It makes me happy to see Rama mentioned here! I read the first book in the series when I was 8 or 9, and it's what really hooked me on science fiction. Like, I had to read it with a dictionary open because some of the language was way too technical for me, but I was absolutely enthralled.

Other people who’ve read it and who I’ve talked with seem to be split over whether the first book is better than the sequels, or the other way around. I prefer the sequels, my wife prefers the original. Do you have a preference?

Badabinski ,

As a child, I greatly preferred the original. A lot of the emotional subtext from the sequels went over my head (since I was raised in a very emotionally repressed environment), but I could totally grok the cold, somewhat impersonal nature of the first book. It was easier to imagine myself in this huge alien structure when I could understand the characters. Nowadays I think I'd probably prefer the sequels since I derive a lot of enjoyment from interpersonal drama and conflict. I'll admit that it's been ages since I've read them, so I can't say for sure.

Satisfactory.

The good news is that everyone is going to be experiencing that for the first time again in about a week’s time!

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.

Game: Gunship 2000

Book: the Murderbot Diaries

TV: Firefly

Movie: Casablanca no! Little Shop of Horrors!

Badabinski ,

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.

Book: 1984 Movie: Sinister Game: Borderlands 2 Tv show: (Is an animated serie ok?) Gravity falls

Hell yeah animation is ok, and Gavity Falls is a solid 10/10 choice.

Between my brother, a mutual friend, and myself, we have over 1,800 collective hours in Borderlands 2. That was probably my favorite game for about 5 years. It’s fun enough on your own, but the game gets a million times between with co-op.

I thought the Pre-Sequel was pretty good. The low grav mechanic was a fun addition, and the moon being populated by Aussies was a nice touch. Borderlands 3 was kinda meh. We all had high hopes for it. It’s a pretty good game, but its greatest weakness is that Borderlands 2 exists.
