Glad to see Last Thursdayism is notable enough to make the list, easily one of my favorites.

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?
This movie is integral to understanding the comedic genius of the Community episode titled "Critical Film Studies (aka My Dinner with Abed)" Season 2, Episode 19 of Community.
It's happening again...
Definitely one of those games with incredible background designs that are worth just stopping and looking at sometimes. It's one of the few games I've gotten 100% achievements on and a large part of that is I can treasure hunt a long time when the scenery gives me something stunning to look at.
These are my sentiments exactly, very excited to see this getting closer to release. If I had to sum up my feelings of enthusiasm, I'd quote Lea's joyous line: "Hi! Lea! Hi!"
CrossCode has some of the funnest and most satisfying mechanics of all time for me, and seeing that same kind of slick combat and use of powers for exploration seems like they kept everything that made it so fantastic while creating something new that's dripping with style.
Since CrossCode also had one of the most emotionally effective uses of story pacing for me as well (and because I loved Lea's limited access to a full vocabulary and the excitement when Sergey would break his way through the communication system so she can access a new word), I'm very curious what it's going to be like with a protagonist that speaks in full.
For those who watched the movie The Endless (2017) -- does anyone else think this guy played a role in the film?
Fool really does define itself out of a lot of his other works since it is based in Shakespeare's world. If you like that kind of pre-existing, historical type of setting, I might recommend Sacre Bleu. Moore explores Vincent Van Gogh's superstitions about using the color blue in his paintings and how it connects to his maddening and unusual death. Even without knowing a ton about art or famous artists, he really did a good job bringing in every major player from Monet to Degas as characters in the book in a way that explained who they are and what role they play, all with an inventive and entertaining supernatural explanation as to why so many 19th century artists were a bit bonkers.
That said, I just found out Moore created a Fool trilogy with Pocket going on to be the main character in the sequels The Serpent of Venice and Shakespeare for Squirrels (I also just found out he did a sequel to A Dirty Job which I'd always longed for)! Needless to say, now that I know they exist, they're all going on my reading list!
Definitely. There was this lucid dream where I was excited that I actually realized I was dreaming and could experience it conciously. There were certain things I couldn't do and eventually people in the dream revealed I couldn't control those things because I wasn't actually dreaming, but was dead.
It was a good twist. Freaked me out and I couldn't wake up so I figured it was true. Of course the double twist was that I wasn't actually dead and was just in fact dreaming, but it was a good ride. It's got kind of a lynchian vibe that I'd be down to just watch it as a movie.
