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.

    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.

    Im conflicted. I want to watch the usual suspects again for the first time but with Kevin Spacey being too much of that movie I dont know if i would even if i could. And that makes me sad because it had one of the best moments in cinema…and that has been completely tainted by a shit person

      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

    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: 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 what the book was about, I just knew I liked his previous work and picked it up and stayed all night reading the book, amazing.
    • 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.

    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.

      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.

    I’d love to experience the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time again. Especially since I started with 3 so I already knew the ending when I went back to the other games.
