Sci-Fi
 

What are your favourite examples of sci-fi media?

One of my personal favourites are the Mass Effect games. They do a great job in tricking you into thinking you're playing in an open ended universe, but it's fairly linear. Has a lot of interesting species, great characters and development, and the story has touched me on a personal level many times. Can't wait for the final game in the trilogy next year.

If I don't scrub my toilet after a few days, it gets pretty sci-fi.

Star Trek, man.

For games, the Mass Effect games are a favourite, definitely. Deus Ex and System Shock too.

I barely play any games now, but I enjoyed Startopia, the first Max Payne, Deus Ex and Freelancer.

how about sci-fi in media I despise?

despite they saying a lot of films are sci-fi, they aren't really - most are just space westerns or space operas (*kaff* *kaff* Star Wars *hack*)

those that are really "sci-fi" I can count on my fingers - 2001, Silent Running, the original Solaris, Blade Runner, Dark City, Gattacca

^ Good man for the Dark City shoutout. It's what you can only describe as a bizarrely overlooked movie.

Yeah, this is the closest I come to being a sci-fi fan myself, and even then I'm not exactly what you'd call a huge Trek fan. Love the first 6 movies (Motion Picture and Final Frontier included), most of the Next Generation, the 2009 movie was pretty cool I guess...that's about as far as I go.

As for games, I don't play them anymore.

Am really into Halo.

I like Sci-fi.

I like grunge (not just the music, but also the aesthetic: Grunge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , like running around in green and drab colors,)

The Space Marines of Halo combine both of these in my mind!

I actually enjoyed Spore, at least the Cell, Creature and Space stages. Tribal got a bit boring because it was so limited. The Civ stage was Ok too, just not as challenging to me as the rest.

well, I am getting Mass Effect 3 this weekend

Thirded. What a fantastic movie, but say it anyone, even some nerds and it's whaaaa? Needs to be better known than it is DO NOT remake it Hollywood! I'm warning ya! You can remake "Total recall" but do NOT touch a true cult classic or there will be blood!
