Dave's Top Five(s)

[Dave]

Since I'm a little bit of a topic/post ****, I came up with another idea for a topic and it'll be fuelled by your great (****) ideas!

Basically, I'll take suggestions for things to rank in a top five. So, for example, you suggest I rank my favourite Foo Fighters songs, types of cakes, flavours of ice cream, TV shows, cartoon characters, or whatever.

And I'll do it whenever I like with pictures or videos or a couple sentences following.

Fun, yeah? Okay, throw me something.

methods of removing peoples skin while juggling piranhas with your feet.. has  fun making a top five and i am dead serious about that

[Dave]

5. Hiring a butcher. But that's the lazy way to do it, thus it comes at 5.
4. Using your super magical powers that you got through years of studying to be a witch. Flaying is an ability you only learn after going evil (yay, a Buffy reference!)
3. Using the piranhas. Durrrr.
2. Drink from the fountain of youth, and become immortal. All you have to do then is keep jugglings. Eventually, your target's skin will remove itself through decomposition.
1. Get some dick named Dom to nominate a shitty list that makes no sense. Anyone that sees it will surely flay themselves from the stupidity.


There you have it

WOW i am legit impressed eventhough i've put the piranhas first :3

This is mostly going to from sixth or seventh generation consoles, since I didn't do a lot of gaming prior to that.

Dave's Top Five Video Games

5. Pokemon Crystal
Still the best Pokemon game. Great selection of Pokemon, terrific replayability and having two regions to play was just awesome.

4. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Game of the Year Edition)
First game to really get me into RPGs, and for good reason. Morrowind was really an expansive world, the expansions were fantastic, and it was just addictive to the max. I can't count the hours I spent on developing characters, or abusing the enchantment system to make weapons that could make it look like one strike banished all your enemies to hell. It's a super fun experience, narrowly beating out it's successor, Oblivion.

3. Mass Effect 2
The first game was awesome, the second just made everything a lot smoother, put in some terrific characters, made some great changes to the gameplay and raised the production through the roof.

2. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
A little bit dated now, but SA is the best GTA game so far. Tons of awesome stuff to do, a nice big map, very solid story (even if it falls apart in the third quarter of the game), and just terrific gameplay. It makes me a little upset to see IV take a serious turn after the somewhat insanity of this game, and now Saints Row looks set to take the crazy sandbox game as its own.

1. Red Dead Redemption
The best story told in video games so far. An amazing open world that feels more alive that any other. Incredibly in appearances, a solid variety in things to do, and it's just an incredibly engaging world to step into. The expansion, "Undead Nightmare" just made everything even more awesome. This, so far, is the pinnacle of gaming for me.

When I saw the nomination for a sci-fi films list, I though "what are some great movies set in space?". Didn't really come up with any, so I took a different turn, and just went with some that have a lot of science fiction elements.

Dave's Top Five Sci-Fi Films

5. Inception
A lot of people have made a lot of jokes about this movie and its premise, but I legitimately found it very engaging. There's no problems with the direction or action of the film, the core concept is very intriguing if undoubtedly unrealistic. DiCaprio did some of his finest work in this film, too. It's just an enjoyable blockbuster sci-fi film, that makes the most of its slightly silly premise to be an amazing experience.

4. Moon
This low-budget movie takes place on the moon where it's protagonist, Sam Bell, is nearing the end of a three-year stay mining helium-3. I don't want to give it away, because this movie is a bit of a mindfuck in where the story goes, as Sam starts to experience a personal crisis, but it's really a terrific story. The director, Duncan Jones, recently released Source Code, which is another terrific sci-fi movie, but didn't make the cut.

3. Donnie Darko
Wait, how is this sci-fi? Yes, this is more of a psychological thriller than a sci-fi movie, but it definitely has its moments. For example, the entire plot relies on a time paradox, interdimensional travel, time travel, and so forth. It's a strange film, but ultimately a very satisfying one.

2. The Matrix
The sequels to The Matrix weren't really anything special, but The Matrix is just absolutely incredible, and I'm sure anyone who has seen it would agree. The concept of the Matrix itself was entirely fascinating, but the Wachowski brothers managers to craft an amazing universe from that idea, and the story is brilliantly told. Also, if you have a blu-ray player, do yourself a favour and pick it up on blu-ray - it's mindblowingly awesome. But, not quite as awesome as...

1. District 9
When I first saw this film, I really didn't know what to expect. It looked like a decent documentary styled film about a hypothetical alien arrival on Earth, and the first part of the film is definitely done in that style. It's a great style, used extremely well, but the film just shifts into another gear as it starts to truly tell its story, that of Wikus Van de Merwe (played by unknown actor Sharlto Copley, who since then has gone on to play Murdock in the 2010 remake of The A-Team) and his experience when he's infected by one of the aliens. Set in South Africa, this story is a great allegory for apartheid and other stuff, but the best thing about it is holy **** it's got some of the most awesome action sequences ever. That, and it's a smart movie. The blu-ray for this is also a treat. Go buy it. Now.

I love all the Top Games you chose except San Andreas, I regret to say that I've never played it before.

[Dave]

You should, I think its available on Games on Demand for like 800 or 1200 points.

[Dave]

I should do more of this but I'm feeling lazy and need better suggestions.

[BigDickJohnson]

I gave you some great ideas!
