We should be friends. What's your favorite animated film and/or video game? For me, WALL-E and Borderlands 2. Both for technical reasons more than entertainment reasons.
Hard to pick but for the longest time my favourite animated film was How to Train Your Dragon, the firdt one is really charming. There's so many good ones to pick from. Wall-E is a great movie, and the soundtrack composed by Thomas Newman is just, chef's kiss, y'know? Have you ever watched song if the sea? Another good one with a great story and beautiful music. Do you watch animated series? Anything you particularly enjoyed lately?
Favourite video game right now is Hollow Knight, even though metroidvanias aren't necessarily my thing. I've never played Borderlands, what's the gameplay like?
Borderlands is a looter shooter. You shoot things, they drop bigger guns, you shoot bigger things that drop even BIGGER guns. It's the FPS version of Diablo.
I specifically love #2 because of the writing. Sure, they have middle school jokes that involve Bonerfarts, but under it's goofy surface, it pulls you in and builds these characters around you, and it does NOT hold back from throwing you curve balls!
That game honestly made me laugh AND cry multiple times.
I might check it out then. Shooter games aren't really my jam but I play Fortnite and Overwatch with my son from time to time and he loves it, so maybe I check it out with him. He might be too young for it though.
