Movies: Terminator 2 was my favourite film for years due to its amazing action, decent story and brilliant acting from Linda Hamilton especially. It was only recently pipped by Avengers Assemble (the UK got the better title as well IMO), mainly because if you had told me ten years ago a movie like that had existed, let alone been the third-highest grossing film EVER I would have laughed in your face! Other Superhero films that I love include the recent Dark Knight Trilogy, Dredd, Scott Pilgrim and X-Men 2. I'm also one of the few people that thinks the films for Lord of the Rings were better than the book. I'm a big fan of the original Star Wars Trilogy, especially Empire, and the Star Trek franchise, with the new one being amazing. I'm also a big horror fan, with Alien and Aliens being two of my favourites, but also pretty much any zombie movie you can find including The Romero films and [REC], as well as more cerebral stuff like the Orphan. I also like movies which are similar to the old style let's-just-have-fun filmmaking, like Kill Bill, Devil's Rejects, Planet Terror, Die Hard, and anything else by Rob Zombie.

Books: I don't read as often as I did in my youth, but my favourite novels include The Song of Ice and Fire series by George Martin, The Stand by Stephen King, Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, World War Z by Max Brooks, and Battle Royale by Koushun Takami. I tend to dislike the film adaptions once I've read the book though, or at least appreciate the book more. I tend to read a lot of comics though. Mainly the Superhero stories from Marvel and DC that I've been reading since I was a kid like Spider-Man, X-Men, Batman and Avengers, but also Sonic the Hedgehog by Archie and The Walking Dead.

TV: I wish I had more time to watch TV as there are some shows which interest me greatly like Dexter, Breaking Bad and Battlestar Galactica that I have never seen more than a few episodes of. As I said earlier I am a Trekker, with Deep Space Nine being my favourite due to its long, serialised story and flawed characters. My favourite things out right now are Game of Thrones and the Walking Dead, whereas some other TV shows I've liked are Futurama, Farscape, Roughnecks, Heroes (season 1 mainly) and Doctor Who. One of my most guilty pleasures is the Japanese SuperSentai (Power Rangers) shows, with the recent anniversary series Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger being my favourite.

Games: As you may have guessed from some of my blog posts I am a massive fan of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, mainly having never seen such a dystopic sci-fi/fantasy setting. Yes I do collect an army but I also read the novels and background. I'm also a big fan of the Dragon Age, Resident Evil, Half-Life, Portal, Fable, Dead Rising, Mortal Kombat, and Rage games.
