Star Trek DS9. So much good character development, plus all sorts of twists and turns
I don’t know, I’d be worried if I did that then it wouldn’t hit the same for me the second time around. Who am I now compared to then? What state of mind am I in? I mean who knows how much a song or a a movie resonates with you has to do with where you are at that time?
Yeah I was thinking something similar. The first Game that came into my head was “Gothic” which I have played since forever (since ive been a little kid) and took me forever to beat for the first time. I don’t know if I would even start playing it today if I didn’t know and love it already. From my perspective today the graphics are outdated and the controls are clunky but it has such a unique heart.
Fucking hell I wasn’t prepared for the existential questions when I entered this thread.
Rage Against The Machine self-titled 1992 album
Paprika. To see the parade for the first time again… Wow.
Aliens (1986)
Full Metal Alchemist. All the twists, heartbreak, even the victories against an unimaginably powerful foe, but most of all, the many, many humane moments that makes it one of the greatest stories I ever read. I really want to experience it for the first time again.
Games: Nier Automata, Portal, and Ghost of Tsushima
Movies: Prince of Egypt, Confessions and The Prestige
Music: “Speak for Yourself” album, “Talent for Love” (Guilty pleasure), and, most musicals that I like (I love stumbling upon one I enjoy).
There are a bunch of games that you can only play once cause the puzzles are based on finding information. So these are my picks: Tunic , Outer Wilds, Return of the Obra Dinn.
Oh man, Obra Dinn for sure. Nothing quite replicates that moment when all the pieces start to fit together. The game took me about 6 hours, I believe. Four hours were spent furiously trying to solve the puzzles, but the last two hours were a wonderful cascade of clues falling into place until I had a complete record of the ship’s crew and passengers. Masterpiece.
Would love to experience Hollow Knight again
Eternal Sunshine would be on my list for sure, hahah. Such an amazing film. It would also be incredible to listen to Scenes from a Memory or Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence again (two of Dream Theater’s best albums). Hard agree with the other person who mentioned Fullmetal Alchemist, too. Good question, OP!
The Star Wars Franchise. I love A New Hope, but it would be ridiculous to Eternal Sunshine just that movie. Other standalone movies would be Oldboy, Martyrs and The Godfather. I’d love to revisit Nirvana’s Nevermind, Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy and MF Doom’s Mmmm Food with a new generation. Imagine experiencing Joe Sacco’s Palestine, Proust’s Swann’s Way, Harvey Pekar’s American Splendor and Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot for the first time (again). I genuinely love this thought experiment…
In which order would you want to watch the saga?
Same order as their release tbh. I personally prefer the ‘big reveal’ in Episode V compared to Episode III.
Fallout: New Vegas. I still find new stuff in it to this day, don’t get me wrong. But to be able to get lost in the Mojave with no idea of the stakes at play all over again would be an absolute delight.
For music, Facelift by Alice in Chains is one of the most underrated albums of all time. If I could go back to popping that CD in the stereo, not knowing what I’m in for and realizing that I’m listening to an Appetite for Destruction-level album. I wore that original CD out. :)
For a video game, either Disco Elysium or Return of the Obra Dinn. Unforgettable first experiences that redefined what games are capable of in my mind.
Fantastic choices. Outer Wilds for me.
Mass Effect!
Babylon 5
