* [[Website/LiveJournal Fandom!Secrets]]

* ''Franchise/MetalGear'' from the meme [[MemeticMutation "Nanomachines, son!"]].Currently, I watch walkthroughs of the games in chronological order.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}''

* ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'': This show literally drove me insane just by watching it. It's pretty much Japan's answer to ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' except the former [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs must have had plenty of crack and acid passed around]] its [[Creator/StudioShaft production team]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Llanargollen}}''

* Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses

* Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses - first WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, then WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall and WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment.

* ''Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses''

* Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses

* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'' and ''Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses'' as well as, by association, ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' and ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment''. (Seeing the "final" battle on [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd Cinemassacre]] didn't have me very interested, Creator/TeamFourStar's addition got me a little curious, [[DisasterDominoes then I started going here and...]])

* Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses

* ''Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses''

* ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' (See above)

** I ''think'' [=TVTropes=] is also how I discovered the [=HPatMoR=]-inspired ''Fanfic/{{Luminosity}}'', which I really enjoyed despite having absolutely no respect for [[Literature/{{Twilight}} the source material]].

* Music/PrimalFear

* ''Webcomic/{{Collar 6}}''

* ''Webcomic/GastroPhobia''

* Manga/{{Girlfriends}}

* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''
* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''

* ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}''

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex''

* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}''
* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''

** LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya

* LightNovel/{{Durarara}}

* LightNovel/{{Baccano}}!

* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}''

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''

* LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya, obviously

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': I have seen this show as of this post, but I had stopped watching it a long while ago. It was very difficult for me to maintain my interest in it, especially among the more unique shows below.

* ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero''*: I didn't watch it for its [[ClicheStorm overly predictable plot]]. I watched it for its RomanticComedy. It's SoOkayItsAverage in my opinion.

* ''LightNovel/HarukaNogizakasSecret''*: This is a beautifully realistic and respectful portral of the {{Otaku}} sub-culture. The RomanticComedy aspect is also done very well.

* ''LightNovel/ScrappedPrincess'': Judging from the title, you may think this show is [[GirlShowGhetto perfect for little girls]], right? [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForLittleGirls Wrong]]! Just take a [[ApocalypseMaiden glimpse]] [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt of]] [[SternChase its]] [[WhiteAndGreyMorality premise]]. Oh, and there's a good bit of NightmareFuel to be found here too.

* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'': This show boils down to an AffectionateParody of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. There, go watch it...like, '''now'''!

** LightNovel/{{Baccano}} and {{LightNovel/Durarara}}

* LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya

* LightNovel/{{Baccano}}

* LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya

** ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' (which I was attracted to initially because of the wiki's comments about the ambiguous genre and snarky unreliable narrator. Most of the time, though, I’m just wondering what on earth I’m even watching.)

* ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}''

* VideoGame/EarthBound

* VideoGame/EarthBound

* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''*: This show scared me, a 22 year old man (now 23), into reminding himself what [[NightmareFuel fear and horror truly meant]]. The last thing that induced this feeling onto me was fighting [[VideoGame/{{EarthBound}} Giygas']] [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm true form]] for the first time at 16 years old.

* Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}: I'd never have thought a comic about [[HornyDevils succubi]] could warm my heart so much.

* ''TabbletopGame/Warhammer40000''

* ''Manga/SpiceAndWolf''

* Manga/SpiceAndWolf

** ''Machinima/CouriersMindRiseOfNewVegas''

* Literature/TheDamned

* Franchise/{{Star Trek}} (sort of, I had watched a few episodes as a kid, but this site got me really into it, especially the TNG era shows.)

* ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' I would never have discovered this hilariously bizarre series without Wiki/TvTropes.

* The ''[[{{Anime}} Anime genre]]'': Yes, Wiki/TVTropes introduced me to a whole genre.

* Wiki/SCPFoundation

Wiki/TvTropes got me into everything. Yes ''everything''. Before, I had no particular interests outside of a general love of cinema. A friend of mine showed me the site, I started looking up my favorite movies, and after a long WikiWalk later, I was hooked. Through [=TvTropes=], I got into Anime, Comics, numerous cult movies, Video Games outside of ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'', a lot of old cartoons I watched as a kid, and many original fan works from around the internet. Yes, [=TvTropes=] made me into the Geek I am today, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

On a side note, after finding out I had a friend who was also a troper, we have tried getting our other friends to be tropers too. Sadly, I'm the one who has Wiki/TVtropes addiction the worst (the friend only having one year of trope addiction to my three), and as of now, the others don't get it. [[GoMadFromTheRevelation They don't understand...]]

* ''Literature/TheQueensThief'' is a fantastic and rather obscure book series that I read some years ago and forgot all about until I stumbled upon the Wiki/TVTropes page for it, after which I immediately went out and purchased the series. I reread it three times in as many months, added a few tropes, and now I can’t quit writing fanfiction for it…

* Wiki/SCPFoundation - via the NightmareFuel page. Trust me, if you want to sleep anytime soon, don't start reading. You'll either be creeped out of your mind, or unable to stop reading the list (this happened to me, I even ended up writing a couple...)

* Literature/{{Discworld}}: I had heard of it before Wiki/TVTropes, though I dare say [=TVTropes=] was my incentive to start reading them. ''Literature/{{Hogfather}}'' was the last one I read, and with two more on the way in the near future, I better get back to catching up.
