I like Tomb Raider but I can think of many games that deserve a series or movie too. For starters:

Deus Ex

Battlefield  

Homeworld

Crysis

Half-Life

Starcraft

Any classic Sierra game (Space Quest, Kings Quest, etc)

Yes, some are already with a Hollywood studio but they've gone nowhere whereas there has been plenty of Tomb Raider media already.

There’s definitely room for some cool stuff. The Fallout series is surprisingly good and wouldn’t mind some of the ones mentioned above. Maybe go wild and a Jak and Daxter project for funsies or maybe get the testosterone going with Duke Nukem

The finale of Paradise S1 didn't quite live up to the buildup IMO, but Episode 7 was one of the most bone-chilling TV episodes ever, so I'm in for another round.

This looks entertaining.

We watched an older show that we were a bit late at catching from before the pandemic. Vice Principals on HBO whatever it is these days. Actually was really funny and not sure why we kept putting it off. I guess there were only two seasons, but everything has a conclusion. 
I think if you liked Righteous Gemstones, then you’d probably really like this one as well since it has a good amount of the same cast and very similar humor style, just with two guys struggling to become the principal of the high school doing and saying things that no real high school would ever put up with…. ever.

Netflix' "The Beast in me" was the best miniseries I watched in the recent past. Good writing, beautifully shot, and the two leads are killing it in every scene. Hitchcock reloaded.

Certainly seems more interesting than that other thriller miniseries that I saw the other day, His and Hers. Started out strong, then ended on a stuuupid twist that made the entire endeavor not worth it at all.

Was thinking about watching that one. Trying to convince myself to finish Wonderman, but it’s sooo boring

Thanks for the warning, we were planning to see that next. On to Cemetery Road, then.

Yeah, I might skip it as well. Lots of post fallout disappointments. Haven’t found anything to fill the gap yet since Fallout ran out of episodes this season

Gremlins 2 was playing the other night, and I had forgotten how wonderfully corny it was! Always love when Cates' character of Kate Beringer's starts to go into her traumatic dialogue in this one, and it's about a Lincoln-impersonator-flasher!

Definitely one of the greats, also gotta love Slayer on the soundtrack

Some goodies there. I'll add Dishonored to the list.

In light of how well Fallout has been done, I'd love to see either a Deus Ex or Halflife series with the same rigorous attention to detail.

I think Starcraft would end up being a Starship Troopers clone, but a Command and Conquer:Tiberian Sun series could be cheesy good fun.

I'll second The Beast in Me for a watch.  Excellent all-around.

It was no surprise that the design would get the green light for an animated series. After all, everyone knows that both Dana and Glitch have a certain rivalry with Disney, and even if the pilot hadn't been as successful as expected, it would have been made anyway.

Who/what are Dana, Glitch, Knights of Guinevere, Park Planet, etc.?

Dana is the name of Dana Terrace, an animation creator who made an animated series for Disney called Owl House, but it was canceled for "not fitting the channel."
GLITCH is a group of animators who, tired of receiving "no" (mainly from Disney, from what I've heard, if I'm not mistaken, of course), created a studio and made animations directly for YouTube.
The Knights of Guinevere is her animation at Glitch; I recommend watching the pilot on the Glitch channel.
Park Planet is the Disneyland version of the cartoon.
