@RachaelCamui What's your favorite from this century?

[Joshua Zinn @HPMZinn]

@Komaniecki_R I've enjoyed your series immensely, and it's making me think I need to revisit Hunchback. I don't think I've watched it since the 90s, when I was very much a child who may not have appreciated some of these interesting musical elements.

[Joshua Zinn @HPMZinn]

@carrarium Small people with small minds. Celeste community seems like good folks, and I always enjoy watching y'all's runs! Sorry that some people are so rude.

[Joshua Zinn @HPMZinn]

@RachaelCamui Same. Will never forget thinking, "Oh, so the game is THIS big, huh?"

[Joshua Zinn @HPMZinn]

@MarsScarbo @Komaniecki_R Spot on. I do like some of his music, but most of it just doesn't move the needle for me! And yet, he was a remarkable craftsman, nonetheless.

@Komaniecki_R I discovered Pärt in undergrad when one of my composition colleagues was assigned a talk on him by our professor. Felt like I had discovered something I was desperately missing from my musical knowledge at the time. (Discovered Britten around the same time, too.) Great piece.

[Joshua Zinn @HPMZinn]

@Komaniecki_R Same.

[Joshua Zinn @HPMZinn]

@Helexzura I think it either has to be Doom or Halo. Both are major landmarks and represent a genre that is equally as iconic as the three listed already. I might give a slight edge to Halo just because its impact is more recent, but I personally love Doom more.

@16bitnostalgia The dungeon design peaks early with Forest Temple and dips in quality after that.

@acolleendg @HoustonPubMedia Welcome aboard!

@KERR0N Any of the SNES or PS1 games would be a good start. Those are the golden age of the franchise and embody what people like best about the series, I think.

@Stealth40k Wild that Ocarina of Time is still on this pedestal when an even better Zelda game came out just two years after it.

[Joshua Zinn @HPMZinn]

The best cold open into title sequence in the franchise. I can't imagine this will ever be topped. (Moonraker is the worst, for those asking.)

[Stephen Ford @StephenSeanFord]

Casino Royale is the sauce.

[Joshua Zinn @HPMZinn]

@allenvonghornet Yes, I am a child of the 90s.

[Joshua Zinn @HPMZinn]

@Komaniecki_R I hate the blind cave salamander level.

[Joshua Zinn @HPMZinn]

@Komaniecki_R Saw it myself just a few weeks ago. Absolutely loved it. Göransson is such an easy lock for Best Original Score.

[Joshua Zinn @HPMZinn]

@GameSpot IX so low is criminal!

@evildeadthing Neither The Babadook nor It Follows were the best horror films of 2014. In fact, both were simply okay.
