jactance-de-boufbowl:
To keep you guys on top of what time I’ll be doing my Journey runs, I’d like to give you a little rundown of what’ll be going on!
My first Journey will be embarked upon at 12 NOON EST, and I will continue to travel until 12 MIDNIGHT EST.
That’s 12 hours of Journey!
After that, I may or may not do an art stream in celebration of a successful grand-reopening depending if...
i just beat flower
titatitanium:
I had very recently tried the demo version for thatgamecompany’s Flower. It entailed the very first level. I was, simply put, enchanted. It made me feel like a child.
I had to buy the new Journey Collector’s Edition. I’ve known thatgamecompany for a while, but, strangely, I’ve never bought a single one of their games.
After flOw, I started Flower.
Playing through the first...

I wanna listen to the Journey soundtrack so badly
dappertomcat:
but everytime a song comes up on shuffle, or I see it in the list…I just get really nervous. Kinda scared.
I am a bit afraid of the surge of emotions, thinking about my g-ma. They can be very painful.
It’s such beautiful music, too…and I can never disconnect her with this game and the music now.
I’m trying to turn the negative vibes into good ones, good memories. But it hurts so...

A thank you note
I had my best journey yet last night.
I discovered journeystories months ago, and have read many submissions about wise, benevolent white cloaks teaching inexperienced players how to access glitch areas, showing them how to to faceplant, helping them gain trophies, etc. Even though I have gathered all the symbols, and therefore am able to wear the white cloak, I don’t know all of...

The Ascent (a Journey story)
I’ve been playing Journey for a little while now, and it was on my third journey that I met two fellow wayfarers, since I had finally gotten my connection to work.
I began my journey from the very beginning, not from the hub. I did not have my white cloak, but I was too lazy to go back and put it on. In the level with all the pillars and bridges, I met a fellow journeyer. They ran around...

So, we’re excited to let everyone know that we will be presenting you with a wonderful first-time look at the extensive artwork that went into bringing Journey to life. It’s the first book...

I had been following this game from it’s announcement to it’s release. From the first trailer I knew that it was going to be special and that it would change the way we view video games. I was at the end of my junior year, but as I had transferred it was my first time away from home. My suite mates thought I was crazy when I turned off the lights and played Journey for the first...

yonokom asked: While playing today it struck me that it's been several months since Journey was released, and there are still enough people that play, to meet someone on every level, at just about any time of the day. The game is so short, and some who are playing have probably played a million times already and could have tired of it by now since it never changes. So I was happy that my companion was there...

For those who might be interested, this site has an explanation for and several different translations of that lovely Bashō haiku.

So my friend is over playing Journey and she’s had a white-robed fellow traveler the whole time who’s been helping and at the end he drew a heart in the sand.
I’M DYING.
I was already like halfway crying because of how awesome it is and then that… awww, man.
riddleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer:
so i saw this comment on a song from the game Journey and i-
“End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path. One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass. Then you see it… White shores… and beyond. A far green country, under a swift sunrise.”
Guys
can we all just agree even though the...

vatubarok asked: Finally some lyrics to I Was Born For This! Thank you. <3 I translated a couple of lines I recognized. I think all the lines are from different poems or sayings. "Mael (mæl) is me to feran" = "(It) is time (for) me to go." "Kono michi ya yuku hito nashi ni aki no kure" = "No one walks along this path this autumn evening". I`ll get back to you with a...

Journey is such an amazing game, no doubt of that. But it truly depends upon who I get matched up with. After playing Journey so many times, I know where I can find everything except for the glitches, since I’ve yet to meet someone to show me. So naturally, it gets… not exactly boring, but I found myself wishing I could just forget everything about this game so I could...

Journey coat colours
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAkfKb1U8_w&feature=youtu.be
only in the glitches!!
five-5-sixers asked: Wow I'm really excited that picture made people curious. I was the one playing and I just dfkjdk the snow. A little background, the person had been playing with me for almost the entire game and they'd had to pause for a long period of time before. I decided to wait for them as I did previously, and sat beside them. The snow decided to glitch and slowly rose into the spiky fort shape,...
neon-mace asked: The 'snow fort' picture was actually taken by me while my friend was playing. The cloak looks black because the poor Journeyer was frozen from walking away from the game and that I took a picture with my phone (which phone + TV = awkward colors). Hope that clears everything up!
jittermoose asked: About the "black cloak" from the snow fort post (one of my fave journey pics of all time btw) - it was a Red Cloak. Due to the dim, blue-ish lighting in the snow level and the contrast between the deep red cloak and the snow, I've noticed that Red Cloaks often look as though they aren't wearing red in that level. As our lovely host said, our eyes are having a trick played on...

To all the people wondering about the rumor of black cloaks: It’s almost real. The official cloak colors are red and white. That being said, lighting glitches can turn your cloak many different colors. There are several places in the game that turn you a gold color. Out of bounds, there are areas where you will fall under the ground and your cloak color will change to something similar to...

Lost in Apotheosis
The fact I like about Journey is how sometimes someone very experienced teaches you things, but in fact that person is too your student and may learn too. Master-student and master-student is very interesting…
Since today I always played like a follower mostly, to learn, because I was so “newbie”. But this day I found some different players at the Broken Bridge, none of them...

olerex asked: Hi, in the snow fort post (30100057660), there was a black cloak. I've heard this mentioned before, but I've never seen it. How does one obtain this black cloak?

A thanks for my buddy (whoever they were)
I don’t know who you were, but I think you’re the reason I’ve enjoyed the game this much. Thanks for always being willing to play ‘flute sonar’ with me so I could keep track of you if I got distracted and wandered off. Thanks for waiting up for me, too, when you got to the end of a room or level. And thanks for helping me through the level with the mecha-dragon things...
