Your Top Three

[Melancthon]

Originally this was meant to be a "What are your three favorite video games?" topic, but I think I'm going to open it up.  What are your three favorite ANYTHING?  Please give some reasoning with your lists, and by all means feel free to rip on others for their bad taste.

Video Games:

FFT:  Vanilla has eaten up so many hours of my life that it's not even funny.  With the addition of 1.3, this game has been promoted to the BEST GAME EVER.  Challenge, replayability and customization put it at the top of the list.

Wizardry 8:  Again it's a case of customization and replay value.  Fourteen Classes and almost as many races combined with random monster and treasure spawns make this a game for the ages.  I've played this game innumerable times and I'm still finding new stuff.  Cemetery Reapers?  Axe of many Runes?  Who knew?

Grand Theft Auto:  San Andreas:  This game is HUGE and this game is HILARIOUS.  One of the best-written games I've ever played, and a ton of fun if you're just playing for fun or going for 100%.  Unlimited minigun ammo?  Yes please.

Authors:

China Mieville:  New Crobuzon is badass.  Some serious world-building here.  Humor and a touch of darkness make him essential reading.  Start with Perdido Street Station

Kurt Vonnegut:  A great blend of humor and philosophy.  Never has suicide been so funny.

Stephen King:  Say what you want about his contributions to society, the man is good at what he does.


So yeah, what are your favorite________?  Let's see some interesting stuff here.  Foods, Seasons, Sexual Positions, if you like them and there are at least three of them, let's see a list!

My top favorite games are:

1) Final Fantasy Tactics
2) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (IV was OK, but the handling sucked, and so do the cheats)
3) Either Kingdom Hearts, or Red Dead Redemption

My top favorite Seasons are:
1)Winter (I'm a hunter)
2)Fall (I like the mid 60's temperatures)
3)Summer (The hot are gets to extreme sometimes)

As for Sexual positions:
I'm not going to answer, because I am 15 in 14 days. XD

[Pickle Girl Fanboy]

Type of Women
1. Women with dark, subversive, self-depreciating sense of humor (see Bridget Jones' Diary - the scene where she talks about dying and being found half eaten by dogs is hilarious and sexy, in a totally inappropriate way).
2. Women who are so passionate about something that they continue to do it despite being discouraged to do it, like Juana Molina, a comedian who makes some amazing music.
3. Women who are much smarter than me, and who aren't afraid to correct me when I'm wrong.

Screw you and your list of threes, I have three more.
4. Women who are genuinely talented and dedicated to what they do.  Fairuza Balk.
5. Predatory older women, or predatory tall women who think I'm cute because I look much younger than I really am and I am a complete dork.

[Pickle Girl Fanboy]

I hate coconut.

[Draivyn]

I'll have to go with games

Baldurs Gate 2: Probably one of the most perfect games to me, containing an interesting story unique characters and an engrossing enough battle system

Final Fantasy Tactics: I've owned the game since 98 and keep on returning to it....so there has to be something pretty special about it.

Super Robot Wars Alpha: ....What can I say I like giant robots

[Miroshi Beshima]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) Paramore (as you can tell from my avatar)
2.) VersaEmerge
3.) The Scene Aesthetic

Games:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) Final Fantasy XII
2.) Xenosaga Series

1.) Spring (I love the mild temperature)
2.) Fall (Beautiful and also mild temperature)
3.) Summer (Just cuz I get out of school lol)

[Melancthon]

My three favorite beers:

Harpoon IPA.  Absolutely without a doubt the best beer I've ever had.  You know how sometimes your drinking beer, and then you have a different kind of beer and it doesn't taste as good?  Never happens with a 'Poon.

Newcastle (Draft):  Newcastle is a great beer, but when it's on tap it's one of the best.

Black and Tan:  Guinness floated on top of Bass.  Looks almost as good as it tastes.  You can make them with Harpoons instead of Bass too!

[Kaijyuu]

I give you my (constantly changing) top 10 favorite video games, to the total indifference of everyone:

1. FF6
2. FFT
3. Valkyrie Profile 1
4. Super Mario World
5. Chrono Trigger
6. Earthbound
7. MOTHER 3
8. Disgaea Hour of Darkness
9. Super Mario RPG
10. FF5

I rank them pretty much by how long of rant I could have about them. As I see it, the more I can say about a game's flaws and strengths, the better it drew me in... the more it made me care about it. Every one of those in the top 8 have at least one extreme flaw and one extreme strength.
