Watchmen. My favourite Alan Moore work after that is From Hell, followed by V and then his run on Swamp Thing. League was so-so for me.

EDIT: and all of the films based on Moore books didn't work, IMO. Which isn't surprising. Comics are a medium of their own. Works like Watchmen (which showcase what can be done in the medium) obviously aren't going to translate into film easily.

Hey, so, I'm looking for a PC game in which the emphasis is on story (although, it obviously has to have good gameplay too:P ). I'm pretty new to PC gaming (the only games I've played are Fallout 1 - 3 and Bioshock) so pretty much anything goes. I don't even mind seeking out older games so long as they will run on my PC

Windows Vista/processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+/2.71 GHz/memory: 3.0 GB ram/video card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT

I'm thinking of maybe getting Oblivion or Mass Effect...

but please give me some suggestions.

Thanks!

Blade Runner followed by 2001. But it was a close call.

why?

I buy used games from sellers on amazon all the time. As long as the seller has a good rating you should be fine...

HOWEVER, I have had a few problems with buying gameboy games. In several instances I've bought GBA carts only to find that the save function in the game won't work (i.e., you save the game, turn it off, then on again - only to find the game you just saved has erased itself). I think this is a problem for a lot of old gameboy carts. This happened when I bought Aria of Sorrow as well as another GBA game I can't remember right now. I'm guessing very few sellers check the save functions on the used games they sell.

This most likely won't be a problem, but it's just something to look out for.

I'm going to say Star Wars, but I don't know why they always get compared to each other. It's debatable that the Star Wars movies are even sci-fi.

Could you make your arguement for that please?

Well first of all, I think people need to learn what science fiction actually is (not referring to anyone here btw, just speaking generally :P ) Space and technology don't necessarily make something sci-fi. Science Fiction is generally preoccupied with scientific fact or possibilities - which Star Wars isn't. Star Wars is basically fantasy in a space setting. A lot of Star Wars fans consider the movies fantasy movies. I mean the beginiing: "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." is pretty indictaive of a fantasy setting. And, come on, Queens, Knights, Emperors, Lords? Good vs Evil? Replace the lightsabers with swords and you have the basic elements for any fantasy story. It could easily be set in Middle Earth.;) In fact, George Lucas himself said it definitely wasn't sci-fi and has repeatedly called them fantasy films.

Although I'd argue there are elements of both sci-fi and fantasy (plus a wealth of other influences), but like I said - it's debatable.

Yeah, it sucks. But, as mentioned, it's nowhere near as bad as Batman & Robin. I don't think any of the films have really come as close to replicating the style of the comics as Batman: The Animated series did.

Bill Callahan -Sometimes I Wish We were an Eagle (best album of the year so far, IMO)

Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest

Jeffrey Lewis & the Junkyard - 'Em Are I

Woods - Songs of Shame

Cymbals Eat Guitars - Why There Are Mountains

Tim Hecker - An Imaginary Country

I need to listen to Bitte Orca some more, but it's probably up there too.

Merriweather Post Pavillion is good, but probably wouldn't make my list. One of Animal Collective's weakest releases I'd say.
