* Looking Glass Studios and [[VideoGame/{{Thief}} related]] [[VideoGame/SystemShock products]], as well as just about anything its ex-staff members go on to make that doesn't require clicky plastic guitars.

* And ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}''.

* ''VideoGame/{{DmC Devil May Cry}}''

* Creator/JossWhedon

* ''Manga/Hellsing'' because cathartic violence is nifty.

* ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'', because puns and how much I unfortunately relate to Will Graham. Also, it's a very pretty show.

* ''LightNovel/FateZero'' - uh, the anime, I mean. I'm weak for a completely straight-faced aerial dogfight between Gilgamesh in a magical chariot and a medieval knight in a fighter jet while King Arthur, Alexander the Great and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne battle a Lovecraftian monster summoned by Gilles de Rais. Also a tragedy of the incredible destructive potential of a person determined to do right but resigned to cynicism.

* '''Additional Note:''' I am not on this wiki to talk about why I dislike anything because that's dull. Assume that I ''know'' whatever I'm talking about is flawed and that I love it anyway. There is no such thing as objectively bad entertainment, only technically bad. I think long and deeply on these things and smash people with WallsOfText if I believe they misunderstand this. This is a pre-emptive apology if you encounter me in a crusading mood and find yourself confused, frightened, annoyed or bored: I'm very sorry! I steer clear of YMMV and similar pages for this reason, but I haven't been able to squash the impulse completely.

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: As has undoubtedly been made apparent.
* YourMileageMayVary: I have my biases. I try to stay out of arguments, because it's the internet and FailureIsTheOnlyOption. Still, some convictions I hold can make that button really ''tempting''...

Young. Longwinded. Owns several hoodies.

* Creator/ChristopherNolan

* ''ComicBook/{{Saga}}'', for the author's answer regarding worldbuilding: "Whatever looks awesomest." (Well, also because of the touching, stark and hilarious portrayal of a conflict spanning a galaxy's worth of sides and a married couple made of adorable. All part of the awesome.)

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: When I was young, I often received the comment that I was away with the fairies. Getting older just means I can expand my list of mythical travelling partners and write field reports.

** Multiplayer and single-player should ''never'' occur in the same game.

* Filled out the ''Characters/{{Prototype}}'' CharacterSheet after it was launched. Roughly seventy-five percent of the page's content was added by me. The second game...well, can go more or less directly to hell.

* ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon FEAR]]'', though it has yet to actually ''frighten'' me. Oh well. Hallucinations!

* Various ''{{VideoGame/Thief}}'' examples scattered throughout the wiki. Nothing related to the reboot, though. The reboot can bite me.

* ''ComicBook/{{Saga}}'', for the author's answer regarding worldbuilding: "Whatever looks awesomest." (Well, also because of the touching, stark and hilarious portrayal of a conflict spanning a galaxy's worth of sides and a married couple made of adorable. But don't tell.)

* [[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon FEAR]], though it has yet to actually ''frighten'' me. Oh well. Explosions!

* ''ComicBook/{{Saga}}'', for the auther's answer regarding worldbuilding: "Whatever looks awesomest." (Well, also because of the touching, stark and hilarious portrayal of a conflict spanning a galaxy's worth of sides and a married couple made of adorable. But don't tell.)

* ''StarWars'' and the EU.

** ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine'' questions the player's motivations in pursuing a heroic fantasy that hinges wholly upon ever-more-realistic violence. This is a good question, and it is a good game. Indifferent gameplay, but a compelling and well-presented story.

* Filled out the ''Characters/{{Prototype}}'' CharacterSheet after it was launched. Roughly seventy-five percent of the page's content was added by me.

* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreed'', up until the Stupidness quotient became unbearable right around the time Ezio appeared in a second game.

* Like ''VideoGame/{{Bioshock}}''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}''

* ChrisAvellone
* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' and [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra related]].

** The ending of ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' was fine. The Extended Cut was fine, too. The game itself was brilliant.
** Multiplayer and single-player should never occur in the same game.

* Various ''{{Thief}}'' examples scattered throughout the wiki.
* Documenting my abject and virulent hate for the [[DarkerAndEdgier direction]] taken by Ubisoft in the ''[[PrinceOfPersia Sands of Time]]'' trilogy. Also, a passionate defence of the rebooted game and especially Princess Elika.

* GrammarNazi

Tropers/NanoMoose, a lady (rather than moose) who turned her usual handle into a WikiWord for the sake of convenience. Student, wannabe writer, video game addict and slavish Looking Glass Studios groupie, she may possibly be Australian, despite a suspicious fondness for tea, dislike of Vegemite and skin that bursts into flame upon contact with the rays of the daystar.

She spends her days locked up in a tiny room with ten million books, correcting the grammar and spelling of the world in between bouts of education, and appears to be sustained only by macaroni and periodic infusions of carbonated beverages.

Young. Longwinded. Owns hat. Wears black.
