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.

    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

    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.

      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

          My favorite single moment so far was the conclusion of the battle between Luffy and Boa Sandersonia.

          It really highlights that Luffy is not willing to act against his principles, even if it would further his goals.

          Best arc though is a tossup between Arlong Park or Impel Down. Arlong Park has had the best character writing in the series so far, and Impel Down has the highest stakes.

    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.

    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.
