Let's Play A Game. Trying Something Different

Here's something a little different.  I'm gong to post a Let's Play of these games, and you guys can post your self obs after finishing them.  I apologize that they're a little long, but I do guarantee you will be crying rivers by the end.  I'm doing this because the stories are beautiful and I think everyone should experience it.

And yes, you DO need to watch them in order if you want to understand what's happening ;)  I put the length next to each video link so you guys can make the time.  I also put my own obs after each video.

To the Moon:  ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUf7hTVLumwhe (Length: 3 hours, 47 Minutes, 6 Seconds)
Without spoiling anything (you'll know when you get there) I cried at the montage song.  I had covered my mouth to hide my sobbing from my mom in the living room, and had to take off my glasses several times because I couldn't really hold back the tears as the song went on.  

Minisodes:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i-jywjV6b0 (Length: 1 hour, 22 minutes, 50 seconds)
These aren't sad, but if you want the full story, you need to watch these too.  No tears though

A Bird Story:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV74WLOvkQg (Length: 1 hour, 8 minutes, 35 seconds)
I personally didn't cry in this, but others have.  Let me know.

Finding Paradise:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGB9PALbqEo  (Length: 4 hours, 44 minutes, 57 seconds)
I think because I related to this one more, I cried more than in To the Moon.  That whole last scene on the hilltop and then after the montage really got me.  My face felt hot from the tears and this time mom wasn't home so i could sob openly.  I blew my nose several times over the course of the scene.
This game STILL gets me, to be honest.  I was a mess at the end of this video.  My nose was stuffed, I couldn't see very well due to the tears in my eyes.

I haven’t had the time to watch the videos, I am glad you finally allowed yourself to cry, and seems you did cry hard, like you mentioned sobbing alone, seems you now allow yourself to cry, even if only in private.

Guess you’ll eventually trust someone special to cry in front of, maybe with time.

If it's a good enough story, it can affect me.  Aside from these games, there's the Ano Hana anime, Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark", and the movie "Hook" that can get me all emotional.  Pixar got me with Toy Story 3, and Disney's getting better with the feels trips, too.
