Bless Me Internet for I Have Sinned (Nerd/Pop Culture Confessional)

[Nazulu]

Bless this.

- I find Starcraft 2 to be in poor taste, well the story and discussions through the cinematics. The new units are worse than the old units that were replaced but the missions are alright I guess.
- Seinfeld is nothing but crappy one liners performed slightly better than How I Met Your Mother, which is also rubbish.
- Some of the scenes in Godfather and Space Odyssey: 2001 are truly epic but I find a lot of the movie to be boring.
- I don't want anything to do with Facebook.
- Find the media as a whole has been saturated with even more shit than ever before and doesn't seem to be improving any time soon.

That's enough for now.

 

[Chiyo-Chan]

I liked Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.

Wait, most people don't?

 

[agrajagthetesty]

I hated Pulp Fiction, to the extent that I had to walk out of the room where I'd been watching it with my brother.

I never saw Pokemon or Digimon.

I haven't seen Fight Club, but I have read it. I thought it was meh.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

I don't think Portal deserves the praise it gets.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Well there are a bunch of "must-play/watch" games and movies that I've never played/watched that people would be like "WHAT?" if I told them. Some of them I plan on experiencing, but others I may never get around to.

I don't tend to hate things that I don't enjoy. Seriously the amount of hate that I see towards somethings on here is astounding (unless you lot are misuing the word). "I hate Halo", "I hate MW2", "I hate Justin Bieber", "I hate Twilight", "I hate blah blah blah..." Yeah sure I may not like something, hell, I may even dislike it; but I generally don't hate it. Live and let live ya know?

Also I play TF2 on the 360. And with some of the recent updates for the PC, I don't really regret it that much (I would like some of the weapons and maps though, stupid Microsoft).

 

[Blemontea]

It's been my entire life since my last confession

I enjoy the Simpsons even though I'm supposed to hate the new seasons.

----

I don't know why I should hate Justin Beiber.

I think Digimon was better than Pokemon.

son dont worry i apparently have sinned with you, BUT GOD DIGIMON IS WORTH IT.

 

[SpaceSpork]

I completely accepted the random unexplained bullshit of Inception.

What completely unexplained bullshit?

OT:

I feel that the Wii is better than the PS3 and the X-Box 360.

I thought Revenge of the Sith was a pretty great movie.

I like Dane Cook, even though he's a total moron.

A large part of the music I listen to is rap.

 

[CrashBang]

I don't understand the hype behind Half Life at all... that's all I've got

 

[FollowUp]

I did not like Avatar. I thought the story was cheesy and annoying, and no amount of visual effects could get me through that.
Gears of War's story makes me sick.
I've never found Dane Cook particularly funny (though I don't think I'm alone there.)
I think South Park and most kinds of metal music are terrible.

I like suit coats.

That last is just weird.

 

[Extasii]

I don't care for Bleach past the first Soul Society arc.
I refuse to play Cod online.
I love musicals, especially Sweeney Todd and Phantom of the Opera.
August Rush was amazing.

**EDIT**
I enjoy Ke$ha and Lady Gaga at times, but I prefer hearing them at clubs.

 

[Enigma6667]

I don't like Donnie Darko.

I don't like Seinfeld.

I hate CoD.

I've never seen the Godfather movies yet (And I consider myself a big movie buff.)

I despised Avatar.

I did not really like Dragon Age: Origins (And I loved the Mass Effect games...)

I enjoyed Revenge of the Sith.

I did not find Rosemary's Baby scary at all.

Napoleon Dynamite is the worst piece of shit over-rated mess of a film ever made.

I enjoy musicals quite a bit, and my favorite one is Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd.

I thought Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland wasn't terrible. I thought there were terrible moments in it, but it didn't detract much for me.

I am not into any web-comics at all.

I kinda liked the Silent Hill movie.

The Fountain is one of my favorite films of all time.

And seeing how a lot of people have been saying that Inception was confused bullshit, I'll just say that I perfectly understood it with the exception of the ending, which I loved because it was meant to be ambiguous. And as a side-note, I also perfectly understood Memento as well, even though it took a little more brain-power to do so then usual. I still haven't seen The Prestige.

 

[Ambi]

I don't have a borderline obsession with any fictional series. I don't really immerse myself in fiction much at all, actually.

I like the aesthetic of all the "nerd fiction" and anime and it's just so convenient to have that thing there that can help relationships form when you have something to talk about and understand references, that "inside knowledge" you both connect with. Something to wear on a shirt, to use as an excuse for a gathering, to be inspired by. I realize I'm sounding like a loser who would feign true interest and knowledge of cool things to fit in, but I don't let myself get to that point anymore.

I used to play make-believe Star Wars with my friends when I was six. I made my parents buy me a toy light saber and Star Wars lego, but I never went out of my way to watch the movies. I just liked the power and adventurousness that light sabers represented to me, and that I could have fun with my friends.

I still haven't seen all of the Star Wars movies.

I've put off watching the rest of Death Note even though I have about six episodes on my HDD that I haven't watched yet. Everyone says it's good, so far it's alright... meh. I find other things to do.

