My picks are:
- Game: Portal 2.

- Movie: The Shawshank Redemption.
- Game: The Outer Wilds and DLC
- Book: Goosebumps - Night in Terror Tower
- TV Show: Battlestar Galactica (2003)
- Movie: Requiem for a Dream
Game, Outer Wilds
Movie, Everything Everywhere All At Once
Outer Wilds and Piranesi.
We got a winner here
I Saw the TV Glow, I was just talking about not liking that I’ve been desensitized to it a bit.
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.
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 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
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!
- Star Trek
- Ultima Underworld
- Myst
- Fallout
- Jurassic Park (book)
Oh man, Ultima Underworld was mind-blowing in its time.
The sequel was pretty good too. They’re both on GOG, btw, And have aged pretty well. The graphics aren’t so good, but the story and gameplay are still pretty great. I still replay them (and the Myst games) from time to time.
Oh, I played them both. I didn’t really care for II’s splitting the game into 8 “worlds”, I preferred the original’s single huge dungeon, but I did enjoy it.
It did get annoying having to run back and forth through all of the worlds, but some were very cool, like the one with the fighting arenas. And the tomb with all the levels. And the story was awesome.
- Game: Return of the Obra Dinn
- Book: House of Leaves
- TV: Twin Peaks
- Movie: The Matrix
Oooo Obra Dinn is a good answer
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: Bloodborne
Book: Green Eggs and Ham
TV Show: Lost
Movie: Morbius
Game: Noita
Book: The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks (RIP, you deserved more time)
TV show: Cowboy Bebop, I think
Movie: Honestly, I can’t think of one.In order of priority, I’d put The Player of Games at the top by a wide margin (seriously, it’s an amazing book by a brilliant author), followed by Noita, with Cowboy Bebop at the end.
Game: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Book: Ender’s Game TV Show: Tom Baker Doctor Who Movie: The Sixth Sense
Black & White 2
Tarzan of the Apes
Cowboy Bebop/Trigun
The Avatar
The Avatar
What on earth is that?
Game: Gunship 2000
Book: the Murderbot Diaries
TV: Firefly
Movie:
Casablancano! Little Shop of Horrors!I watched serenity before i watched firefly. Wish i could watch both again in the other order.
BUT i think i had an interesting relationship with the river character that many other fans dont have because i got to view every river moment knowing where her story ends up.
On a different tangent, i wish we could get a Book of Booke or The Good Booke show/novel/film
