Game: Jagged Alliance 2
Book: The Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson, OK technically it's a whole bunch of books but it is one over arching narrative so get off my back.
Movie: Ahh now there's the rub, I would say Mad Max, Millers Crossing, The Godfather, The Thing or Raiders of the Lost Ark, but you specified getting a laugh out of it. I know it's a tad overdone by the fans but I have to say The Big Lebowski just edges out Withnail and I, mostly because I watched and read a lot of hard-boiled detective stories in my youth. Big Trouble in Little China and Escape from New York are both great sick day/rainy day films though.

Edit: TV Show- Deadwood. I've seen it a bunch of times but the scene with Al and Wu when they are "discussing" the dope robbery, man that still makes me laugh. Al Swearengen has the greatest character development over the course of the three series ever.

Bioshock.
I have played it 6 times, and have all the achievements.

Except that one that came with the DLC about beating the game on hard with using vita chambers

Yup. All of em.

Game: Civilization IV. It's my go-to game when I'm feeling bored.

Book: Can manga series be included? Because the Genshiken series really applies here. 11 times through and I'm still not tired of it.

Movie: Shaun of the Dead. I laugh every single time I watch it.

TV Show: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Giant robots kicking ass while being powered by pure manly spirit? Yes, please.

Book: I suppose the Harry Potter books are the ones I re-read the most.
Movies: Spider-Man and Kick-Ass.

Game - Probably "Zelda III - A Link to the Past"... although "Chrono Trigger" always gets a rise out of me too.

Book - Stephen Kings "It". That one just grows truer and truer as the years go on.

Movie - To me both "Anchorman" and "Baseketball" are so funny it should probably be illegal. Incredibly stupid, but funny as whole hell!

Game: huh... Guild Wars, I guess. the only one I could say I "consistently" go back to.

Book: too many. books are awesome

Movie: The Incredibles. I used to work in a retail store, and they forced us to demo the dvd/tv combos by showing a movie over and over 24/7 for months at a time. Every single movie, no matter how great the first time, was completely ruined by that kind of forced watching except one... To this day it's the only one of those movies I can still even look at, and it remains one of my favorites of all time. EDIT: oh yeah, and Spaceballs, one of Mel Brooks' crowning achievements.

TV Show: Futurama all the way! A very close second to Mythbusters, because science + explosions = the best damn show on tv.

Game - Red Dead Redemption, GTA IV, Empire Total War. I can play those over and over and not really get bored with them.

Book - The Ender's Game series. It's got a lot to say about compassion and selflessness. Also space bugs and philosophy.

Movie - There Will Be Blood. It's a beautiful movie and I can relate (my gf likes it during her time of the month (not really (she would kill me if she discovered I said that(limbo)))).

TV - TeeVee gets old pretty quick... but Star Trek TNG I guess. Picard ages like a fine wine.

Game: Persona 3 Fes. So much to do in that game.

Book: The Dark Tower IV: The Wizard's Glass. Stephen King at his best, when he was young. It just captures the old west/terror spirit.

Movie: ...um... Probably Bruce Almighty. I've never really thought about it, but i guess if i was at gun point it would be my choice
You remind me so much of myself about 4 years ago...

OT:

Game: Metal Gear Solid 2 or Fatal Frame 2. Never gets old, no matter how many Russians I shoot with tranqs or ghosts that smack me down.

Book: Kushiel's Legacy series or The Hollows novels. I cannot trumpet the merits of these loudly enough, so I won't. READ THEM AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.

Film: Zoolander. I can quote it nearly line for line but I still laugh every single time.

TV Show: Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Trigun.
Why do you say that? and is that good or bad?

Those are the choices I'd've made about four years ago, if FES had been available then. Same reasoning, too, lol.

Game: Fallout 2 or Oblivion. Would be Fallout 3 as well but my laptop can't take that.
Movie: Top Gun. Just rocks. I usually hate movies too, so that says a lot about what I think of it
Essay: John Arquilla's essay In Athena's Camp: Preparing for Conflict in the Information Age. I keep referring back to it whenever I need a citation for most English classes. Damn well written, and has some damn good ideas.

Game: Tie between both Mass Effects and Fallout 3.
Movie: Another tie, between Hot Fuzz and Shanghai Noon.
Book: judging by the wear and tear, i must really like Halo: Fall of Reach and The Flood alot. personal favorite books are the Ciaphas Cain books however. if i have nothing else to do, i start that series over again.
