My favorite "video game movie" is a movie that's built on core video game logic and style: Hundreds of Beavers! #GJAsks

It even mimics Metal Gear Solid's stealth mechanic! I think it could be turned into a great stealth or asymmetric multiplayer game.


The plot is basically the standard MMO quest loop of "Kill X creatures and bring me their pelts to get a better weapon." Our hero Jean Kayak has to kill beavers, get their pelts, and bring them back to the merchant in exchange for better and better weapons. He gears up over the course of the film and goes from struggling to kill a single beaver to taking out multiple a time.

What's most impressive is that in addition to being an odd love letter to the structure of video games, it ties it all together with the comedy of Looney Tunes and 1920s silent films.

Some of my favorite gaming easter eggs are when characters from one series appear in another series that has a totally different vibe.

Some of the earliest examples I remember is when Mortal Kombat characters appeared in Midway sports games. #GJAsks

Honestly, with all of the Star Wars stuff that's being added to Fortnite I'd love to see Kyle Katarn. #GJAsks

The Dark Forces games were are huge part of my Star Wars fandom so it would be cool to see stuff from it added (even though it's Legends now.)

A game I regret never finishing is GTA 5. I was on the last mission and then my Xbox 360 red ringed out of nowhere.

I really liked the game, but I've never felt like going back and replaying the whole thing just to officially beat it. #GJAsks
