Things you really wish you didn't like.

[Doclector]

Pretty simple. Any guilty pleasures? Things you like, but you feel like you shouldn't? Anything embarassing?

Spoiler: The swarm by you me at six.

I HATE You me at six. The name's awful, for one thing. The band is so typically "boy band" that it hurts. The fans are annoying. And at the beginning of their career, they seemed to be trying to rip off the 90s pop punk bands that made my childhood such as sum 41. Then they make a song for a FUCKING RIDE and it happens to be good. Not only that, but the song makes me long for a game in which you play as a soldier with just conventional weaponry, no laser guns, or even a helpless civilian in an epic, hopeless alien invasion. That will never be made, unfortunately. Of course, if anyone's to take on aliens, it has to be some form of super soldier. A spartan, some guy in a crysis suit, goddamn mechs, something like that. We couldn't possibly have a game in which an alien invasion feels threatening and way, way more technologically advanced, could we? And thus, this song gives me a gaming itch that can never be scratched.

Spoiler: God fucking dammit, gmod musical collab

It's done this to me twice.
3:27. One republic. For someone like me, a metalhead mostly, liking a song by one republic is just a bit embarassing. Still, we're all allowed our little guilty pleasures...
But this. This at 5:01. I don't like machine music. Not at all. But this...I dunno, I kinda like this. Dunno why, but I do. Okay. I can deal with that. But what's it about? I mean, it says "Discord" but it sounds like it's talking specifically about a person. Where I have I heard that name befo...

Oh god no. NONONONONO. PONY machine music!? NOPE. I'm locking myself in my room with extremely violent games, beer, and action movies. Bronies are free to do as please, but hell to the fuck no am I joining them, no matter how many "Welcome to the herd" gifs you throw at me! *door slams shut*

Oh, and the captcha is officially spying on us. I'm watching one of Maven's vampire movie reviews on thatguywiththeglasses, and captcha says "Garlic, yum". Watch that fucking captcha man. It's planning something.

I really wish I didn't enjoy riffing the Disney Channel

It's too easy now

I like a challenge, dang it!

 

[Aerosteam]

It's got to be playing as the opposite gender in video games. When anyone finds out, the following conversation is always very awkward.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

In general, what Aerosteam said.

As far as this site goes, it seems like it's damn near a crime to like Bioware, let alone not hate EA.

 

[Goofguy]

Probably Timbaland's stuff from his Shock Value album. I never like that style of music, but his songs with Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake and Keri Hilson are pretty damn catchy.

I'm all for enjoying many genres of music but I just don't like hip-hop or R&B. But surprisingly, I really like many of the songs on that album.

Porn . I wish i didn't need it but sadly i do , the worst part is i'm dead serious . I can't talk aboutnporn with no one , it's embarassing . But i cannot live without it .

Jrpgs . I LOVE jrpgs to death . I'm a black male . Other black people look at me weirdly.

This! Exactly this! (The porn thing, not the JRPGS. They can go Fuck themselves).

 

[Ljs1121]

Doctor Who for me. I like it quite a bit, but no one I know watches it and I'd probably get ostracized for being a nerd if I told anyone that I enjoyed it.

 

[Phasmal]

Lady Gaga. Apparently I have to be stupid to like her, but what the fuck, the songs are catchy.

In fact, probably catchy songs in general, even if they are terrible. If they're stuck in my head, I'll listen to them more. It's a neverending circle.

Urge to make joke about you and sazh...rising...

 

[FalloutJack]

Can't think of anything for the life of me, mostly because the term 'guilty pleasure' holds no meaning for me. I like what I like and that's all.

This.

If a game gives me a choice, I'll almost always play female characters. I'm not even sure if there's a specific reason as to why I do it. Sometimes there's a practical purpose, like in the case of Resident Evil 5 where Sheva Alomar's character model takes up less of the screen than Chris "Built Like A Refrigerator On Steroids" Redfield. Then there's Mass Effect where I found Mark Meer's voice acting to be immersion-breakingly terrible and opted to listen to Jennifer Hale instead. But other times...

/shrug.

... best reason I can come up with is variety. The vast majority of games out there feature male protagonists, so I'm doing my part to level the playing field.

As for an original guilty pleasure that hasn't already been mentioned by someone... I freaking LOVE bad 80's pop music, which is a pretty big departure from the classic rock and metal that most people know I'm a fan of.

 

[sextus the crazy]

Sugary foods. They're bad for my teeth (which aren't great to begin with), bad for my body (I get a runny nose if I eat too much in a single day), and bad for my ADHD.

"shrugs" I like them because I like the way that they sound.

That's new to me. I know plenty of black people that are huge Final Fantasy fans. What's with the racial barrier?

OT: For me, it's Charmed. It's a show that comes on tv with 3 witches as the main characters. It can get pretty girly powery at times.

Black and japanese are two entirely different cultures. Being black and liking anime/comic books/jrpgs/manga makes you look like a loser and not "black". Iv'e been call a black weebo or a oreo because of it . Also i'm not cool enough to get me a black chick , so i usually date white girls . Most people view black people ( especially men ) stereotypically .

Random ass gifs that likely originated off of 4chan.

 

[PleaseDele]

Guilty pleasures? Auto-tune metal. You know, the Crabcore stuff. Abandon All Ships is my workout music. Works wonders.

 

[Blazing Steel]

Auto Tune. There are many exceptions, but in general I kinda like how auto tuned voices sound. However admiting this seems to set people into a rage. If you're open about something is it still a guilty pleasure? If so then I'll add in equestrianism. I don't hind it and if someone asks what I enjoy or what sports I do, I'll tell them but I always get funny looks. I'm 17 so I'm nearing the end of my school education but I got quite a lot of verbal bullying mostly along the lines of gay jokes. Stuff like that. Or at least I did until I used my well toned legs to burst a guy's testicle. Ah good times...

 

[saintdane05]

I go on /d/. A lot. That should tell you some things.

Another thing: I love Celo Green. His voice, mainly. It's strong, yet smooth. Just the kind of Black, Male voice I like.
