Thinking back on it halo1,2, and 3 had its moments...
I remember gasping when I saw mc come out of cryo stasis and think"Wow im going to be him???".
I remember when we crash landed on the planet and was overwhelmed with about 10 dropships and thinking omg theres to many!
I also remember when the flood came out, I must say that scared the crap out of me(I was 10 when it came out I believe).
I also remember when I was racing to the longsword and coming so close to death.
(2)
I remembered when I saw the scarab and just was awestruck, especially when I was told to board it.
I remember when I was told to kill a prophet and saw thousands of ships warp in overhead.
I also remember gravemind....Damn that freaked me out.
I also remember fighting tartuarus and was awe inspired at the amount of elites helping but ****ed at his seemingly invinsible state.
(3)
I remember when this Happened.
I remember fighting with 2 of my friends whilst all being in tanks .
I remember trying to escape a failing ring with a warthog whilst the floor below me fell.
*****SPOILER******
I also remember this.
And this.
It was an amazing story.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Kevin J. Anderson's Saga of Seven Suns...
Agreed on that one, Also, Robert Jordan's Wheel of time.
Frank
Larry Niven
Heinlein
Asimov
Clarke
Oh and Terry Brooks is excellent, Especially liked his Running with the demon series.
Ian Irvine, George R.R. Martin and Joe Haldeman are also good stuff, Though far from my favorites. |

Favourite SciFi game - toss up between EVE, Alpha Centauri, and of course Elite
Favourite Sci Fi book - man thats a toughy though I'm going to have to go with Iain M Banks Excession simply because I kepe re-reading it so it must be :)
Favourite Series - Meah, I liked ST:Voyager, I think the underlying story was more engaging than the other series. But I've also loved the flawed new BSG and B5 as well.
Favourite Film - used to be Blade Runner but not so sure now, I do think Aliens takes some beating as a good sci fi romp, the hard sci fi story in the background is quite interesting I think.
Favourite Sci-Fi Anime : Battle of the Planets - man I loved that growing up, I was totally hooked!
Favourite Sci-Fi Blog : i09
Favourite piece of tat hanging around the house related to Sci Fi : - my little SF3D mechs that were imported from Japan (I have a ton of them in a box somewhere since they came as a huge retail pack, hehe) - some of them are engaged in battle on a nearby bookshelf

Books:
Where do I start. I'll say that I'm a David Weber fan. I also love alternate history.
TV/Film
Star Trek and Firefly/Serenity are my favs here. I didn't get into BG, though I wish I did. When fall semester starts, I'll find someone with the DVD set and watch it. Same with Stargate - I watched part of the movie, and was interested enough to want the series.
Games:
EVE is the obvious one. I guess a lot of my favorite games can be called sci-fi: Dawn of War, Half-Life 2, Portal... I'm pretty much an exclusive PC gamer.

I'm reading all the Culture novels by Iain M. Banks and so far I can really recommend them, best sci-fi I've read. I'm only at Use of Weapons at the moment, but I'm told that they just get better and better
They are kind of difficult though for a person that doesn't have English as a native language (like me). Had to re-read a few pages every once in a while, but I guess I'm learning thanks to that. :)

Hehe well I feel a bit better about it now ;P The hardest one so far is the one I'm reading now though (Use of Weapons). There's plenty of chapters where the main character's childhood etc is explained and it's difficult to keep up there tbh, partly because of the difficult language Banks uses but also because it's really boring from time to time :P I mean I'm halfway through the book and basically nothing exciting has happened

I'm suprised no one mentioned the greatest of them all, The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy! Great book(s), rather crappy film.
Other niceties are Clockwork Orange, Dark Star (as mentioned), and I kinda liked The War of the Worlds (both book and the rather newly produced film). Of course the EVE universe, and I'm a big fan of WH40K
