My picks are:

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Twin Peaks

      Is Twin Peaks suppose to be a slow burn? I have tried it few months ago, the pacing is very slow and eerie. Didn’t really catch my attention.

    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.

    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
