Hitler vs Vader 3. Epic Rap Battles of History Season 3.

I know a few of you might also follow Extra Credits, but I wanted to slap this here with it's own topic to maybe lull around some discussion.

Extra Credits, Season 7, Episode 04 - Negative Possibility Space

Now be nice, I'm going to be honest and a little vulnerable for a minute, but this well illustrates why the storytelling in MxO left a bad taste in my mouth for many years, and has since then become something of a sore spot for me. The continual plot-within-a-plot rabbit holes with unresolved endings made for some fun metaintellectual sport at the time (oh but they could bring back this character/device/mcguffin because they weren't actually dead! etc.), but that continued lack resolution eventually left me worn out. And betrayed.

Once, when the Wachowski's left MxO's continued storytelling in pursuit of other projects, leaving countless stories unfinished. Then again, as the game was shut down, silencing both the unfinished stories of the storytellers, as well as many unfinished stories by the players. (Though I do think I like our end to MxO a lot better than the official one. )

I've recently found relief in the form of games like FC3: Blood Dragon and the last two Saints Row games; games in which I have zero intellectual investment in the storyline and can un-tense that part of my brain enough to enjoy the rest of the game.

Thoughts? What other games/movies/books/music/etc. have created a negative possibility space and have resolved it well/poorly?

RIP Tom Clancy

The idea of making single-digit controls anywhere near as accurate as a mouse seemed laughable to me at first, but now for some reason I really, really want to get my hands on one of those bad boys.
