MICHAEL CHE MATTERS
I saw this new comedy special on Netflix after being recommended it. It was the funniest 1 hour of my life that made fun of touchy political issues like race and homophobia. Never knew that stuff could be comedy gold.
BO BURNHAM: MAKE HAPPY
Yet again, another recommendation expect this time from a very good friend, Bo Burnham makes music comedy so funny one minute and then makes a sharp U-Turn to the serious, deep and depressing facts of reality that you'll think, god whiplash has never felt this good.
BLACK MIRROR
This show is dark and amazing and unique. Charlie Brooker is a visionary and each episode is so good and thought provoking because none of them are linked and they all bring new interesting technological concepts to the table and mash it with human's dark instincts.

RICK AND MORTY
THE ACCOUNTANT
Ben Affleck plays an autistic accountant who is also an assassin and super cool for his condition. Anna Kendrick, Jon Bernthal and JK Simmons also star. It's enough for me to have a good time.
This is the funniest animated TV show I've seen in a long time. I thought cartoon were a thing of my childhood that I'll only look back on, but this a more adult cartoon for the half smart half stupid. All episodes appear unlinked but beneath it's surface they turn out to have a narrative running throughout and smart references and even, philosophy.
it's always sunny in philidelphia
It's so wrong but oh so right. That same very good friend mentioned above on Make Happy showed me this and I'm so glad that person did. It's so offensive, so politically incorrect but the writing and chemistry of the actors always make this show amazing. There isn't a bad episode in this show, there's just ones that are a cut above the rest, a bit like Black Mirror except not depressing.
games
INSIDE
This game tells you nothing, helps you with nothing and just lets you find out the dark truth of this reality as you play a boy being hunted for reasons unknown that become more apparent as you keep running to the right of your screen. Best game of 2016 by far.
MAX PAYNE 3
Slow motion shooting and shoot-dodging, high and stylish production values, good old moody Max Payne and the dark conspiracy running through the whole game. Quality game and hasn't gotten enough praise for. Rockstar Games always delivers.
PORTAL 2
PORTALS PORTAL PORTALS. This game isn't easy, gotta be clever because it's a puzzle game with well written dialogue and humor that you also have to be clever to understand respect or else you can just laugh like a member of a sitcom audience.
LEFT 4 DEAD 2
Loads of zombies, loads of fun. Have snoop dogg as a zombie, have burgers as zombies, have zoidberg as zombies, have Terry Crews as a tank zombie, have SHIA LA BEOUF shouted when zombies come, and, have Shrek as a tank zombie. Do I have to say anything else?
