__*The Music of* Grand Theft Auto V *Limited Edition Box Set*__ More than a year after Rockstar's last open-world blockbuster, *GTA V*'s undeniable score—as well as its in-game soundtrack—are available on six LPs. Drop the needle before you fire up the new Xbox One/PS4 "enhanced" version of the game.*—Peter Rubin*
Janky Clown Productions02HIGH-MAINTENANCE-3
__*High Maintenance*, Season 5__ Who knew that Ben Sinclair and Katja Blichfeld's web series about a Brooklyn weed dealer and his clients would become one of the most thoughtful portrayals of relationships around? Unlike the show's previous seasons, these three new episodes aren't free—but they’re worth it. *—Alessandra Ram*
HBO/Lacey Terrell03gettingon14-05
__*Getting On*__ If anything, HBO’s most underrated show is even sprightlier in its second season. And for a workplace comedy set in the extended-care unit of a fictitious California hospital, with patients who can barely get out of their beds, that's impressive. *—Jason Kehe*
Dark Horse Books0491FLZGrIETL.-SL1500-
__Nicholas Gurewitch, *The Perry Bible Fellowship Almanack*__ *The Perry Bible Fellowship* isn’t the kind of comic strip you’d want your kids to read in the Sunday paper—it’s sick and twisted, brimming with sexual references and schadenfreude, and side-splittingly funny. *—Samantha Oltman*
Konami05suikoden-2-pal-1-
__*Suikoden/Suikoden II*__ These classic PlayStation role-playing games (*Suikoden II* is considered one of the best games in the genre) have been out of print, and thus very expensive, since the 1990s. Now, though, you can finally play them through PlayStation Network on your PS3, PSP, or Vita---just not the PlayStation 4. *—Chris Kohler*

__Wes Stewart's Christmas Music Spotify Playlist__ I don't know who Wes Stewart is, but I've been following his Christmas music playlist since last holiday season. The only thing he's missing, IMO, is Maria, but that doesn't stop me from listening almost every day during this *most. wonderful time. of the year.* *—Joe Brown*
<a href=”http://readonlymemory.vg/sega-mega-drive-genesis-collected-works”>Read-Only Memory</a>07smdg-08
__*Sega Mega Drive/Genesis Collected Works*__ This gorgeous hardbound coffee-table book features a history of Sega's popular 16-bit gaming console, accompanied by in-depth original interviews with game designers. But the real draw is the pages upon pages of gorgeous, large-format color illustrations from Sega's archives. *—Chris Kohler*
Comedy Central08broad-city-season-1-dvd-cover-90
__*Broad City, Season 1*__ *Broad City* might be the best comedy of the year, and it’s undoubtedly the most rewatchable. Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer created something special this year: a rambling, absurd TV show with a fully realized world. *—Brendan Klinkenberg*
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Charlie-Brown-Christmas-Vince-Guaraldi/dp/B002Y1OAJU" target="_blank">Amazon</a>09914FASoRn2L.-SL1500-
__Vince Guaraldi Trio, *A Charlie Brown Christmas* LP__ One of my favorite Christmastime customs. The vinyl copy has been in my family since I was a child, so years of dust and fireplace ash have contributed to its pop and hiss, which I’ve never cleaned because I love how it simulates the sound of a crackling fire. *—Dylan Boelte*
<a href=”http://www.thethingquarterly.com/projects/thebook.html”>The Thing</a>10cover1
__*The Thing: The Book*__ Step your coffee table game up. A meta look at the book as an object, *The Thing* invited 30 artists to tackle a different aspect of bookmaking and get creative. Like all the best books, it’s tough to put down. *—Brendan Klinkenberg*
Josh Valcarcel/WIRED11compare
__*Dragon Age Inquisition*'s Character Creator__ There are so many options for customization in Bioware's gargantuan new RPG that it almost becomes a game unto itself: if you've got the time (and the patience), it's possible to create characters that actually resemble real people. Whether or not that's a good thing is still up for debate. *—Josh Valcarcel*
