My picks are:

Game: Portal 2.
Book: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
TV show: Bojack Horseman.
Movie: The Shawshank Redemption.

Oh wow, I actually haven't read the Rama books (been meaning to!), but I vividly remember the flawed-but-wonderous PC adventure game. Have you played it by chance?

Haha, grokking abstract space-math associations maybe wasn't my strength when I was like...7 or something (prolly still isn't LOL). But I sure did enjoy crudely drawing the biots and aliens. :D

The soundtrack is still one of my favorites from any game, ever.

This humorous review is fun to watch, but there's really good gameplay and stuff without commentary too. :)

I played the game back when it originally came out. Like any media based on a book, it was slightly frustrating for a while that the graphics didn't match the visuals I had imagined whole reading the book. I still have the discs somewhere, might see if I can get it running somehow. I suspect I'll find the game mechanics to be clunky but today's standards.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a movie made yet.
