And you said, it was like fire around the brim
Burning solid, burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were one inch from the edge of this bed
I dragged you back, a sleepyhead...
Let me set the scene...
It is 2010. It is late at night. I am working at a drug and alcohol rehab clinic. I am on LBP central, as per usual... I click a video link, and I see my worst fears realized. Media Molecule has come up with a sequel to little big planet. But as the video plays, and everything is going to the beat, I tear up a bit and get goosebumps, as I see what is to be the greatest game of all time. I watch the video maybe 10 or 11 times, before going home early. It was a very happy day for me. LBP 2 was coming out, and it was perfect. It was backwards compatible, and everything I though it would not be. I was truly happy. Ecstatic. Excited. Smiling from ear to ear.
Now...
It is 2011. We take LBP 2 for granted. We no longer show the same excitement for this wonderful thing. This Jesus Christ of video games that brought tears to the eyes of a grown man. All we do is complain, and moan, and yell "abandonment." Mm gave us something wonderful. I want to feel that same happiness I felt back when the announcement video was shown. They did not default on any of their promises. We are lucky to have something so special and great. Now lets act like it.
Thank you, Mm. Thank you for giving me a level of happiness I have not felt since I was a child.
