Pieces of media that changed you?
Version:
What is the piece of media that changed you the most?
For me it's Ace Attorney. While there are a couple, more serious, books that changed my worldview, I can't think of anything else that changed me as much as that series.
I mentioned before in my introduction that my main interests are narrative games and murder mysteries, and Ace Attorney is the game that introduced me to both. I even remember thinking that the premise was stupid when I was 10, and downloading it as a joke.
This game pretty much set a chain reaction that made me into who I am today, as silly as that may sound. Both in my tastes and what I want to create.
Did anyone else have a similar experience?

This is a hard question if I have to choose... Either way I gotta do some thinking on it.
On another bote, I've always had my eye on ace attorney but never got around to playing it. This might push me into trying it out finally!

For me, it probably goes back to high school when I was introduced to the band AFI. That was my first taste of the horror punk genre and subsequently got me into bands like The Misfits and White Zombie, the stories of H. P. Lovecraft, body and cosmic horror films like The Thing and Hellraiser, and in general opened me up to media outside of the mainstream.

I'm a massive Pink Floyd fan and I could consider their music in general as something that was very formative to me, but their album The Wall (but more specifically, the movie) that's had the biggest impact on me. I first started listening to them when I was about twelve years old and when I told my dad about it, he offered to watch the film version with me. As a kid who had a mostly conventional film taste up until that point, it was like nothing I'd ever seen before. It was one of my first exposures to surrealism and psychologically-driven stories and it's responsible for my love of trippy/disturbing media. It still resonates with me now for its themes of isolation and trauma and for that, I'll always consider it my favorite movie.

For me, this is the book Bobby Pendragon 9: Raven Rise. The story in the book is so well done that I was basically seduced in a fictional cult until the end of the story. It really show the power fiction can have.
