I do not think this fandom is going to fade to dust anytime soon.
We are still here. Have fun during your stay!

James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2. Everything he does just urges an in-depth review!

(In no particular order or rank)
10. Lone Survivor - This survival horror by Jasper Bryne sports a euphoric soundtrack and psychological story that resonates with the mind long after the end.
9. Silent Hill 2 - The inspiration for #10. For those familiar with the game, I think little more can be said to praise its stellar atmosphere and presentation.
8. Little Inferno - It is a deceptive app that turns the concept of games on its head the more you think about its themes.
7. Hotline Miami - You can be smashing heads and blasting shotguns one moment, and in the next, there would be a surreal tune to let you think about what you just did.
6. Journey - Some revelations are made solely by interactions. Words get in the way of interpretation. Journey knows this better than any other game.
5. Alan Wake - Never thought writing could be cool? Here's a game by the ever talented Remedy that turns every trope of fiction into gold.
4. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door - The best product of Mario innovations since Super Mario 64!
3. Max Payne 2 - A noir love story/bullet ballet/epiphany for the poetic tragedy that is Max Payne. Remedy delivers a stunning game of betrayal and despair with an ending that urges reflection.
2. Metal Gear Solid 3 - James Bond. Nationalism. Masculinity. Player choice. Pedestals. Empowerment. All are deconstructed, lampooned, inverted, or subverted spectacularly for popcorn entertainment!
1. Bastion - The Kid has a suave narrator telling a story around his actions. He doesn't pay much mind to it, seeing as there are plenty more interesting and life-threatening monsters to attack.

MLP: FiM SD Archive / Re: Would you still watch the show if it slowly switched focus on new characters?

I understand that certain characters may appear to be at the end of their central character arcs. It strikes me still how Rainbow Dash has not gotten into the Wonderbolts, which feels like a milestone that should have been passed in season 3. Yet the wonderful thing about growing characters is evolution: by advancing further in life, characters begin adapting as to face new challenges and adopt new mindsets.
If the show's writers ever decide to give the rest of the Mane Six a new milestone in their lives or give the CMC their cutie marks, then I feel that by growing, these characters would never cease learning new lessons to form episodes around. Allowing character evolution by letting time run its course in the show would be a bold step forward for the themes of the show.
Though, I admit that it would be nice to have episodes centered around minor characters.

I am the Amateur.
I specialize in thematic analysis of gaming, film, and literature, all while doing nothing to curb the bluntness of my opinions. Maybe that is why no one likes to talk to me when I am honest.
Anyway. I hope to expand the horizons of my perspective by meeting some of you in the forums and in game!
