Skyrim is always full of such random and interesting moments, as much as it has its bugs, it has never failed to entertain me. GTA V is also entertaining because there's always something to do especially in GTA online sessions.

Donkey Kong Country was a great game - probably the best Donkey Kong game of the bunch barring the Donkey Kong 64. I can think of much worse games on the SNES than that...
