If I know a lot about a game I have never played, it's Portal.
My computer cannot handle it, but I've watched a lot of vids of it, and loved the overall story.
4 kids try to play a game and then everyone starts dying.
ben-to was amazing, it was over the top in all the right ways
Girl Genius (webcomic)
"As mad scientists fight over a balkanized Europe, a young woman learns she not only has the mad-science 'Spark', but is the child of one of Europe's greatest heroes."
(The "official" synopsis is better, but it's two sentences. This isn't a fandom that gives us much business, but it's nice to have something the Suethors leave alone.)
Shadowrun
- In the year 2072 corporations rule, using governments as their puppets, magic has returned to the world, bringing with it a whole host of fantastic creatures, and natural disasters coupled with vicious take-overs mean that maps have had to be entirely redrawn.
Frankenstein, Agent of SHADE (Comic book)
- Frankenstein, who was apparently Conan at one point in the past, judging from his sword, is the leader of a BPRD-like group called the Creature Commandos, as they protect the world from all kinds of other monsters.
Shadowrun is a tabletop RPG, by the way.
Portal and Portal 2
I'm not sure I need to elaborate any more, but for form's sake:
First person "shooter" puzzle game. Physics and portals. Crazy AIs. Weighted Companion cubes. Jumping, flinging, running, and test-solving for your life. Neurotoxin.
And cake, of course.

Loved Uzumaki! Kirie is just way too blunt. Been trying to get the courage to read more things from Junji Ito like the Enigma of Amigara Fault, but the pics might not be stomachable...@_@
Especially if you look at parodies after.

...to the recommendation of Haruhi Suzumiya. Truly a fantastic series; make sure to read the light novels though (not that that anime is bad, it's great, but the novels give you a fuller picture).
There's also the (animated) film The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, which is brilliant.
What's the plot if it? I've only heard hypes of it,looks sorta like a slice-of-life with the seifuku and everything.
Not really a fan of SoL unless the idea has a quirky feel about it, and by quirky I mean "What do you mean, it's not awesome?" (like bento)
I like this idea. It is always good to have a new game.
The First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever by Stephen R. Donaldson
Misanthropic leper meets giants, Ravers, Drool Rockworm, and a villian named Lord Foul.
BBC's Sherlock - Live Action TV show
"Sherlock Holmes in the 21st century, with Arthur Dent as Watson!"
Tales of Vesperia - Japanese RPG video game
"Start off chasing down a thief, and end up preventing the Apocalypse, with a subtle environmental lesson sneaked in."
It's basically a group of Bento stores get the idea to blitz sale (all bento half price when bought in the next X hours thing), and their customers literally fight over it. Meanwhile and unlucky everydude tries to get close to a girl who's neck deep in this.
Also contains a Rei Ayanami Expy.
