** For that matter, the Sith Inquisitor series starts with him talking about how much he'd always wanted to play a Sith Sorcerer, even in a tabletop setting, and [[ForWantOfANail it never happened.]] Then SWTOR offered Sorcerers as an advanced class ''and'' the story was basically Sorcerer-centric for that class. For Chuck it was his gateway drug to other MMOs simply because in his own words, "it was a bait [he] was powerless to resist." While we've seen Chuck tackle personal favorites on the show before, this is probably the series that features him ''really'' [[NotSoAboveItAll getting into it the most.]] Hearing Chuck gush about what Sith Sorcerers are (admittedly before TOR, a fairly obscure piece of Legends canon outside of Palpatine), explaining how the story works with genuine enthusiasm, to just getting into the Roleplay side of things far more naturally than usual is very much a feel good moment. After all the times we've seen Chuck be a [[GrumpyOldMan cantankerous old bastard]] about even things he loves due to the show, watching him just for once go all in ''while'' giving legitimate criticism at the studios making the game, shows that yes, this story really IS near and dear to his heart.

* In the review of ''Series/RedDwarf: Back to Earth'', nostalgia movies and returns of old favourites are discussed at length, and the treatment they get falls definitely into the heart-warming category. SF Debris states that there are three types of nostalgia movies, and paradoxically, when he talks about movies of the third type, which are the most flawed of the three, the result is the pure heart-warmth:
