Ever watched a movie/series, played a game or read a book that left you numb?
One of those books you can't stop reading, one of those moives/series you watch (including re-runs) every time, one of those games that keep you up the whole night....
And when you come to the end... you feel empty...numb...Like a piece of you is gone forever..like a dear friend died....
You feel happy becoause of the great ending but sad in the same time, coause you know - it's over....
One part of you wants a sequel, another one prays it never comes out, for it cannot be better, it cannot bring anything into the stroryline - it can only ruin it....
For me, such thing are:
-----
games: Baldurs Gate 1&2, Freespace 1&2, Outcast, KOTOR,....
Series: Vision of Escaflowne, Macross Saga, ST:TNG,...
Movies: LOTR & (mind-blank..will fill in later)

-
Fight Club, Freespace 2, Red Faction, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Monkey Island.
and maybe some more, if I think of them...

The first one that comes to mind is Derelict... :yes:

I'm reading one of those types of books right now, it's called "For More Than Glory"... Oh and I read one of Volitions stories called... Oh CRAP just tried to find it and the Interplay website is down!!! :(. But it was a VERY good freespace story.

Oh come on, the ending was such a let down. They keep building up the mystery and grandeur, and all you get is a small surprise.

I liked it.
-
Hordes of the Underdark, Penultima, elegia eternum, and excrucio eternum modules for NWN (all by the same dude), Link's Awakening, FS2, Deus Ex, LotR movies
um... that's it
-
Games... probably some of the old WC stuff, like Privateer.
Movies... Star Trek, especially the last 4 TOS movies.
TV... Sentinel and Babylon 5
Music... Buffet, "Leader of the Band" by Dan Fogelberg, "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning" by Alan Jackson, "The Dance" and "Belleau Wood" by Garth Brooks.
All of those songs get my attention and leave me with a feeling. Not always the same one, but there's a lot of emotion in those songs. And the artists are good enough to let it come shining through.

Book: Diamond Dogs (Alastair Reynolds)
