Media Exchange?

[Pumpkin]

The boyfriend and I are doing a few of these right now. I'm reading a book he recommended me and he's reading a book I recommended him. We're doing the same with a video game once we complete what we have going now.

So I was thinking this might be a fun activity for the forum? Basically you can pick a partner, or several, and do an exchange. Either books, movies, TV shows, video games, whatever else. You just have to make sure it's something the other person has access to or can easily get access to. Also try to be nice about it. Don't recommend something you thought was really bad to be mean and try to pick something the person will be able to tolerate. That doesn't mean give them something exactly to their tastes, because part of the point is to expose them to something new, but if you know they get queasy at blood, maybe don't recommend a gory show or movie.

So would anyone like to try this? There's a few ways we could execute it. Either people themselves can pick partners based on who is interested, or we could put some names in a hat and do a draw. I think it would be nice if we could do communication through this thread so people know what's going on and can give feedback on how they liked/disliked the thing and why.

So feedback welcome and sign ups are welcome. I think it would be a fun project to do!

EDIT

Sounds like fun. I'd be up for it. I've always been rather interested in finding 'hidden gems' in places I wouldn't think to look. It's how I got to know my current favorites after all.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

I might be down to play.

I think I'll start by charging myself and Scotty_FFgamer.

We shall both complete the games we gave each other (like, what?, two years ago?) to play by the end of summer? Eh? Howzat sound?

[Freya]

Sign me up! I'm always up for suggestions!

[Colonel Angus]

Sign me up, too, Pumpkin

[Shorty]

I would but my media backlog is already almost unmanageable D:

[Pumpkin]

Well we have 5 people, it's a start. Would you rather we pick partners or do a drawing?

Also, post which form(s) of media you would like to receive

[sharkythesharkdogg]

Scotty remains silent, and aloof.

[Fynn]

Sign me up as well! For now, I'm only taking movies, and maybe some TV shows. Will probably extend to books and games in the summer.

[Pumpkin]

Scotty remains silent, and aloof.

He's 2kool 4 u

Also, follow directions please and tell us what you want maybe

Uhhh, I just told you.

So, obviously a video game exchange. DUH.

I think he said something about not having the correct system to play the game I loaned him anymore, so maybe he can tell me what systems he has and I'll trade out that game for one of the games I have on a system he does own.

Then I'll finally finish playing Nier, because it was a good game, I'm just lazy and forgetful.

[Pumpkin]

But he isn't signed up

Don't make me e-break up with you

[Karifean]

Picking or drawing, either way's fine with me.

I'll go with any medium. Be it a book, movie, TV series, anime series, comic, game or visual novel. Doesn't matter to me.

[Freya]

I think music, movies, and shows would work best as those don't take nearly as much dedication and time as books but if someone wants to do a book thing, go ahead.

[Fynn]

So let's make a list maybe? I think it's more logical to randomly choose, unless so won't has someone specific they wanna pair off with. (You should really let it go, Sharky, though. He's just not that into you )
