Testing...
I like that Suaron's biggest threat was internal. His forces were powerful and scary, sure, but his two major foreign campaigns were unmitigated disasters. His power was always strongest in the heart. The rest of the things that differentiate Tolkien from his imitators doesn't particularly interest me.
I like it when Silent Hill gives manifests horrors tailored to the subconscious of the observer, but I don't like it when they are overly simplistic or allegorical with it.
I like the black goo as a magic tool of creation and destruction that did not seem to be under the control of even those giant white guys in Prometheus. I really like the idea of someone getting hold of something they don't understand and having it defy their expectations in horrible ways while trying to conform to their horrible expectations.
I like that Amon and Tarlock were not the same guy, In fact, I liked Amon right up until the last episode and then I hated him. I don't like that Amon was a huckster and a blood bender. I wanted to see more of the things that justified the Equalists' popularity and support.
I like that the Ash Lake in Dark Souls implied that there were other worlds than the one you moved about in, and that Ash Lake itself was something of a backstage area.
I like the difference between what Dragon's Dogma showed you and told you - that the Duke's depression had manifested in the crumbling of the duchy and the return of the dragon, that he might have been a pawn (an ageless human simulacrum without [much] will) masquerading as human, or some human/pawn hybrid, and that everything that everyone kept telling me about how he was a hero and a great ruler doing all he could to rebuild and strengthen the land was belied by everything else - the ruins, the monsters, the banditry, the fact that he acts like he's afraid of you, the fact that the young Duchess wants in your hosen the moment she sees you, regardless of your gender or age or anything...
Hm.
