"Hell is cold. Do you remember when you told me that? We were in the cellars of the Dark House. Anyone else would have been panicking, but you were as calm as a governess, telling me Hell was covered in ice. If it is the fire of Heaven that takes you from me, what a cruel irony that would be."

Limbo had some great puzzles and the style was done really well, but Inside's atmosphere and visuals were simply stunning. Inside's sound effects (and music) where also amazing, especially the classic pulse section and all the underwater parts.

They actually found him because they managed to track a mobile deadzone going down the highway.

Notes:
It will NOT go to mars, it will go to Mars's orbit around the sun to prove it can get that far and survive. They don't want to risk contaminating the planet and who doesn't want a car orbiting the sun?
There is NOT a person inside the space suit (officially) but it is an actual, fully functional Space X IVA suit.
Of the entire rocket, only the bulbous part on the head will actually travel to mars. The rest of the rocket will return in an attempt to be reused. Even the fairings (the cover wich make up the bulbous part with the payload (car) inside) will fall back to earth and Space X hopes to eventually be able to catch them for reuse.
The battery in the Tesla is expected to last ~12 hours after launch, during which time it will be playing David Bowie at full blast, silently into the abyss.

In conclusion (so far):
Launch successful, minimal damage to landing pad on takeoff.
Pad ready to use in mere days/weeks.
Falcon 9 side boosters decoupling successful.
Side boosters duel landing successful, both survived with minimal/no damage @ t+8:07
Falcon Heavy central core decoupling successful
Falcon Heavy central core failed to fire 2/3 boosters, attempted landing on drone ship Of Course I Still Love You at 600 miles per hour, near miss, crashed into ocean with about the results you'd expect. Drone ship cameras cut out before landing was visible, waiting for drone ship recovery to see if cameras survived with footage.
Fairing decoupling successful.
First burn of payload successful, in stable orbit doing tests to prove something to the military.
Second (I think it was second, there might have been some in between) burn successful, on route to mars orbit where it is expected to stay for 1 billion+ years.
