...2010: My favorite music

Here's a list of music I got in 2010 that I enjoyed and would recommend.  Man I bought a bunch more than this but a ton of them were on the cusp of being reccomendable...Note a lot of these didn't come out in 2010:

1. Doomriders - Darkness Comes Alive
• Dunno how I missed this in 2009 but it's pretty much what I look for in hardcore.
2. Floor - Floor
• Imo this is even better than Torche.
3. Trash Talk - Eyes & Nines
4. Grinderman - Grinderman 2
• More consistent than the first.  How is it that I like this but not Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds?
5. No Age - Everything In Between
• On here for the first 2 songs.
6. Black Breath - Razor to Oblivion
• Yeah I realize this is from 2009 and they released an album this year.  Haven't heard it yet though so it'll have to wait until next year.
7. Fugazi Live Series: Volume 1
8. ZZ Top - Tres Hombres
• Ok in case you're wondering where the last 10 years of Melvins albums came from, listen to this.
9. Call Me Lightning - When I Am Gone My Blood Will Be Free
• These guys like the Who; I like the Who.
10. Tron Legacy Soundtrack
• Ok ignore this...I'm a big Tron fanboy.

Honorable Mentions:

• The Ghost of a Thousand - This Is Where the Fight Begins
• Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss

• NIN - Pretty Hate Machine 2010 Reissue
• Girl Talk - All Day
• High on Fire - The Art of Self Defense

...2010: My favorite movies

Here's a list of movies I saw in the theaters in 2010 that I enjoyed and would recommend:

1. Inside Job
• Fantastic documentary that ties together all the events and players that lead to our current economic situation. 
2. The Social Network
• David Fincher can turn most anything into a thriller.
3. Inception
4. Toy Story 3
5. True Grit
6. Black Swan
7. Best Worst Movie
• Came out of this movie in a really good mood.  It's a documentary about the culture that surrounds a movie that is really bad but really good.
8. Piranha 3d
• This one might not be so great to watch at home, but in the theaters it was a blast.
9. Catfish
• Documentary about a facebook relationship that was never what it seemed.  Try and see this without reading anything about it.
10. Jackass 3d

Honorable Mention:

• Machete
• The Town
• Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
• Shutter Island
• Tron 2.0
• The Crazies

...2010: My favorite games

Here's a list of games I played in 2010 that I enjoyed and would recommend. This list does not include 2 games from my company Rock Band 3 and Dance Central that I would consider top 10 :

    1. God of War 3

• The most incredible, dynamic levels I've ever played.

    2. Dead Rising: Case Zero

    3. Dead Rising 2

    4. Red Dead Redemption

• Really well acted.  The time period really suits open world gameplay.

    5. Starcraft 2

• I haven't ever played a game so many hours and sucked so bad.

    6. Halo Reach

    7. Game Dev Story

• I love simulation games.  I've always wanted a sim-game based on running a game company....

    8. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit

    9. Monday Night Combat

  10. Limbo

Honorable Mention:

• Angry Birds
• EA MMA
• Bioshock 2

...2010: My favorite books

Here's a list of books I read in 2010 that I enjoyed and would recommend.  Not all of these came out in 2010 though:

1. Grifftopia
• I haven't read as many political books this year as I have in past years for some reason.  Perhaps it's because it gets me all worked up and I can't sleep.  This one is a must read.
2. Sex at Dawn
• Curious why men and women sometimes have trouble with monogamy?  Why do women have multiple orgasms and men don't?  Is it possible a women could change how she feels about a man when he stops wearing condoms?  All these and more answered
3. The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses
• The best book I've read on game design.
4. The Power of Eye Contact
5. A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction
• Someday I hope video games have a tomb of a book like this.
6. Hammer of the Gods: The Led Zeppelin Saga
• Ok Jimmy Page and John Bonham were big time jerks.
7. 8 Steps to a Pain free Back
8. How Music Works
9. The 4 Hour Body
10. The Little Book That Beats the Market
• Pretty simple way to take care of your own investments.  There's even a mutual fund the writer started that does it all for you (I just invested in it).

Honorable Mention:

• The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet
• The Skinny on Real Estate Investing
• The 4-Hour Workweek
• No Country for Old Men
