There was a PC game that was installed with Windows Me and it was like space invaders but all the different levels had different enemies and patterns, and you could choose out of dozens of your ship's shape (but has same function). It was both controllable with mouse and keyboard, and the background was in outer space. I still remember it as a fun game, and I would still play it, only thing is that I can't find it anywhere. (I would really appreciate if anyone has a slightest clue of what this game might be and tell me.) The other game also came as a free disc and a guidebook, can't remember where I got those. It was a RTS game in a gothic setting. Basically it was a fight between human race and other monsterous creatures. What I specifically remember is the vivid pencil drawing of a Ghoul in the guidebook. It was scary but awesome. I don't remember it having a deep gameplay and didn't go any further than few minutes, but I wonder what that game's name was.

I want to get into classical music, but it's too overwhelming to even start. I need some essential albums list that can help me please. (like synthwave essentials list or death metal essentials list.) It would help if it's in an album format. (don't just name the writer and the piece.) I'd also prefer it being recorded in the 50s - 80s, but that's just my peculiar taste, probably you can ignore that if you want. Just give me something to start with. So far, I like Antonio Vivaldi - The Seasons (Chamber Orchestra of the Leningrad State Philharmonic, violin Mikhail Vaiman, artistic director - Lev Shinder) 1976 and Igor Oistrakh plays Paganini 1975. I'd prefer to start from the most popular and easy listening songs. (like what Master of Puppets is to thrash metal recommendation list) So, in short, A list of essential classical music albums. Early recorded ones are better for me. (especially if it's available in vinyl). Beginner level. Any suggestions?

It was a surprisingly solid and awesome, entertaining show. Every character was great and the story was interesting. What was a surprise and a slight letdown was Hawkgirl at the finale of season 2. She was my favorite character of all the league members and the show sacrificed her for the sake of drama, similar to how The Walking Dead sacrifices the characters to provoke intense emotions (in a wrong way). It isn't a bad thing, but if the show doesn't pull off a great story about this later on in Justice League Unlimitted, I will be disappointed. Season 2 finale was a good story on it's own, but I can already see the limits. Now I will never get the Hawkgirl that I thought she was. I mean, as soon as her and Green Lantern are together, then just at the next episode? We also got to know more about her at the holiday episode. I feel betrayed as well as the characters in the show. It also came out of nowhere. And the worst part is that they removed the mask. She had the awesome Devil Man look and her eyes looked so ironically cute in there. Now she's all tragic conflicted traitor. I was tricked and fooled to believe a certain character to be a certain way and be attached to it. It isn't a good tool for storytelling just like The Walking Dead saying "You should be shocked and hopeless like the characters in the story." Hawkgirl was a very simple character, but I liked it that way. Now everybody has a complicated backstory. But still, 8.5/10
