Zathras Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I'm always looking for new music/movies/books/whatever and the first line of the Gene thread inspired this thread. If you like X, you might also like Y Fill in the X and Ys with anything you care to To avoid typing it out every time why don't we make % = "you might also like" Bands: The Smiths % Belle & Sebastian They Might Be Giants % The Aquabats Movies: Spinal Tap % Best in Show You get the idea - I'll work on a longer list of my thoughts but I'll go ahead and post this to get everyone started...

iainl Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Might is the correct word. I can't stand Belle & Effing Sebastian, but there you go. How about: Mercury Rev % Home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted January 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Thats weird you are the first one I've encountered wholiked one but not the other, but yes that is why I said "might" Ben Folds % Joe Jackson Rez % Frequency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Originally posted by Zathras@Jan 9 2004, 02:36 PM Rez % Frequency Despite them being completely different gamestyles, I know what you mean. To further this idea, Rez % Panzer Dragoon Frequency % Parappa The Rappa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain rising Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Originally posted by iainl@Jan 9 2004, 09:25 AM Rez % Panzer Dragoon I agree. I've been playing a lot of Rez the past week or so and it's got me itching to go back and play more Panzer Dragoon Orta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted January 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I only played the demo of Parappa and while I really liked the concept/music I could NEVER get past the level. Maybe I should try the actual game to jump block and kick-it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I find the gameplay of Frequency/Amplitude to be totally different from the Parappa/Um Jammer Lammy school. While I'm reasonably and surprisingly halfway-adept at F/A, I can make neither heads nor tails of P/UJL games. I'm talking "not get past the first few bars" bad.

iainl Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Really? I'm the other way around; found Parappa good fun but not too challenging, while I just can't do level 3 on Hard of Frequency at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlucci Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Originally posted by kfredericks@Jan 9 2004, 09:54 PM KOTOR % Deux Ex Rocky IV % The Cutting Edge Rocky IV with the cutting edge, eh? Is that "The Cutting Edge" with DB Sweeny, ex hockey player turned figure skater? How did you put those two together.? Don't get me wrong, I agree it's a good movie, but just don't see that much of a connection. Here's mine: Scrubs % Arrested Development. Scrubs is in danger of being passed by AD as my favorite comedy. This show is genius. Please check it out. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Just thought of another one: Survivor (and reality shows in general) % The Apprentice The Apprentice is from Executive Producer Mark Burnett, so it has a lot of the same "feel" as survivor. Basically, it involves 16 motivated young entrepeneur who are seeking a job with Donald Trump's corporation. Each week, one is "fired" by the Donald, until one is left standing, and he/she will receive a 6 figure job in one of Trump's companies. Next episode is Thursday after Friends. I have a feeling we will see all of the back-stabbing, treachery, and deception that we've come to know and love in Survivor, and WISH we could do in the real world. Carlos.

adamsappel Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Originally posted by stencil@Jan 13 2004, 12:03 PM The Others % The Changeling The Changeling is one of the scariest movies ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Office Space % The Office Picked up the first season (six eps) this weekend and it is hilarious if you like Office Space or good British comedy in general. It's shot in an excellent documentary style that's quite good and it eschews sit-com plotting for actual humor. This leads to some amazingly good awkward silences and such. Really need two episodes to get into it as the first one is good, but the second is a riot now that you know the characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Advance Wars % Final Fantasy Tactics The above games are very different, but the modular structure of the battle encounters makes it a great pick-up-and-play quality, while the RPG and Final Fantasy elements escalate it to one of the most addictive gameboy games ever.

Carlucci Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 "Dennis Miller Live" on HBO % "Dennis Miller" on CNBC. His new show starts tonight! Schedule for re-airings is as follows: 9:00 PM ET 12:00 AM ET 4:00 AM ET I was a huge fan of his HBO show, so I'm hoping this show will be great as well. I'll probably tivo one of the later airings and watch it tomorrow. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 X-Com % Silent Storm Turn based strategy. Isometric 3D viewpoint. Destructible buildings. I think I still prefer X-Com more, but SS is a pretty damn good game so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
