Here's a list of the books I read that have something to do with video games.
Halo: Broken Circle - It's a Halo book.
The Hunt for Red October - It was made into a video game and it mentioned PC game Choplifter several times. It was the game the sonar expert, who was described as a dweeb with mad skills at hearing enemy subs, was obsessed with.
Harry Potter 2, 3, 4 - All made into video games.
Halo: Hunters in the Dark - It's a Halo book.
Here's a list of films I saw that have some references to video games.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - There is Steve's own video (or pinball, I forget now) game on his ship in one scene.
Delta Force 1 and 2 - If they weren't actually made directly into a video game, many action video games of the 80s took inspiration from these films.
Chappie - Look to see, in one scene, what is powering the computers that transfer a human mind's consciousness to a chip. It's a stack of PS4s!!!
Mad Max Fury Road - Made directly into the 2015 video game Mad Max.
Ice Pirates - I believe, when the main character's ship fights a bunch of other ships, you see it done in video game form on one of the ship's monitors like Space Invaders.
Die Hard - Made into a video game.
Ghost in the Shell - Made into a video game on PS1. I think there were a few others on PS2 as well.
In Music, here's a list of some stuff that's gaming related.
The Imitation Game soundtrack. This one's all about Alan Turing, a man who was instrumental in the creation of computers and hence, video games. The soundtrack has some early computer like sounds imbedded in it that made me think of gaming.
Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold soundtrack. I got this with the preorder and it's very nice. The music conjures up fantasy landscapes for me.
Mad Max: Fury Road soundtrack. It's full of lots of drums and primal rhythms. Kind of scary really, but I think of all the action scenes in that movie when I hear it.
And that's about all for 2015 listomania. Got any lists? Put them in the comments. I love lists!
