That's a tough question. I don't play as much multiplayer as I used to since leaving home. Having two brothers made multiplayer a breeze. I play a lot of co-op things now with my wife but if I had to pick a favorite...probably Smash Bros. If you press me for which one I'd probably pick Melee.
The only kind of game I really can't get into is simulation sports games, like Madden or FIFA. I could not care less about those. Otherwise I just like playing good games, whether that be a mechanical powerhouse or something with a good story. I'll forgive a lot for a good story.
It's very clever and the music fits it so well.
Maybe for pandas 
I dunno. Communists, probably.
Huh. Not sure how that would work digitally 
But cool, of course.
I'd always heard Persona 3 was 100+ hours but you're the second person on Pixlbit to tell me that isn't necessarily the case. That gives me hope 
I think it used to be on Netflix but not anymore. We just bought the DVDs.
I'm glad you're giving The Unfinished Swan another go. It's a good game and an easy one to knock out of the backlog.
The library is really great. I'm trying to do more reading this year but I have tons of books already that I want to read, like the first couple Odd Thomas books. Last week I bought a Deus Ex novel. Looking forward to getting into that.
I don't have much time for tv shows, not if I want to play games too. I really like Firefly, though that certainly isn't science-heavy. But funny you mention Ghost in the Shell. My wife and I are watching Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig right now (I've seen it before, she hasn't). I love Ghost in the Shell.
