Anyone who's a fan of Star Trek, Firefly, etc, and likes (or doesn't mind) challenging games should play indie PC game FTL. It's a really fun and well-designed pseudo-Roguelike about managing a small spaceship as it races through space fighting and exploring, and is only $10 on Steam or from http://www.ftlgame.com/ . I've seen several people describe FTL as "the game I didn't know I always wanted", and I felt the same.
It's also good practice for risk and crisis management - there's a lot of literal putting out of fires :).
Thanks! I'm definitely looking forward to the LW 0x10c guild...
This is the monthly thread for posting media of various types that you've found that you enjoy. I find that exposure to LW ideas makes me less likely to enjoy some entertainment media that is otherwise quite popular, and finding media recommended by LWers is a good way to mitigate this. Post what you're reading, listening to, watching, and your opinion of it. Post recommendations to blogs. Post whatever media you feel like discussing! To see previous recommendations, check out the older threads.
