way to let the side down with that giant's lore snub

As much as I love it, I'd probably put five Spectre songs over it (everything except Traveler and Kyrie). #9 or #10 would be fair though (and they are my favorite band so that's still 11/10 can't stop cumming-tier for me).

EDIT: Actually I have an unpublished RYM list of all their songs ranked and I put it at #8 at the time, and I just listened to The Spectre Within recently so I might have a positive bias going on right now. Top 5 ain't happening though.
 
Only one I haven't seen there is The Gauntlet. How's it?

It's one of those movies that isn't much of a standout and you'll probably think it mediocre and a strange pick, but for some reason I've watched it a million times and will probably watch it a million more.

I just really like it, it has great pacing, a decent plot that isn't too out there but keeps your attention, it has Clint as the washed up cop type who isn't particularly bad ass or tough like usual.

Dunno, it just really works for me.

Favorite computer games:
  1. Starcraft 1
  2. Thief: The Dark Project
  3. Baldur's Gate
  4. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
  5. System Shock 2

Do you mean the series or the game? I think Baldur's Gate II is better in every way, though both are great games.

My top 5 stealth games:

1. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
2. Hitman: Blood Money
3. Commandos 2
4. Styx: Master of Shadows
5. Hitman: Silent Assassin
 
Manilla Road:

1. Necropolis
2. Crystal Logic
3. Astronomica
4. Veils of Negative Existence
5. War in Heaven
Suprised pretty much everyone has Crystal Logic in their top 5 songs, I actually think it is one of the more boring songs on the album?

Top 5 Manilla Road (this is pretty arbitary because I realised while making this list that they have so many songs that are on par with each other):

1. Astronomica
2. Flaming Metal System
3. The Ninth Wave
4. Necropolis
5. The Fall of Illiam

Favorite Nintendo console games:
  1. Solar Jetman
  2. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
  3. Doom 64
  4. Kirby's Adventure
  5. Banjo-Kazooie
Top 5 NES-games:

1. The Guardian Legend
2. Mega Man 2
3. The Goonies
4. Shadow Warrior
5. Deja Vu (must be in Swedish)

Bonus: The best N64 games is Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, underrated as fuck and really really awsome!
