3. "Notre Dame de Paris." I am not talking about Victor Hugo's novel, but rather the French-Canadian musical based on it. I will dare to say that it's the best musical experience I have ever had. Genius.
4. "Awaking the Centuries," Haggard. An album by a German metal band. But wait, it's not just a metal band, but a symphonic metal band. The album features an amazing correlation between classic and heavy metal.
5. Common Errors in English. A Web site which offers access to thousands of misused words in the English language.

1. "Iron Sunrise," Charles Stross. A brilliant sci-fi thriller, with one part a spy thriller and another part a critical look at the future of humankind.
2. http://last.fm. This Internet radio site has even my most obscure favorites, and exposes me to others I would've never heard of otherwise.
3. Persona 4. A role-playing video game. Although it isn't particularly innovative in mechanics or context, it makes up for it in competence of execution.
4. "The Fall." This is the sort of movie that came out in a blaze of media acclaim, only to fade away into obscurity. Which is a pity, as the movie's jaw-dropping scenery and tearjerker of a plot demands a lot more attention.
5. The Principia Discordia. The "holy" text of the Erisian "religion" is either a joke disguised as a religion or a religion disguised as a joke. It makes an amusing read either way.
