Ask Lemmy

I am the KWING of this genre. There was a phenomenal show on PAX yes the Canadian local station called "Young Blades". It was SO good. About the three musketeers then a girl disguises herself as a boy to join them. I wish I could find it on the internet somewhere.

A tale in the desert was kind of Minecraft before Minecraft. Such a great game.

Nexus Tk kingdom of the winds was also great until they changed the system for leveling.

Tons of books or book series like Darren Shan saga and tales of ambrose. This great series by Christopher pike about vampires

My entire life has been spent in this genre 😆

Henry Kuttner's short-ish story ‘Year Day’ from 1953 predicted how advertising will be in the future that we're on track to hit. The story was published in the collection appropriately named ‘Ahead of Time’.

The 10th Kingdom (2000). Great miniseries that mashes up fairy tales some modern twists. I really enjoyed all the characters, and the kind-of multiverse was cool.

Tremulous (2006). A first person shooter with first person builder elements. The human team depends on electricity for their various guns and turrets, the alien team can build anywhere and walk on the walls and ceilings, but are more limited to their claw's melee range. There was no matchmaking so you just went to the same server all the time and made friends with the people there. It was cool.

Which Zelda game could possibly be your example of underrated?

Music: Salmon. It's ADHD music ... it jumps around a lot. Rock / rap from the late 90's. Great instruments.

Show: Kung Faux. Stoner comedy. Old kung fu movies re-dubbed in a gangsta style and set to hip hop beats. Edited to evoke comic books, 70's movies, and video games.

M.U.L.E. - old Commodore 64 and Atari game

2 80s movies I just love:

• Head Office. Mocks corporate culture and holds up in current corporate culture. Really good cast, and plenty of good jokes and storylines.
• Robot Jox. So damn stupid, but I just can’t quit it. Cool premise, not great special effects, but good enough to still be fun.

Planet of the Apes - the French book that spawned all the films an shows.

Metalocalypse. If you like metal music, animated shows and a bit of dark humor then this is the show for you.

Runner up: Aqua Team Hunger Force - if you like short stupid storylines and crude jokes.

And bonus: Squidbillies - if you like Aqua Teen Hunger Force but you want things the get even stupider.

Headbangers: Rhythm Royale. I really want to see the alternate universe where this game took off, it's a really fun rhythm based battle royale.

However when you can't find players to play with gameplay against bots feel give 0 challange, you don't really get the satisfaction out of winning.

Netherbeast Incorporated is a weird but charming vampire office comedy from 2007, featuring Darrel Hammond, Dave Foley, and Steve from Blues Clues. And a small appearance by Robert Wagner as President James Garfield.

It's kind of dumb, but I love it. I have never met another person in real life who's seen it.

PK. A Bollywood movie that really resonated with me.
