The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was a fabulous game! 

You’re a good man, Jason.

Escape from Butcher Bay is one of my all time favorites. I think I’m going to replay it.

Is it really “woke” ?

It deals with systemic racism and mass incarceration.

Well hopefully you focus more on science fiction and the future. I tend to find extremely woke stories to be uninteresting since it’s a played out subject. Though, I’m sure you can find a way to balance the story so it isn’t too on the nose.

Either way, it’s cool how you’re writing a screenplay.

I bet it still stands up to today’s games. “Wanna live? Get yourself a shiv”

Don't ruin this thread with video game talk. We're adults here.

Oh man I love those shivs, and being able to see in the dark.

I feel like it has aged well, too. Though, I haven’t played it since high school. But, I distinctly remember it being so good because the rich and expansive environment, so the narrative doesn’t rely on mindless gameplay followed by long boring cutscenes. I would say that the game is better than the movies it’s based on because of its unique storytelling—and that’s quite a feat, since the movies are really good.

And yeah I loved Vin Diesel’s voice acting in that game. Cole Houser is great as Johns, too.

About half way through the first season of raised by wolves.  I think it’s good.  It’s on HBO Max.

I have never subscribed to Netflix. I'm already spending $65/mo. on YouTube TV and $139/yr. on Amazon Prime plus $80/mo. to my ISP. But I am considering Netflix which would be another $15.99/mo.

What are your top 10 favorite Netflix shows? Or if you don't feel like giving me 10 give me 5 or whatever.

Well Netfix has a pretty wide range of shows, movies and specials. 

[RallyMo]

Severance (Apple TV+)

I've only seen the first episode, but I'm sold on this one. Incredibly solid pilot.

Is that the Ben Stiller show? I've heard good things about it.

Yeah, it's the Ben Stiller show. It has a 70's paranoia film vibe to it. They do a really great job at setting the tone.

Borgen  (Danish political drama) is back 9 years after the 3rd season aired in 2013. 

Excellent show.

I'll try and come up with my top ten...

10) Money Heist
9 ) OA
8 ) Queens Gambit 
7 ) Ozark
6 ) House of Cards
5 ) Mindhunter
4 ) Haunting of Hill House
3 ) The Crown
2 ) Midnight Mass
1 ) Dark

The bottom three could easily be interchanged with a bunch of others not on the list. Seven through three are completely interchangeable. Top two are way ahead of the pack. There are also quite a few that I haven't seen. I skipped comedies, docs and movies, of which there are several goods ones.

I never read the book.  But the series was phenomenal.  And I hate the horror genre.
