TODO – There are other media related to this universe, and I’m not sure what order to watch them in.

A secret organization scavenges alien technology.

Like Doctor Who, this series is pretty light. It seems good so far.

The last of a powerful race tours time and space, regularly ending up in trouble.

Playful fun. Occasionally attempts to glide past some significant issues with time travel but is generally bubblegum. Doesn’t take itself too seriously. Recommended until it goes woke.

A buddy cop series, but with aliens, with overtones of very difficult social topics.

This is surprisingly good, either in addition to, or separate from, the movie. While I didn’t particularly like the movie, this series is recommended. Anyone who liked the original movie should definitely continue the franchise with this series.

  • This continues from Alien Nation – (1988 movie), including a story arc.

    • I don’t know what it is about the series, but it has left a much stronger positive impression than the film.

A MOBA which also has good bots.

Like all the other “safe” games Blizzard has created, Heroes of the Storm is an accessible MOBA (Multiplayer online battle arena) game. It’s pretty, plays well, and os reasonably fun. It has excellent bots to beat up for a chill game. Voice support makes it great.

I play a bunch of it, and like it. I don’t PvP. The versus AI started out being really boring but improved a lot over time.

  • aka HOTS
  • abandoned – It’s officially on life support
  • Full ultrawide support, even in windowed fullscreen. It’s a big difference.

A video hosting website.

It used to be great, but Google took it over, removed video responses, fucked up comments and left the service in shambles.

An action/adventure type game, with an expansive world to explore, a huge set of skills, a lot of things to do .. and is just generally fun.

Beautiful and artistic. Very forgiving gameplay. A very linear plot. Has some unfortunate mini-games that break the general style and fun.

  • Properly titled Ōkami
  • Japanese: 大神 (literally “great god”)
  • aka Ohkami (Oh Ka Mi)
