help me with my learnings

[fanbeatsman]

Firstly, massive apologies for how long it's taken me to get back to comments recently - daftly, I've been starting conversations requiring a lot of attention and mental energy while mired in the exhausting process of writing and editing a particularly bastardly article (should be done by the end of tomorrow, though, woo!). I've really appreciated

Major fictional universes that span media... the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

[fanbeatsman]

Ooh, yes! Can't believe that didn't occur to me; thank you. And while I have read one (possibly two?) of the books, I think that probably counts as limited enough contact with it to come to it with reasonably fresh eyes.

The different versions of it are very different, it is worth noting! I am still mostly a sucker for the radio series, however. :)

I'd really encourage you to play the text adventure version if you go with Hitchhiker's! I'd say interactive fiction is a very overlooked medium.

Unfortunately I'm coming up blank for other suggestions, but I'll think about it.

Yeah the text adventure version is great! You can play it here:

Also they did the 1980s TV adaptation which totally pwns the new film with its retro crappy goodness XD
