Shallow, actually it's apparent that you and your spamming anon friend seem to share the same favourite game; that old favourite known as "Fucking Up Otherwise Decent Threads".
Ok...

Yes, I also recommend the instant classic, "Look at me make a complete fool out of myself on public message boards!"
Seriously though, Top10 threads suck anyways.
List Threads

As you may have guessed I do actually hate them: I don't get the compulsion to post lists of things with no real explanation or insight into how that list was formed, like a couple of lines on WHY people like the stuff they're spooling off, or what those things did that makes them so much better than other similar things. In some cases even that wouldn't be that interesting - for instance we probably have a fairly good idea that almost everyone here likes Quake, but none of them is likely to have any surprising reasons for why they like it because it's been discussed a lot already. If it was for a game most people have never heard of it might be.
Worst of all are compiled Top 100 lists that people have voted on, these invariably have aberrations of one sort or another high up the rankings and serve only to shake your faith in humanity.
Anyway, for people who like lists, here's a handy one suggesting three possible ways of coping with the FUNC DRAMA!!! that has unfolded in this thread:
1. Ignore it and carry on as usual.
2. Post more stupid lists.
3. Bionicle (PS2).
(Options 2 and 3 may not be serious suggestions, and yes, I am a horrible person who uses kittens to rape babies to death)

I don't like popcorn; it gives me the shits.
Therefore, quid pro quo, I go to movie theaters and drop a load in the popcorn bin.
(I'm taking #4: Point out the obvious stupidity again.)
Well.

I find it pretty hard to compare older games to modern games....but I guess my overall list might be something like:
1. Quake
2. Unreal
3. Battlezone 2
4. Unreal Tournament
5. Deus Ex
6. Far Cry
7. Blade Of Darkness
8. Guild Wars
9. Wheel Of Time
10. Half-Life 2
Guess that about sums it up for me. A few more I could substitute for those lower down the list e.g. Mechcommander 2, Quake 2. But that selection is a good enough spectrum of what I've really liked in gaming. Should be pretty obvious why each game is in.

No, just boring. At least the kitten/baby rapist might have some amusement value.

Are you using Opera? It happened to me too with that browser. It is still a "g" but you can't see the lower curve.
