This post will consist of two top ten lists. The first list is my top ten animated movies/series, and the latter is my top ten video games of all time. This could be the nerdiest thing I've ever done, but no matter. Furthemore, I would like to thank ensatsuken for the inspiration I got from his 'Trailers/Promos' post.

Anyways, here are my top ten animated series/movies of all time, in the form of trailers:

#10

#09

#08

#07

#06

5.

4.

3.

2.

1.

Honourable mentions: The Lion King (this probably should have made it, but I don't know where it would go), Fushigi Yuugi, Basilisk.

Now, here are my top ten video games of all time. If I make anyone angry, just take note that I have missed out on a LOT of games.. some of which I'm sure you think should be on the list. For me, the hardest part is combining old cIassics like "Ocarina of Time" with new favourites like "Bioshock".

10/ - Chrono Cross

9/ Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

I'll add some commentary, for the top 3.

Halo 3? Pretty good..

Halo 2? Very good..

Halo?? CIassic. This game has given me hours and hours of fun. Whether I was playing with or against my friends, it was always a lot of fun. Even though I have played it many many times, it is always fresh, and always fun, even now. I can only think of two other games that are so replayable (look below).

I can go on and on about everything I love about this game, but unfortunately, my eyes wont be able to remain open for that long. I'll just keep it short. Bioshock is amazing. From the graphics, to the gameplay, to the story, to the way the game tells that story, to the incredible atmosphere.. this game just has it all, except for multiplayer. Fortunately, I don't really like multiplayer, so that aspect is of little to no importance. Anyways, I love this game.. it earns a place in my heart, and a place in my #2 spot.

To me, the purpose of playing any game is.. to have fun. If you asked me which game brought me the most fun, I would be able to quickly reply, "resident evil 4".. no questions asked. This is the game that made me interested in video games in the first place. After playing it at a friend's house for a little while, I went out and bought a gamecube for the sole purpose of playing this game. I've played it so many times that I've lost count, and I would love to play it again right now. I probably will soon. This is my Cowboy Bebop of video games.

Hey all,

As smart as I am, I found out that people aren't going to read my blogs if I don't add them as friends (D'OH).

Anyways, I've got lots of free time tonight since my girlfriend cancelled our date Instead, she's going out with her girlfriends. That's ok though... I hate shopping with the girls. Don't even start with me...But besides that, in the past weeks I haven't been on this site as much as usual....anyone know why? I would say...because of the lack of interesting topics on the animation boards/forums/whatever. Although, lately Frank has been on his A game, bringing some fresh ideas that I haven't seen in a while (if at all), so I'm definitely more interested as of now. I haven't watched any animated shows in months, so I guess the only reason I come on here anymore is because of the amazing people on this site. They have to be amazing if I'm still coming on here. All you amazing people... you know who you are .

Probably the most interesting thing I want to talk about though, is television shows as of recent years. There's probably a big reason that I'm forgetting, but I've been really sick of the reality/game shows that have been popping up all over the place. We've got reality shows coming from left right and center (at least in Canada)...and the game shows?

Who's that guy in the middle? :S

^^^^^Who's that guy in the middle? :S

Don't even start. We've got "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?", "Deal or No Deal", "1 vs 100", "The Moment of Truth", and so on. I mean, "Who wants to Be a Millionaire?" was fine and dandy at the time, but if I see another game show now, I'm gonna need some serious will power to stop myself from kicking the tv through the wall.

Hey all,

I just played with ensatsu-ken on XBOX LIVE and (even though he didn't have a microphone) it was a lot of fun. Anyways, if anyone else wants to play with/against me on LIVE you can just PM me, or leave your LIVE username in a comment if you don't mind others seeing.

As well, if anyone has any anime/animation recommendations for me (whether they are movies or tv series' ) just type it/them into your comment. So far I am really interested in:

Full Metal Alchemist

Eureka Seven

Okay first of all she is married to Daran Norris, who is the voice of Tasuki from Fushigi Yuugi. Ive got to give her extra points for that alone. Second, she voices Nuriko in Fushigi Yuugi, Julia in Cowboy Bebop, and stars in Ghost In The Shell:...

genremixer must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could genremixer possibly have for not rating a single film?
