Thought it was worth a shot, and I like the arrangement from the movie. Ah well--have these instead.

1x:
Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride [Lilo & Stitch]
The Chase [National Treasure]

Eh. One more.

1x:
Reflections of Earth [Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration]

You've awakened something terrible...!

5x
Space Mountain (2005) [Space Mountain]

2x:
We Go On [Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration]
Why Should I Worry [Oliver and Company]
Down to Earth [WALLE]
Worthless [The Brave Little Toaster]

1x
Chip 'N' Dale's Rescue Rangers Theme Song [Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers]
Call Me, Beep Me [Kim Possible]
Theme Song [Boy Meets World]
Master User (Ambient) / The Net [TRON 2.0]
Rhapsody in Blue [Fantasia 2000]
He Lives in You [The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride]
The Scare Floor [Monsters, Inc.]
Kronos Unveiled [The Incredibles]
Le festin [Ratatouille]
The Light Sailer [TRON]

I'll hold onto the remaining ten noms for now.

Games really have gotten away from me, that list shows. In any case...

Return of the Obra Dinn
Outer Wilds
Baba Is You
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

Ah shit, did we forget to nom P.T.?!

Ratatouille is one of my all-timers despite the presence of Patton Oswalt. Remy is a wonderful character and I related greatly to the two synesthesia scenes in the film.

Yes!

Ah man I got nothin'.

The Witness

X-2 is great

Gravity is the worst of that list by a country mile. Brilliant score by Steven Price and one of the most accurate depictions of space in all science fiction. It's a success in those regards.

But what the fuck is with that screenplay

Portal 2

Portal

Sole Landstalker voter here. Isometric plane with light puzzle-solving. Excellent music, too.

There's no reason to play Sword of Vermilion today. Everything it does has been done better elsewhere, and as a clone it's not especially fun.

Portal 2

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations

Never claimed I was playing to win! Neat site, there.

Portal

MKWii was a game-changer though. Hasn't been replicated.

Vampire Survivors

Iconic? Shit, it's apparently not easy to tell a prevailing story from the realm of video games. Sonic 2020 definitely made a splash and has been immortalized by its Cinderella story, but I'm tempted to give it to Street Fighter (1994) for that hilarious Bison performance.

I also like the first Silent Hill and love Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva, but I hesitate to call those 'iconic'. Does the Sonic OVA count? I keep coming back to Sonic.

If you'te talking about that miserable post-irony that hates its audience, Raka's got it.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney lord have mercy

Portal 2
Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors

Ah hell, just remembered National Anthem has that spoken bit. If it's not altogether too late...
replace The National Anthem with:
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Karn Evil 9: 2nd Impression

If all these things just co-exist now, can I animorph into a pokemon

I love Space Funeral so might actually be able to participate this month. Chicory's (kinda) been on my radar, and Black Mesa might be awkward without prior context within HL's world. Still would be open to try it.

Poem

KH seems like something that you had to Be There to get the most out of. Played KH2 Final Mix as a newcomer and was underwhelmed. The game world is insanely empty; (and if you know me, that's not a good thing in this case) just running around from one cardboard setpiece to another until the next floaty guy in leather broods your ear off. Writing is one thing, but the pacing is another. The dead air between dialogue is like a punchline. Has someone made a compilation of all the times a character stops to thank Sora, Donald, and Goofy--exclusively in that order? Finally, music is a huge factor in how much a game is able to immerse me despite whatever shortcomings--only figures that KH music doesn't appeal to me at all. I like Sanctuary and Hollow Bastion, though.

However, I did genuinely enjoy Birth by Sleep! Wouldn't know if that's a controversial line or not, but I guess I ultimately preferred its gameplay and writing. Music too, which came as a shock.

I think I like KH more in theory than in execution. If it read like the cartoon pilot, which wears its Disney half on its sleeve with strong, sincere character moments, (Goofy being a father figure to Sora stands out--that hasn't really happened in the games to my knowledge) I'd probably be a huge fan. Some parts of this ramble got away from me, but I do stand by it. Kingdom Hearts: a pretty cool idea maybe probably I think

I was wondering why I felt so detached from games this year, but if the bracket is anything to go by then the picture becomes much clearer. The overwhelming majority of these are really, really not my thing.
