Top 10 Favorite Video Games.

I am not much of a gamer but I do and did dabble in them from time to time. Some I like for the puzzles, atmosphere, story and mostly of course the gameplay.

1 Kickle Cubicle (an amazing old-school nintendo puzzle game very rare but my all time favorite where you play as a little man who freezes monsters in realms of food to get across a variety of traps and levels) (Yes I've beaten it several times)





2 American McGee's "Alice"





3 Myst (A beautifully complex puzzle game with great music)





4 Nightmare Creatures (A fun little horror game)






5 Columns (*addictive*)



6 Ocarina of Time (Yes voted by many sources the 1# game of all time I know)





7 Super Mario 64





8 Sonic 2






9 Legacy of Kain : Soul Reaver





10 Doom 2



Spiritual and Meditative Films


These are the type 10 movies I find that have some of the most spiritual or meditative experiences while watching or perhaps films you can just eat some shrooms and watch and have a spiritual breakthrough, but these films reach for the spiritual moments in humanity. (In no particular order)  

1 The Holy Mountain (Produced by John Lennon*) 

2 Koyanisquatsi

3 Altered States




4 Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (I find something spiritual in it, I guess the journey of life is wild and tacky and filed with fun characters that weave in an out in strange ways) 




5 Begotten (Can be described as a necessary really, really, bad trip) 



6 Jacob's Ladder


7 Groundhog Day (Whole things have been written about the Buddhist significance of this film) 


8 Cloud Atlas (Find my "Cloud Atlas" review on this blog*) 


9 2001 A Space Odyssey










10 The Fountain 








*Runner Up* (It is rather long winded a little on the nose stylistically but when I saw it in theaters it was a shorter version.)
