    Mythic Quest is an awesome show! So funny, with a great cast, and has heart.

    The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, the animated Netflix movie. It stands on its own and fills in a lot of backstory on Vesemir for Witcher 3 players like me who haven't played the [other] games or read any novels.

    edit: fixed sentence and added "other".

    Overlord was pretty crap, it started out okay but a took turn into stupidity pretty quick.

    Not sure why it made this list tbh cause it certainly doesn't deserve to be on it.

    Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.

    I'd say the It's Always Sunny episode "Charlie Rules the World" is worth watching as well.

    I can't believe they mentioned .Hack//Sign. It is one of dullest, slow paced animes you will ever watch. Literally over half the anime are characters standing around town talking about what they have done or what they want to do.

    Fantastic list. Some I have to check out. Thanks a bunch.

    I believe only one of these is a British production and you have releveled why I watch so few of our shows these days. Dead Pixels is the only one of these where gamming social issues are mentioned as a focus of the show. It sometimes feels you can't make a TV program or film in the UK without "issues" or some sort or another being addressed. I just get fed up with the lecturing and switch off.

    None of these are the best of anything.

    Yeah, Log Horizon would have been a much superior recommendation.

    Log Horizon is good. I liked that anime.

    i remember watching .hack/sign when I was a 10 when it first came out. Loved it whenever i got a chance to catch it on tv which was rare. Always wanted a real life vrmmo like that. Technology as been ass as of late same rehashed bs

    Best series turned into a video game
    Avatar Last Air Bender Animated Series - I thought this was a great series (and not the new series or movie ugg)

    As far as movies about games, not gonna say these are awesome but I think they were decent.

    So I guess I will pick
    Wargames
    Tron - its a very dated but was decent in its time.
    Gran Turismo
