Things you like that everyone else hates.

But of course, and there was no Latin and Normandic French influence when William the Conqueror -well, conquered Britain, noooo, nor were there Gaelics and Welsh... which are also constitutive elements of English... even remotely...
Oh, by the way, shenanigans is either of Irish Gaelic or German origin...

I can speak Scots Gaelic... Shen means old... can't figure out the rest...

According to Wiktionary [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shenanigan] : From Irish sionnachuighim (??I play the fox??). But I couldn't be really assertive on this, I have no idea, I thought it came from an Indian dialect in America...

Chocolate covered pretzels.

For some reason nobody I know would touch them with a ten foot pole.

Opposite of the ? i REALLY dont get bioshock. It was ok, the game is broken by vita chambers.(i get it switch them off - hey um... i shouldnt have to). The story is manageable... not bad but slightly above avg. It in no fucking way is "epic" or "gripping" to me. to each his own but for me i'm really tired of hearing how great it is...cuz its not.

How could any sane person not want to gorge themselves on chocolate covered pretzels everytime they see them?? I FFing love those things!

 

[Trace2010]

The music of Frank Stallone and Vince DiCola: Yeah, it was that 80's electro music, but damn, it was awesome!

You can find it in:

1) Rocky (Frank actually plays a cameo role in Rocky and Rocky II- Vince DiCola wrote most of the "computerized" themes in Rocky IV- say what you want about the movie, the music was badass).

2) Stayin' Alive (sequel to Saturday Night Fever)

3) Over the Top (yep, another one with Sly)

4) The Tranformers Cartoon Movie (most of the music unaffiliated with particular bands is accorded to Vince DiCola)

5) Other cartoons of the day. I think they are also associated with the G.I. Joe movie as well.

I know many of you like metal, but none of my friends like metal, except like, 1. And most of his songs are pop..pop and metal...anyways, I kinda like heavy metal, but again all of my friends all start to sing along when some crappy song which makes my ears bleed plays on the radio in the gym and I'm like o.0

Horatio Caine. He could take out Chuck Norris with just a pair of sunglasses.

Go Justice Shades!

It is possibly the best name ever. Horatio Caine...

Brilliant.
Even if he does resemble a gingerbread man.

Hrm... Things I like that everyone hates, huh?

Sonic Team
Dear God if they don't make a select few fantastic games once in a while. Really, they get more flack than they deserve sometimes. Granted, you're plucking gems, but when the gems are so good. It's like swimming through the sea of filth that is most Squeenix games, but tripping over stuff like Chrono Trigger and FF V and VI.

Small Cars
My friends give me hell all the time for my Civic. I love the little thing, two doors made of awesome. They hate it though, and give me so much flack for it. I dunno why, but it works for me. Might be the lightness, might be the traction and low center-of-gravity. I dunno.

In-Line Skating
Maybe I missed the boat here, but it seems like all anyone does these days that involves wheels and transportation is either bike or automobile, with a Hot Topic encrusted subsection of skateboards. What happened to the days of skates, roller rings, and doing those things for the fun instead of the transport.

Writing
As an English major, this one boggles me. I get constant complaints about three page essays when I churn those out in my spare time (titled "game reviews" or "rp posts"). Ah well, to each their own, I guess.

 

[The Iron Ninja]

The fact that I'm from Scotland.
Really, a lot of people from outside it attack Scottish people for no reason, especially on the internet. Some English person kept calling me a jock on Xbox Live and it really pissed me off. And most US-Scottish abuse is just US-Everyone Else abuse, anyway.

For the record. I think Scotland is awesome.
But I'm not British or American, so that might have something to do with it.

 

[Gotham Soul]

European fashion. Apparently if I wear collared shirts too often during one week I'm labeled as gay.

 

[Clairaudient]

Another Vista fan here. There's nothing wrong with it, really.

(Big Image Here)
No, nothing...

To be honest I've had Vista since it came out and I've never seen that error screen or any error screen aside from an Internet Explorer freeze every month or so. Not even one blue screen. (if Vista has one?)

 

[godinshorts]

despite what people may say. halo is at best mediocre,, no by far the best fps out there is crysis: warhead yes its a graphics hog, but its just so fooking cool

 

[Helmet]

I love David Foster Wallace and one of his novels "Infinite Jest" in particular.

If there is anyone else who has read this book on here, I will personally come to your house and shake your hand.

I've tried to get everybody I know to read it, and none of my idiotic friends can get past the "it's a big book" thing.

Morons....

 

[godinshorts]

oh, and spore could easily be made a million times better with a few patches and mods

 

[godinshorts]

wheel of time series

this guy has it right, and to anyone that hates this series i will personally come to your house and punch you, hard, with brass knuckles. Oh and that book that he mentioned is all right

 

[Chiasm]

I think for it is my love for the old cartoon Gummi bears even to this day I still do not understand why I love it other then bears who bounce alot.....

I would, sadly, have to say good books like 1984 or Animal Farm (yes I like George Orwell) while everyone else reads things like Twilight. I have actually been told "Who cares about those old books" when said person is holding Twilight in their hand.

Wait there's people who didn't like Animal Farm I mean..communist pigs and all thats a shame.

 

[Rodyille]

I love the book CS Goto's Eldar Prophecy I thought it was brilliant on too, too many levels not to like it but everyone else hate it with avengance

 

[Agayek]

Jar Jar Binks.

Don't ask me why, but I actually liked the guy, and absolutely no one I've talked to shares that opinion.

 

[corporate_gamer]

bread and gravy.

Do you live in the U.S. anywhere remotely close to the south? that sir is the cornerstone of good foods down here.

Nope i live near London where its goodness is not so appreciated

 

[Mortimas IV]

Although I have not sufficiently surveyed "everyone else," I'd have to say that they all probably hated Reign of Fire.

That movie had dragons.
