Matilda was pretty good! Although some kid who sat near me had never read the book and I cried a single tear.

Excitement is a great thing. Being able to be excited for things is awesome. I'm sure we all remember a time, maybe recently, maybe as children, where things were just so amazing and wondrous. A time when life's mysteries were not something to be afraid of or suspicious of, but instead something to look forward to. A time of endless possibilities. You know that feeling, maybe it's a party, seeing friends after being apart for a while, a new crush, your wedding, etc. The one where you get giddy and can't stop smiling. The anticipation, the excitement. The world just seems brighter somehow.

Sadly, it seems a lot of us become jaded as we grow up. We learn that sometimes surprises are a kick in the face, maybe literally, and that there are dark and scary things around every corner. A bigger bill than we had planned for, a car breaking down, a loved one passing. Surprises are no longer something we always look forward to. We like routine and stability. We like knowing what will happen so we can plan for it, so we can keep control. And sometimes in the process we lose that wonder and that excitement.

These nominees have recaptured that sense of excitement. Instead of worrying about the "what if it sucks and there goes some of my paycheck", they instead get excited about the prospect of a new game, a new virtual world to explore, a new story to be told, new characters to love. For the sake of each, I sincerely hope that FFXV pays off. But if it doesn't...

Well you can't put a price on excitement. Enjoy all of the good feelings that come with it, and congrats to all of the nominees!
