Book - I am not that well rounded when it comes to my own list of what I have read. Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth has always been highly regarded from what I have read though. He is sort of predictable in a lot of ways in his writing style but what I love is his sort of high moral standing for his main characters. When you really reflect on his characters they are unrealistic in a lot of ways but a good goal of what to strive for as an individual. His early works are in my mind arguably better than his later works where he sort of tries branching away from being fantasy but I still really like his work. I found his later works to be far more predictable as well which is sort of unfortunate. My favorite of his books is probably Faith of the Fallen as I really loved the portrayal of Richard carving his statue.
Film - grave of the fireflies is probably one of the most emotional films I have ever watched. I have seen a fair number of tragedy films in my life but when you watch children reliving essentially what did happen on their own its really sad. Its probably one of the few films I have ever cried after watching.
Music - I have a much harder time with to be honest. I have a hard time getting into it a lot of times. Occasionally I like classical music, jazz, and blues but my everyday listen tends to be sort of rock based. Good music tends to be good regardless of classification tends to be my opinion but I dont have any specific piece that I can name that has really moved me.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
Regardless, my favorite story isn't even a published work - it's a web-serial called Worm. It has the best characters, plot, setting, and worldbuilding of any story I've ever read. I've never felt so empty inside after finishing a story, knowing that it's done, not even when I finished the 7th Harry Potter book. It's a couple million words long, so even the speediest of readers will struggle to read it in under a week.
I just finished Worm on your recommendation and it was amazing. I'd say it was one of the best things I've ever read. It gets a little complicated towards the end but that's all the beef I really have with it.

That's great. It has its ups and downs for sure, since it is so long. The author was still getting the feel of the story in the beginning (I was told that the original drafts of the story actually featured Faultline as the main character), and towards the end, he just wanted it to be over. I really hope that something more comes from the story, more than just the pen & paper rpg and halfassed fanfics.
I would have to say Soldier, Ask Not or Path of the Fury are my favorite novel stories. Soldier, Ask Not was a book I read because a friend of mine wanted me to as I had said I was growing tired of sci-fi war novels. Upon reading the title I figured it would be another "Soldier does bad thing and is in shambles for it", but was pleasantly surprised when it was actually a story of a news reporter and how public opinion can be changed by those who control media.
Path of the Fury, on the other hand, gave me one of my first role models. It was a difficult time for me, and so reading a revenge driven plot where the main character starts to question if she's doing the right thing was calming.
Also, the Lost Legion trilogy of books was great fun.

Oath of the Gatewatch; the set that caused the competitive community to freak out over Basic Lands.
The Metal Gear Solid saga. It fuses historical and geopolitical contexts with sci-fi/futuristic concepts that affected the cold war and subsequent development between the world powers in the post war era. (Except for Rising Revengeance - that game was just odd)
Books: I do love my books, and my favorite series has to be the Pern novels by Anne McCaffery. Never have a read about a world so well fleshed out. These books stole my childhood, and I am still hunting for a few of the books. Re-reading them as an adult has only made these books even better in my eyes.
Movies: I love Malcolm McDowell, and putting him in a movie directed by Stanley Kubrick was pure genius. The best cinematic experience I've ever had.
TV: This one is pretty hard for me, but I'm going to go with Archer. I've laughed way to hard at some stupid things, but I can't help but love this show.
Music: This is pretty tough, but I'm going to have to go with the band Tool. I don't remember much of my teenage years, but I do remember listening to a lot of Tool, with some NIN, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and some Hendrix/Cream sprinkled though out. But Tool was the dominate band in that time period.
Here is the summary of the book: In the novel, renegade biotechnologist Vergil Ulam creates simple biological computers based on his own lymphocytes. Faced with orders from his nervous employer to destroy his work, he injects them into his own body, intending to smuggle the 'noocytes' (as he calls them) out of the company and work on them elsewhere. Inside Ulam's body, the noocytes multiply and evolve rapidly, altering their own genetic material
and quickly becoming self-aware.
I think it is because
is that it is told from the perspective of the bacteria
I am trying to get better at making decks. I have had trouble creating more competitive decks as I only really build with the cards I have. I dont have that many value cards, in function or expense. I (almost) never play at FNM type events so its not like im playing against $2k decks. If I do usally play at one, Its a draft or limited game. Any advice on building decks is greatly supported! DMs are appreciated.
Thank you!
To put it more simply, it's like saying, "I can prove Jesus is real and loves you. See? Here's my Hispanic friend Jesus. He's had a crush on you for a long time. Tell em' Jesus."
Here's a joke! Whats the internal temperature of a Taun-Taun?
