My picks are:
- Game: Portal 2.

- Movie: The Shawshank Redemption.
Game, Outer Wilds
Movie, Everything Everywhere All At Once

Oooo Obra Dinn is a good answer
Outer Wilds and Piranesi.
We got a winner here
Game: Day of the Tentacle
Book: Cryptonomicon
TV: BoJack horseman
Movie: The Matrix or The PrestigeHonorable mention: Dr. Horrible’s Sing along Blog
Game:
GoldenEye 007, but I want it to be in 1997 playing on the 27" CRT TV in the basement with my brother. Technically, it was my N64, so I always got to use the gold controller that it came with. We sat on the carpet within feet of the giant wooden TV cabinet, because the cords weren’t very long. My dad was a carpenter and only recently refinished the basement with tongue and groove cedar. I still remember the smell of the wood and the sound of the furnace clicking on down there. He even cut a crescent moon into the bathroom door as if it were an outhouse.
We liked to play Golden Gun in the temple. We even made up our own games within the game, like hide and seek. Back then he was my best friend. He made some life choices that were different from mine. We were never as close as when we played that game. We’re not in a bad spot or anything, but those days now just memories.
If I were your brother I would love to read this comment
- Star Trek
- Ultima Underworld
- Myst
- Fallout
- Jurassic Park (book)
Oh man, Ultima Underworld was mind-blowing in its time.
Book: 1984 Movie: Sinister Game: Borderlands 2 Tv show: (Is an animated serie ok?) Gravity falls
Hell yeah animation is ok, and Gavity Falls is a solid 10/10 choice.
Between my brother, a mutual friend, and myself, we have over 1,800 collective hours in Borderlands 2. That was probably my favorite game for about 5 years. It’s fun enough on your own, but the game gets a million times between with co-op.
I thought the Pre-Sequel was pretty good. The low grav mechanic was a fun addition, and the moon being populated by Aussies was a nice touch. Borderlands 3 was kinda meh. We all had high hopes for it. It’s a pretty good game, but its greatest weakness is that Borderlands 2 exists.
Game: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Book: Ender’s Game TV Show: Tom Baker Doctor Who Movie: The Sixth Sense
Game: Super Mario Galaxy
Book: The Rama series, Arthur C Clarke
TV: The West Wing
Movie: The 5th ElementOh wow, I actually haven’t read the Rama books (been meaning to!), but I vividly remember the flawed-but-wonderous PC adventure game. Have you played it by chance?
Haha, grokking abstract space-math associations maybe wasn’t my strength when I was like…7 or something (prolly still isn’t LOL). But I sure did enjoy crudely drawing the biots and aliens. :D
The soundtrack is still one of my favorites from any game, ever.
This humorous review is fun to watch, but there’s really good gameplay and stuff without commentary too. :)
I played the game back when it originally came out. Like any media based on a book, it was slightly frustrating for a while that the graphics didn’t match the visuals I had imagined whole reading the book. I still have the discs somewhere, might see if I can get it running somehow. I suspect I’ll find the game mechanics to be clunky but today’s standards.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a movie made yet.
It makes me happy to see Rama mentioned here! I read the first book in the series when I was 8 or 9, and it’s what really hooked me on science fiction. Like, I had to read it with a dictionary open because some of the language was way too technical for me, but I was absolutely enthralled.
Other people who’ve read it and who I’ve talked with seem to be split over whether the first book is better than the sequels, or the other way around. I prefer the sequels, my wife prefers the original. Do you have a preference?
Subnautica, without question.
Wheel of Time book series.
Got way into it when I was younger, got them as soon as new ones came out but after re-reading the first like 10 books multiple times and the repetitive descriptions, the long journey just killed it for me before it got more wrapped up in the later books. Still love it when I go to try and reread it, just get flustered out around book 7. Would love to just be able to do the entire run now with that same enthusiasm I had before, like finding a great show with lots of seasons to binge.
God what I wouldn’t give to play through the ICO series for the first time again. Three of just the best cases for why games are art.
Game: To the moon
Book: The Culture novels by Iain M. Banks
TV: Star Wars Rebels
Movie: Alien
The culture novels, such a good pick!
Alien replays nicely if you haven’t seen it in awhile and really focus on the experience.
Yeah but the anticipation of “when is the alien going to pop out” is only there on the first watch. I’ve watched it a bunch so can never recover that one.
Mass Effect 2
Guild Wars 1 (at the time it was just called Guild Wars)
Edit : both were played on the pc
All 3 Mass Effect games!

With you on this one! The Sonic Adventure games are what come to mind when I think of 3D Sonic. The gameplay of the boost games doesn’t appeal to me nearly as much as the physics based movement of the Adventure games!

Ahhh the Chao! I spent so many hours in the Chao gardens, so relaxing and fun! What types are you gonna make em?
