    How to Train Your Dragon Trilogy.

    I watched the first one on a ferry, and just hearing the title made me think it was going to be some nonsense. And then it was amazing.

    Then they announced a second, and I was thinking what do they expect to do with this and then they gave something intensely heartwarming and heart wrenching. I found it better and deeper than the first.

    And then the third. I don’t think it was as clean as the other two, but it closed it off so beautifully I was bawling at the end. Absolutely perfect.

    If you’re in your teens the original mass effect trilogy, from the storytelling to the going through the different genres of games

      in your teens…

      Are you saying you only enjoy mass effect in your teens, or only if you are a teenager then you would remember playing mass effect? Cause both of those are wrong.

        Nah it just has a different impact when you’re still filled with wonder and not just jaded and conditioned to just fill checklists, the gameplay of the games isn’t that good it’s all about the world building and the branching paths in the stories

            Let me put it this way, when the games came out I would read every codex entry and mission description and do multiple playthroughs to see every possible scene, I have like 3k hours combined between the three games on record.

            These days I just blast trough games and struggle to stop and listen to some audiolog

              I understand what you are saying, I’m just saying I disagree. I think that’s a personal issue. I mean if you’ve played the games before and read it all sure, it’s gonna be harder to want to stop and smell the roses, and that’s fine, you enjoy it in a different way. But you can still make time to fall into a game the way you did before, just gotta try a little bit and you’ll be surprised at how easy it is to get drawn in the same way.

              I’m in my 30s and when I play a new game I do that, I read all the little books in BG3, I visit all the extra hidden spots I can find in things like breath of the wild, and yeah I’ve played mass effect before, have a good chunk of it memorized, so I don’t play it the same way, but if I had never played it before I would play it the same way. Just got to take your time when you have it.

                Maybe Im just tired of games in general, bg3 was the kind of game I wanted to inmerse myself in but I couldn’t be bothered to read about random lore, I just kept going through the motions doing multiple playthroughs with different classes, alignments and love interests but that’s as far as I was able to get into it.

                Which to be fair is still very deep but it’s not the same process of discovery it was when I was a kid anymore

                  That’s fair, maybe you need a break, or even just playing another kind of game for a little while, give your mind a reset. I go through stages where I’ll play one kinda game for a while, and then switch to another, sometimes you just gotta switch it up a bit. Don’t force yourself when you aren’t in the mood.

      Definitely not. I’m a huge fan of the originals since I was a kid, but there’s no way Return of the Jedi finished out a perfect trilogy. No way. Not even close.

      EDIT: It’s by far my favorite, no other trilogy comes close for me. But it is not perfect.

        You didn’t think the right note to go out on was with Ewoks doing fat rails and partying to that banger song Love The One You’re With?

    I’m re-reading the Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zhan and it’s a lot better than I remember it.

    Last time I read it, I was 10. I’m now 40 and it’s a much more interesting story now.

    Was inspired when I watched Andor and it reminded me of Zhan’s take on the SW universe.

    SOAD albums Mezmerize and Hypnotize.

    Not all their best songs on those two albums, and some of them kind of sucked tbh.

    However. How the fuck ever.

    Listen to the entire pair, all the way through, in order, longhand. I don’t care, just do it.

    When you get to the last track, Soldier side, it pulls together all the themes that have been foreshadowed and hinted at across two entire albums, and oh holy fucking shit. When it breaks, your jaw will drop.
