I think I got one...

Gurren Lagann > Video Game > List of Video Games > List of Grand Theft Auto clones > Open world > Category:Open world video games > Minecraft

Thats 6 right???

If I got it right, I pick a link in the Minecraft page, and then post that, for example...

Dwarf Fortress.

From there I pick something else, random or by finding a path myself??? In this case I will go with something I found myself...

Ben Jonson

If this is wrong Sorry, not 100% sure...
