This thread has convinced me to play Outer Wilds.
My picks are:
- Game: Portal 2.
- Book: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
- TV show: Bojack Horseman.
- Movie: The Shawshank Redemption.
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

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.
The culture novels, such a good pick!

- Game: The Witcher 3 (especially Hearts of Stone DLC)
- Book: The Hobbit
- TV show: The Dekalog
- Movie: Mulholland Drive
Game: The Outer Wilds and its DLC. Also Undertale as close second Movie: Summer Wars. Redline close second. Tv Show: Frieren - After journeys end
Undertale made me ugly cry, thanks Toby.

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!

Subnautica, without question.
Bioshock.
I don’t think there will every be a more satisfying twist for me. The twist was about me, the human playing the game, and only works because of the nature of the format.
It was perfection.
Game: Tie between Dragon Age: Origins and the original Bioshock.
Movie: Nightmare on Elm Street
TV Show: Stranger Things
Book: Man, too many to mention, but maybe The Lesser Dead by Christopher Buehlman.
Game: Halo 3 Book: The Kingkiller Chronicles Movie: Harry Potter series (yes, I hate Rowling, but I can’t move on yet) Show: Doctor Who. Been rewatching nuwho with my wife and it’s like I’ve become insatiable for more. Been reading the books, comics, and audio plays. Gonna try Torchwood after
The first BioShock game. I don’t know how I managed to go so long without it being spoiled for me, but man, I’m glad it wasn’t.
At this point, there are definitely plenty, but I’d personally say my top picks are definitely (in no particular order):
• Brok the Investigator
• Franklin (yes I’m a child at heart sometimes)
• New Vegas and the DLCs
• Borderlands (on xbox360 w/ all 4 DLCs, have been playing on and off for over a decade and still have way too much stuff left)
• An American Tail (definitely in my top 3, if not my absolute favorite 3D animated film ever)
