My picks are:

  • Game: Portal 2.
  • Book: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
  • TV show: Bojack Horseman.
  • Movie: The Shawshank Redemption.

      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!

        Here are the baby Chaos that I’m raising in Station Square in Adventure mode.

        Still can’t upload them to a VMU though.

    Metal Gear Solid 3.

    I played it overnight, I was alone, and it thunderstormed that night around the time I reached The Sorrow. I couldnt stop. It was so good and I was into it. Nothing else has been more memorable.

    Game is such an unbelievable slam dunk for me. Outer Wilds.

    But if I could forget two, it’d be Outer Wilds twice because it’s an incredible story

    The whole experience of starting up my new (used) N64 for the first time on my blurry old CRT TV and see that huge 3D Mario face pop up that I could squeeze and pull. This was a truly magical console for me.

    • Game: Zelda Ocarina of Time. My first true game that I had and enjoyed as a child, I didnt even know the language and I vividly remember using a dictionary and translating the game while playing.
    • Book: One Piece Manga, yes its not a book, but reading everything from zero to current would be an amazing journey, one that I enjoy watching book-tubers discover One Piece and devour it is great. If I had to reread a book perhaps Project Hail Mary, I didnt know anything about the book, I just liked the authors previous work and picked this one up and stayed all night reading the book, it was one of those amazing moments when reading.
    • TV show: Futurama, incredibly funny and imagining discovering it new again would feel awesome. -Movie: I dont really have *A favorite movie, more of the experience and feeling I had while watching a movie. But perhaps the Batman trilogy

      I’m currently going through the One Piece manga for the first time and I’m having a blast.

      I’m in the middle of Punk Hazard right now and it’s starting to drag on, but I’m told that everything gets way better afterwards.

        Thats awsome! yes, the story structure changes alot after the war, the conflics grow larger and take longer. Oda also changed a the characters personalities a lot, in some he dialed them alot. But it does get better, mostly because Cesar and Jody, where not the best. But still it does get alot better later on! What was one of your fav moments? me from back then was water seven, it felt that the stakes really ramped up

    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)

    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.
