You know what's great? Halo speedruns. It's incredible to see the tricks and skill on display here. Not only does Garish have to contend with the difficulty of Legendary, but also the random placement and nature of enemies in Halo, all while performing some pixel perfect tricks. Do you have a favorite game to watch speedrunners play?

If the skinned man catches you, he gets to keep your skin. That's real workout motivation right there.
Super Mario 64
Mario64 gets praise for its controls, but I feel like its use of 3D space to play with visuals is never talked about enough.

The two entrances to Tiny-Huge Island that mess with perspective, the portrait of Peach that changes based on your proximity to it. They were having FUN.
I will always remember the trippy moment running down that long hall into Tiny-Huge Island. Love the forced-perspective.

Here's a photo of Rad, all twisty as he wakes up from a nap. You might think that petting the belly is a bear trap, but it's not! He loves his belly rubs.
