    Also, if you'd like to do a shorter selection, allow me to also recommend The Soldier Son Trilogy, also by Robin Hobb.

    I'm all about co-op games:

    I'm a huge fan of deck-building games, so in addition to the previous mentions of Dominion, I would like to add Arkham Horror LCG, as well as virtually anything in the Legendary series from Upper Deck. While I have EVERYTHING Marvel, they also made one-offs like Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Big Trouble in Little China, and even full spin-offs like 007.

    You may also enjoy the 'Horrified' games, and there are three now: Universal Monsters (the old 1930's movie ones), American Monsters, and Greek Monsters. More of a traditional co-op game in the vein of Pandemic, where each player gets a turn followed by the 'game' getting a turn to strike back.

    In either situation, you do not have to collect or buy all of the games (unless you get it into them). You can pick and choose from what you like.

    As a fan of the channel, this is one where the title is inadvertently click-baity. The channel first did one of these on 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation,' detailing how all of the deleted scenes being incorporated would have created a different movie, not just one that was longer or a bit better, worse, etc. This has kind of become the theme behind this title, as they cover movies like 'The Goonies,' 'Home Alone,' and 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles,' the latter of the three being my favorite (and even ended up getting a new release with 70 minutes of bonus footage).

    I'm glad to know you enjoyed the video, and would encourage you to check out the rest of these!

    Regarding Gran Tursimo, I saw it last week with my youngest daughter (11) who--to my surprise--asked me to see it. I explained what it was about to make sure since she's fickle about movies, and off we went. I found it to be a video game-based version of 'Days of Thunder'. Should that peak your interest, then I'd say give it a whirl on day like today. Otherwise, wait for streaming to check it out at all.

    I mention this knowing that the worst kind of vice is advice, especially the unsolicited kind...hahaha! Enjoy your viewing!
