What are some unknown/forgotten games that you recommended people try?

Slipstream is a game I've barely played and yet still sticks with me via it's phenomenal soundtrack and nailed iteration of classic arcade racers.

Get Even's release was absolutely silent, which is a shame, because I even did a surprise video on it I liked it so much.

I found Twin Cop entirely thanks to one of SuperBunnyhop's livestream. Having gotten to play it myself years later at a friends house, it is peak comedy playing as one cop in gun-fights, car chases, and mini-games as two people, an almost perfect co-op game.

And lastly, Z-Type, is a free browser typing game that I always boot up whenever getting a new board, though it's also a fun game in its own right. Also a good time killer at work. Speaking from experience.

What the first game or series comes to mind when asked what you will never do a years later on and why?

Final Fantasy.

Too many games, too many teams, too many articles, too many theories, too many versions, too many everything... 

and I've never played one.

Kinda has everything going against it in terms of being covered by me. Though, that's okay. There's more than enough people willing to make in-depth content about the series, that nothing's being lost.

Do you have any examples of memorable moments that were elevated to "won't ever forget" status by the music used in the scene?

Halo's story was carried 75% by its soundtrack. Takeaway that music from the Halo trilogy, and almost none of the sequences would have the impact they did. "Wake Me When You Need Me" is the main reason Halo 3's conclusion works so well. A perfect blend of nostalgia and closure.

The modern Wolfenstein games are phenomenal at this. The ending of Old Blood has its one two punch of the final track building up to New Order, and the credits song that hits so much harder than anyone ever expected.

Cyberpunk's littered with amazing music, and amazing music ques. The Nomad quests were consistency enhanced with its various versions of "Outsider No More" fueling the ambience in the background.

And of course... the ladder.
