Video game-wise would be:

• Red Dead Revolver for the Xbox

Other Stuff:

• Karen Traviss' Republic Commando novels are pretty good if you can get past all the Jedi bashing

There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

What's a good MP 3/ Portable media player to have? I want something that uses a drag and drop format for it's files, and a price range of $200 - $300.

I currently have an 8 gig Sony Walkman. It's done fine, but i wish i could put more movies on it.

Good sci-fiction something like Doctor Who but in novel form not too dark but dark still.

Craving three things in a game right now: Something cutesy, something with a female protagonist, and something with good character customization. I don't require all three, but it at least needs a female character to play as and one of the other two.

I tend to gravitate towards RPGs (preferably not turn-based) and MMORPGs at the moment. That said, it's not really a must.

Currently, Guild Wars and The Sims 3 have my attention, but I have my reservations for both of them.

I'm unsure about The Sims 3 due to the focus on costly expansion packs, some complaints I heard about a lack of content and trouble modding, and some complaints I've heard about the facial sliders not being particularly good.

I'm unsure about Guild Wars because it's obviously not cutesy, I've heard bad things about the community, and the customization is pretty bare-bones.

Other games that have piqued my curiosity are Atelier Rorona and Phantasy Star Portable 2, but both won't be out until September.

I have all the current and last generation systems, as well as a good computer, so that's not a problem.

What Sherlock Holmes films/TV series are good? Preferably ones not based on books. I've only seen the RDJ one and heard of the new BBC one.

Also, which is the best of the Hound of the Baskervilles adaptations?

@Miijhal: I hear that the Dept Heaven games are pretty good... Try to play at least one of them. You should like Iji and Touhou as well, and Persona 3 Portable is fine, too.

Last Defense Line.

Searching for something (any medium) that has a post-apocalyptic, mysterious and somewhat nihilist atmosphere. Examples of the kind of stuff I seek include MD Geist, You Are Empty and, uh, Arrival in Hell  ^*

.

What about Twelve Thirteen?

Thanks for giving away the ending, ass.

d/led it, but there's an error saying my computer can't support the resolution. Anytihng else?

The game was made in Adventure Game Studio, and games made in that usually have a setup utility packed with them. Use that to set a different resolution, and try it in windowed mode.

Most definitely give the modernised BBC series (Sherlock) a try. That's the only Sherlock Holmes adaptation I personally have been able to get into. The setting update is well-done and puts a fresh spin on the whole thing, and the episodes aren't directly based on the stories, they're more like composites with familiar elements mixed with new. And both lead actors are very good. I am gushing, but I really enjoyed it.

Craving a fantasy-horror comic book like The Sandman. Preferably an older one. Any suggestions?

^ I liked that very much, thanks!

If you like Douglas Adams, the Dirk Gently series has some similarities to DW. Chronotis is a TIME LORD and the--

A few aliens, too. Not very dark, sorry, but funny.

^Thanks man been awhile since I asked.

A good comic book with a supernatural theme?

Glowsquid: Not entirely post-apocalyptic, but try the STALKER series.0

Depends on what you mean by Supernatural. But if you’ve read The Sandman (if memory serves, you have) and enjoyed it, I’d suggest the other DC titles such as Hellblazer (and some of the old Swamp Thing stuff that first had John in it), Lucifer, and The Books Of Magic.

What little I’ve read of the Hellboy series seems promising.

Also, there’s Doctor Fate and Doctor Strange, but I must admit I haven’t followed either series.

Justice is a joy to the godly, but it terrifies evildoers.Proverbs21:15 FimFiction account.

^Never ended up finishing though... sounds good.

Fiction in general with the following themes:

• Solitary figure, be it Loners Are Freaks or All of the Other Reindeer facing impossible odds headlong. Can be mundane or can be supernatural/fantastic.
• Main character is morally ambiguous, and perhaps very mentally unstable.

@Schtiz: for the second one, Kara No Kyoukai is a pretty good one, if a bit convoluted. For the first, nothing comes to mind.

Is there anything you people would like to recommend to me?

@ Schitzo: Have you read Ted Chiang's short story Understand?

Anything else?

@ Spooky: I highly recommend the Splatterhouse games.
