Counting down to the release of Saints Row IV #9


By Blackwalt - Posted on 11 August 2013

With Saints Row IV releasing on August 20th we decided to commemorate its impending release with a countdown of the Top Ten Herd of Cats's stories covering previous Saints Rows. Join us for the next ten days as we take off our shoes and socks to help us count to ten. ..."now we carry the three"...



Here is our pick for HoC Saints Row story #9. Who knew MoriceRevek's life had a soundtrack:

The Power of Suggestion originally posted by MauriceRevek on February 24, 2009.

Here I am, at work, calmly working on converting some code from an onld application to a more modern version, when I here from cubicle neighbours headphones Europe's The Final Countdown.

I found myself suddenly thinking: Time to switch to my rocket launcher, and blow a few things up. I had to do a double take to remind myself that I was not in the Saints Row 2 world.

It was then that I realized how much we are being conditioned by these games with their subtle but limited choices of songs. After hearing the same tracks from the Classics station over and over (Ah-Ha's Take on Me, Culture Club's Karma Cameleon, Hal and Oats Out of Touch, Pritty in Pink and the aformentioned Final Countdown outside of the context of the game, I find myself now automatically thinking about what I should be destroying when I hear them.

The only exception to this I think would be Gun's And Roses Paradise City, which only triggers a sense of endless waiting and annoyance.
