinning at his own cheekiness. He's so disgracefully forward you can't help but laugh along with him - Oh you are awful, Brandon! But joking aside, The Killers are the most commercially successful of all the bands he mentions.
Later, back at the rehearsal space, the band run through Sam's Town at deafening volume in preparation for the forthcoming tour - first the US, then the world. The infectious, almost contagious, chorus of When You Were Young sounds fabulous, as do the U2-like guitars and Twin Peaks synths of Read My Mind. Meanwhile, Smile Like You Mean It and Somebody Told Me benefit from the newfound harder edge.
They somewhat heavy-handedly underline the new direction by playing Paranoid by Black Sabbath and Get It On by T Rex. That's the thing: The Killers are not a subtle band. Their songs are like a wet kiss from a girl who's a bit too drunk. They are big and brash, and not everyone loves them for it. Mr Brightside and Somebody Told Me might go down as well at hip nightclubs as they do on the festival circuit, but the DJs play them with the same guilty look they wear when playing a pop record.
"I hate that," says Brandon. "Like writing a song you can hum somehow cheapens it? It makes me think of this quote by Morrissey. Everybody knows how he read Oscar Wilde, Keats and Yates when he was growing up and that he wanted to be a writer. He was talking to this journalist who asked why he hadn't become a writer, and Morrissey said: 'What I do is more powerful than what you do because I can write down these words and you get it to a melody. How can you beat that?' I'm of the same opinion. I don't understand why a good melody that's memorable is a bad thing."
Being dismissed as pop particular aggrieves Ronnie. "When we first came out we got compared to Duran Duran all the time. Jesus Christ! We got a keyboard player now all of a sudden he's Nick Rhodes! Come on!"
"The people who criticise us for being too poppy don't get it," agrees Mark. "I think that's the problem with a lot of rock music. People are afraid to write a song any more. Either that or they can't. And that attitude hurts music in general. The best bands ever have all written great songs. You can still do it and do it intelligently and it can be original. This isn't a studio creation with a producer writing these songs for us. We're not Avril Lavigne, or something like that. We're a real band writing real songs, just like a punk band would do, except that we write pop songs."
You get the impression that The Killers knack for showboating pop hooks that border on vulgar is inextricably tied up with the brazen side of Brandon's personality. But while his ebullient charisma, not to mention the songs themselves, mitigates his outrageousness, there is a less attractive side to his ego. He has a combative streak. He can't resist taking pot shots at emo bands, notably Fall Out Boy, whith whom The Killers share an A&R man.
Has he heard how many emo kids it takes to change a light bulb? "No." None. They just sit in the dark and cry. It's a full 30 seconds before he stops laughing. When he does he admits: "Yeah, we've had problems with other bands. You know, when you walk in the room it's like..." He whistles the theme to The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. "We're like gangs."
And while the other members of the band are diplomatic on the subject of Brandon, you don't have to read too deeply between the lines to conclude that there have been internal issues, too.
"Some people will think Brandon's the big genius," says Dave, visibly bridling. "There are songs, such as Why Do I Keep Counting?, where he's written every note. But there are others, like When You Were Young, that were more of a collaboration - like Mr Brightside, where I had some of the music and Brandon came up with the lyrics. We always have arguments about who wrote what. The truth is that we all help in that process."
When asked how success affected them, Ronnie says: "There were certain things that needed adjusting. When you're on tour for two years, people can get a little needy. It doesn't help that you're surrounded by yes men and everybody's working for you. At times we've had to say, 'Who do you think you are?' to people. No one wears the trousers, but some people would like to. I think if it wasn't for the people in the band kicking each other in the ass... Let's just say there was some ass-kickin'."
It doesn't take a genius to work out whose ass needed kicking most often.

It's the following day and The Killers are back at their rehearsal space. The topic of discussion is what to wear in the video for Bones, the second single. It's a big deal: the director is Tim Burton. "I feel like Frank Sinatra when I sing it," announces Brandon. "With maybe a little bit of Morrissey and a little bit of Elvis, too."
Of course he does. But if securing the services of Tim Burton tells you one thing, it's that The Killers are about to get even bigger, perhaps even make the leap to the same level as Coldplay et al. Already stars, they are about to become superstars. Brandon can hardly wait.
"Do you know that Rolling Stone didn't want to put us on the cover last time," he says indignantly. "They didn't think we were stars. We sold five million albums! What more do they want from a band?"
Whatever was required, Brandon would be happy to do most things. "I'll do stuff that some people don't want to do, 'cause I want people to hear the music," he says. However, even he has limits. "The Rolling Stone thing made the record label think: 'What can we do to make them stars?' If I go on vacation with my wife, do they have to send somebody to be there to take pictures of me? Is that how you become a star? I don't want that. I walked down the red carpet one time and I realised I don't like it. But you don't have to walk down the red carpet for people to hear your music. We do still have some of that indie blood running through our veins."
He heads off at a tangent: "When you walk around Liverpool, you think of The Beatles, or you go to Manchester and you think of The Smiths or Oasis. I want you to come to Las Vegas and think of Sam's Town. And I think we've started to capture that, which is a truer version of The Killers, 'cause that's where we're from."
He pauses.
"I used to live across the street from Sam's Town. Maybe it'll be like our Abbey Road where people go to take pictures."
Is that what he'd like?
"I wouldn't mind it," he says, desperately hoping it will come true.
He puts a cigarette between his lips, looks down at his trouser pockets and pats them in search of the lighter he bought yesterday.
"Hey, I don't suppose you've got one?"
