Your favorite video game media that isn't... well a video game.

I imagine you'll have a post explaining what the hell this even means.

For me I would have to go with movies. While there are no doubt some shitty movies, there are some decent ones (MK1) and also a few guilty pleasures ( I like 1 or 2 of the Resident Evil films). What bout them other duders out there! 
 
EDITT: Thought it would be clear enough just by the answers but what do you like to see other video game properties in.

I clicked films because i love films. I dont understand what you're asking but films are cool.

What is this?

I assume you're asking about video game property based movies/books/comics. I suppose I would have to say books, because I haven't ever cared about any of that stuff except for the Halo novels when I was younger. I guess books win by default?

Books. I really enjoy the first two Doom novels and the first MK novel, although admittedly in the same way that I enjoy B-movies.

Books and comics for me.

The books and music.

I don't generally listen to video game music as a leisure activity; however, some of it provides for excellent study listening material. The soundtracks for the Elder Scrolls series, for instance, are designed for ambiance and mood. They are not designed to constantly draw your attention to the beats and the rhythms and the lyrics; rather, they're designed to fit the game world and to focus your attention on that. While being a homework helper isn't their intended purpose, it is a very practical application for me.

The books because I like to read stuff. Just stuff. Bad stuff, good stuff; I'm especially tolerant of bad stuff if it presents more information about a story I like, though I haven't read much in a while. An example of an excellent video game book is Halo The Fall of Reach and its sequel, First Strike. Both books, as far as I'm concerned, are shining examples of how to successfully describe space combat while keeping the suspense up. If you like space navy fiction at all, you should probably read these two books regardless of your opinion on the games.

I liked the Resident Evil novels, and have read them more than once

I chose movies. I kind of liked the Silent Hill movie.

Books.

The first two Halo novels (the only two I've read, the others may be good, don't know) and all three Mass Effect novels are excellent.

I also listen to a lot video game music, both original and fan remixes. If anyone is interested in video game remixes, this site is great, much better than OCRemix.

I clicked other, and I don't know if this counts, but it's got to be music. Even a bad game can have an awesome soundtrack. Not to mention things like Video Games Live. My Kingdom Hearts 2 soundtrack is one of my favorite albums to just listen to in general.

Fall of Reach was good enough for me to vote books, even if the rest are pretty bad.

None they are all shitty... I enjoyed a few warcraft books but I read(started) like 30 video game based books and only like 3 were bearable so I stopped doing it. Games are games, if the warcraft movie is good I might change my mind! Especially since its Sam Raimi

Some people are just dense, I swear. I like books as my form of Video game but not Video-game fix. Just fleshes out the story much better than a film, and allows multiple people to expand upon it that aren't big hollywood types. I mean, any of the resident evil books are tons better than the films. Hell, they at least stick to the story lol.

GIANT BOMB!!! It's a form of media.

Besides that... nothing.

Soundtracks should be part of this right?

Books, comics and music can all be used to great effect to convey something from a video game universe, I would list movies too but we haven't gotten much to celebrate from that front.

Anyway video games are best experienced as video games in the end of the day.

None. I'm not convinced that game franchises can be quality works in any other media. I think books and movies are just shameless cash-ins. :p

I've got a Pac Man cross stitch wall hang that my girl friend made for me before she died. I'd choose that over any other media.

Soundtracks, definitely. I want to go into sound design/composing for games, so in some ways it's a scholarly pursuit of sorts.

Does porn count?

The books. I love the books and the music.

Nonw

I enjoy movies, just not as much as video games. Documentaries are interesting to watch too.

Same. I too enjoy reading novels and books based on video games. I've read several Resident Evil novels by S.D. Perry and some Blizzard books. The last I read was Doom 3: Worlds on Fire. Next book will be Rage.

@Psykhophear: I forgot about the RE books! City of the Dead was great!

I chose other, and I don't care if it's not technically media, but my Claude Speed figure is my favorite game thing.

Option G.

Books/Comics. Though the latter choice is a given for me..

How do you not have soundtracks in that poll?

I am offended!
