Yuri and Atrus? Good choices, sir!

Discworld!

TARDIS or Enterprise?

Has a pretty evocative, striking avatar.

Cider, vodka, and southern comfort with lemonade go down pretty well with me.

I SAW THAT! And recommended it to people over the last few months. Well done sir, I am well and truly envious.

Like Greywinter I can't narrow it down to one, but here are some that clammoured to the front of my mind loudest:

James Sunderland & Angela (Silent Hill 2) - Excellent protagonist for a journey into one man's personal hell, and a young woman who been in her own long before reaching Silent Hill...

Kane (Command & Conquer) - Beard of awesome, bald of Awesome, awesome rhetoric, badass awesome army of awesome etc

George Stobart (Broken Sword) - Can always raise a smile, especially due to Rolf Saxon's voiceover.

GLaDOS (Portal) - Need I say more, you monster?

They'd make pretty persistent (if misdirected) interrogators...'yes, but does Romana's regeneration count as just one or several, terrorist!?! Give the right answer or I use the claw again'

So were yours like fan-films, then? That sounds fun. I'd like to do something like that some time...or just find a way of stealing Nick Briggs' job and have done with it.

I've only recently started to take real notice of anime. The stuff I've seen is probably the really obvious stuff that everyone else has become bored of (the various iterations of Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Elfenlied, some of Miyazaki's stuff) but they've peaked my interest. Is there anything you guys would recommend?

I've been a Doctor Who fan ever since the first time I saw a Dalek (on the cover of the VHS of the Peter Cushing films when I was about 5-6). From that, to the classic series, the new series, to the Big Finish audio plays (listen to them)...I'm a massive fan (me and a mate from uni thought we were biggest Doctor Who nerds going till we met someone even more obsessed. That was...almost frightening, if anything). Also enjoyed Torchwood, especially Children of Earth.

I enjoy a bit of Star Trek, although I think it counts as a guilty pleasure when I say that Voyager was probably my favourite one...yes it was cheesey and silly (not necessarily bad things), but they met the Borg more often.

Watched Tarkovsky's version of Solaris one day whilst staying in bed one day feeling ill...it was marvelous, interestingly directed (glaciers move faster, but you have the time to soak up all the ideas), full of interesting ideas (I need to read the original book at some point). At some point I'd like to watch Stalker as well.

When it comes to books, I'm a fan of Ben Bova's 'grand tour' books, particularly Mars. He has this way of making so many of his ideas reasonable that when he springs the idea of the solar system teaming with life on you you just roll with it. I'm always disappointed when I finish one of his books, not because the story wasn't tied up (it was) but because I wanted to know what happened next to the *characters*.

And yeah, enjoyed the Deus Ex games, Bioshock was pretty good and I'm a fan of the Tiberium series within the Command & Conquer franchise (Kane Lives!)