I haven't seen any of the movies/shows or read any books of the following series: Harry Potter, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Dr Who, Star Trek, etc.

I like metal that is over-produced, more on the mainstream side, and not "kvlt". I like some falsely labelled "punk" music like Blink 182 but I also like the original bands. I like Green Day. I also like deathcore and various other "core" genres, even that stuff that blends auto-tuned pop music and trance with metalcore. I also listen to the original 80s hardcore punk bands and know of the "real screamo" bands, but despite that, I still listen to the former. I like bands that sing about heroism in war (Sabaton, Ensiferum), and I like anti-war activist type of bands (Rise Against, Anti-Flag). I like some rap music. I like some Christian bands, and I like some anti-Christian bands.

I am completely indifferent to the Twilight series. I saw the first movie, and it was just like any other average movie to me. Mildly entertaining. I didn't hate it or love it.

I used to play Runescape.

Converse Chuck Taylors are overrated. Sure, they come in all different colours and are a "classic" I guess, but I hate seeing pictures of them or flashes of them in a music video to show how artsy and alternative someone is. Although it would be convenient to have shoes that match a lot of things, I won't buy them because I'll feel like a tool and they're associated with sweatshop scandals.

 

[Teh_Lemon]

I can't stand any of the Final Fantasy games I've tried.
I know all of the pokemon types, can recognize every 4th gen and under pokemon by name, what their types are, and most of the lore behind each legendary.
I find Pokemon Movies worth watching, but that isn't to say I've actually watched most of them.
I found the 3rd gen of pokemon to be the most fun.
I refuse to buy Starcraft II for quite literally no reason, regardless of the amount of peer pressure I've received to buy it from so many of my friends.
I plan to buy Black Ops because everyone is getting it.
I can and have read every Harry Potter book in under a day.
Wizards > Jedi, IMO.
I played Just Cause 2 to the very end, just to see why it was so hyped/popular. I still don't get it.
I didn't think the voice acting in the game was THAT bad, but only because I know they did that on purpose. So I think they're half-excused.
I play Wii/DS for Nintendo games, and PC for everything else.
I think 3D computer-generated porn is retarded, let I love animated/game hentai.
I couldn't get through the first Half Life.

 

[Diablo2000]

Let's see...
I don't like why so many people like Star Trek, it's just boring talking and shit.
I kinda enjoyed Waterworld.
I only were able to play Final Fantasy VII for a half hour and I find it boring as hell.
I actually like the Highlander TV series.

*EDIT*

I don't like Scott Pilgrim, without the nerdy jokes and references I would just put him in "Romantic Comedy" and ignore it till it erased it self from existence.

 

[KP Shadow]

I like JRPGs... but mainly the ones that have a twist to them, like Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (A real-time game), or Pokémon (You catch the monsters and have them fight for you. Also, you play as a child whose gender is pretty apparent, you get to pick his gender, and is less a mopey emo and more of the determinator)

I liked the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

I liked A Bug's Life more than I liked Toy Story. Also, the Totoro cameo was one of my favorite little background things from Toy Story 3... and I never even saw My Neighbor Totoro.

When it comes to LEGO stuff, I'm perfectly willing to sand off part of something so I can make my own decal.

Also, I too do not like fruit... unless it's citrus.

 

[Baby Eater]

Forgive me mods for I have sinned:
I've never finished a Bioshock game.
I thought Ninja Gaiden 2 was shit compared to the original and Black.
I've never seen Doctor Who but am interested.
I don't like Star Trek. At all.
I loved Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts as much as the original games
I don't know what Firefly is or why I should care.
I like country music and heavy metal at the same time.
Brutal Legend was ok in my opinion.
That's all for now.

 

[Baby Eater]

The post is now DIAMONDS!

 

[aLivingPheonix]

I liked Sonic Heroes, as well... I still play it on a semi-reguler occasion. I also agree with you on everything, pretty much.

I don't like bacon...
I love Halo, and possibly Call of Duty...

 

[Dr Snakeman]

My greatest nerd sin? I dislike anime. I just can't understand why anyone would enjoy that crap: it's just too weird.

I suck with computers, and I hate math.

Also, I'm pretty conservative. So there's that.

By the way, I know that this thread just serves confessional purposes... but all the Mass Effect hate makes me so sad. I'm sorry, I think I'm just too much of a fanboy to take much more. I guess fanboydom is a bit of a nerd sin, as well. So I confess that sin, too.

There, that's all my confessions. Even though I'm not Catholic. O_O

 

[General_Potatoes]

It's been my entire life since my last confession

I enjoy the Simpsons even though I'm supposed to hate the new seasons.

I completely accepted the random unexplained bullshit of Inception.

I enjoyed both Sonic Heroes and Sonic Riders.

I thought the Twilight werewolves looked kind of cool (Lord, forgive me!)

I don't know why I should hate Justin Beiber.

I think Digimon was better than Pokemon.

This isn't about debate, but simple confession.

1. I understand that

3. Their not that bad of games

4. Okay thats a little weird, although i liked the first one. (god knows why?)

5. Because he hasnt hit puberty yet

6. Of course it was pokemon sucks.
