recommendations lost and found

sev · February 5, 2012 03:18 AM

everyone has things they like that they want more of, but those things aren't the easiest to find. these things can be really anything, specifically music, images, games, videos or just concepts. i thought it'd be cool to make a thread for it. i made one sort of like this a long time ago but i think this one will be better, especially with some of the new faces on here

the idea:
1. post something in the thread you want more of, make sure to specify examples (example: hi i'm nancy i really like amazing rpg experiences can anyone link me to similar to fantastic games like runescape?)
2. other people will respond and give you things that are similar to what you want (example: hi nancy i know of a really great mmorpg it's called minecraft i think you will like it it is the game of the FUTURE)
3. if you have more things that are like the things that other people want, post those too! remember, sharing is caring

i'll post an example. i'm looking for different kinds of neat retro nostalgic japanese or japanese-inspired things that i haven't seen yet. it'd be cool if some of these things were pixel-related but they don't have to be. things that are sort of like these:

CAVE STORY (game)
Cave Story - Hell B1 in 17.8 / 洞窟物語聖域

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BOMB (music)
Artificial Intelligence Bomb

PAUL ROBERTSON (pixel art)

YUME NIKKI (game)

OMOIDE WA OKKUSENMAN! (music)
Jam Project - Omoide wa Okkusenman!

MEGA MAN 2 (game)
Mega Man 2- Airman

KIRBY'S ADVENTURE (game)

something like that! i thought it'd work better in a small community than on something as giant and kind of impersonal as 4chan

it's basically about the inner workings of a young girl's subconscious and exploring it. it's a really bizarre game made in rpg maker, but has pretty much no rpg elements. the game itself is neat and the pixel art in it is interesting, but a lot of the fun of yume nikki comes from the theories behind the things that the main character (named "madotsuki") dreams about symbolize. i put that image up in particular because UBOA is in it, uboa being the fan-name for that thing you see on the right. somewhat reminiscent of no-face from spirited away, its appearance looks like old japanese ghosts and i've always thought those are cool looking.

sounds pretty interesting. i'll probably check it out sooner or later.

that gives me an idea. i always thought weird japanese folklore stuff was cool so if someone can recommend me something like pom poko, kiki kaikai (pocky and rocky), or spirited away that would be awesome.

sev · February 5, 2012 04:14 AM

Asura's Wrath TGS 2010 Debut Trailer [HD]
Buso Renkin Opening (the song, not the anime, buso renkin doesn't look that manly)
Cromartie High School English Opening

The Cat Empire is a good band, assuming you dont hate ska

ZennyPLUS · February 5, 2012 04:26 AM

Did I read that right? ... cunts?

Abnormal · February 5, 2012 04:47 AM

recommend me a good band i mean good if you recommend something bad i'll steal your pizza points

naturally · February 5, 2012 05:10 AM

i think the pixies are a good band

Sef · February 5, 2012 05:13 AM

Fair to Midland is also pretty cool

lenko · February 5, 2012 05:25 AM

some more (good, or at least entertaining) martial arts movies. i've already seen a lot of famous modern ones (ip man, ong bak, fearless, hero, kung fu hustle, shaolin soccer, crouching tiger etc), but as far as pre-90's go i've only seen stuff by bruce lee and jackie chan. no crap like forbidden kingdom, shanghai knights, rush hour and the tuxedo (you know the awful american cash-in films). the more ridiculous the better!!

ok ill admit i really didnt want recommendations i just like going 'i said GOOD bands' when someone suggests me a band ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@sev: check out hajime no ippo its a boxing anime and one of the longest ongoing mangas ever. i know sport animes have a bad rep but after this you will think otherwise
@lenko: have you seen crouching tiger, hidden dragon?
