With regards to your movies, books, video games, ect, which "genre" do you prefer?

Science Fiction: Halo, Star Wars, Ender's Game, ect.

Fantasy: The Lord of the Rings, The Elder Scrolls, ect.

I personally love science fiction as much as the next guy, but Fantasy worlds are just so much more inciting to me, I much prefer getting lost in said worlds.

Online Gaming's pretty much like a zombie movie. There are a lot of mindless idiots roaming around but you find some survivors on the way.

Sci-fi for movies, fantasy for books and both for video games.

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

Isn't fantasy a form of sci fi anyway?

Fantasy ALWAYS gets generalized as magic and swords

Quote from Confucius

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

There all good

Prefer the lasers though

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Both are good.

In terms of genres of films or books that's what fantasy is.

Going to have to go with fantasy if I have to make a choice.

Whatever the terms might be, "science fiction" and "fantasy" work at least on a conversational level.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

Scifi has more possibilities. Fantasy can be more intriguing.

Why not both? Science fantasy is my choice.

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

I really like scifi, but prefer fantasy.

I've always preferred science fiction a lot more.

As a child, I watched all six Star Wars movies at least 10 times each. For Lord of the Rings, I've only seen the first once and the third twice.
As a teenager, I collected Warhammer 40,000, rather than the fantasy Warhammer. I could never really get into that.
Now, I really like Halo and Mass Effect, and the only fantasy game I play is Skyrim.

Multi-trillionaire modern cowboy.

That's right.

I prefer Science-fiction. I'm a swordfighter, so I always feel related to Fantasy, but the whole idea of magic doesn't appeal to me. I'm one for realism, and SF brings miraculous things with a realistic hull.

It has to do with me growing up with watching Star Wars every single day, but I'm happy for that. Fantasy is so limited.

Also, laserpistols and spaceships.
