Your Lonely Fandom

[orangeban]

The Wii. I know no-one who likes it! Not one! That and the writings of Stalin. For some reason everyone shys away when I try to discuss it! People are so strange.

 

[AlAaraaf74]

I love classical music, and none of my friends do.

Counter example: a good ammount of my friends love anime, and I don't. (The only anime I've ever seen and enjoyed are Paprika and Perfect Blue.)

*OP snip*

*Homestuck hi-5*

Been trying to get my friend into it but he's been stuck on act 2 for a 3 months

I agree, but it also depends on what horror movie/game you're talking about.

Most/some horror movies/games today either startle you with a noise and then something wierd is shoved in the camera, or they disgust the hell out of you. I have yet to see a good recent horror movie/game.

As for horror novels, it depends on how good the writer is.

OT: Gunstar Heroes. I haven't yet met one person/friend on this website or in real life that has heard of that game.

Well, yeah, a lot of horror is shit, I recognize that. What bothers me is the fact that everyone I know will write off all horror simply because there is a fair amount of garbage in the genre. Ignoring the entire horror genre because of the fact that there is a lot of terrible horror movies (and games) is like ignoring the entire sci-fi genre because of Battlefield Earth.

But, really, if my friends are going to refuse to watch Hellraiser because they think it's the exact same thing as The Human Centipede because "hurr durr they're both horror", fine. That's their loss. *shrug*

If that didn't make any sense, I am blaming the fact that it's 3.20 in the morning :V

Mine would be the manga Dragon Knights by Mineko Ohkami... it's older now, was never very popular to begin with. I think there are... three people I'm aware of online still 'active' in the fandom (meaning they turn out something related to it every seven months or so) and I know two people offline who've read it, neither of whom really care about it anymore.

I re-read it recently, and I want to discuss it and rp it and there is no one to do it with. Doesn't help that I like side-characters most, either. ;__;

 

[Aidinthel]

Majesty and Dwarf Fortress? Do you think there's a club for people who just like these obscure games?

Because I want in.

Judging by this thread, there is a club and it is called the Escapist. So that saves us some trouble at least.

 

[Duck Sandwich]

Five Finger Death Punch. One of my favourite bands. They're going to be at a concert near where I live, but I'm not going because I have no one to go with

Starcraft 2 - I used to have a few friends that played this. One of which I had some awesome 2v2 sessions with. But now everyone's stopped playing because they either seem to have forgotten about SC2, or are just plain tired of getting curbstomped whenever they stop playing for a couple of weeks.

 

[coates32]

For me, my lonely fandom is almost any 2D game such as Odin Sphere and Blazblue. I'm also the only one out of my friends that enjoy an anime called Sgt. Frog.

OT: Gunstar Heroes. I haven't yet met one person/friend on this website or in real life that has heard of that game.

I love that game. Unfortunately, I never knew about it until I tried on Xbox Live Arcade and PSN.

 

[The Grim Ace]

I'm a complete fan of Escaflowne, I got hooked on the censored FOX version, ended up seeing the proper version and enjoying it even more. For some reason, I've never met anyone else whose even heard of Escaflowne, and some people I know happen to know some obscure anime. Oh well.

 

[Chasing-The-Light]

I'm a huge Death Note fan and my favorite characters with my favorite dynamic is the successors and that whole arc. And yet there are a lot of (majority of...) fans of the show who prefer L. =/ Damn fangirls...

 

[Dango]

Anime, Visual Kei, Doctor Who, and most other things I'm interested in that come from another country.

 

[Viirin]

Aberration.
I love that movie. I've watched it at least 10 times.
I also used to rent Clive Barker's Night Breed so many times that my sister finally bought it for me because it was cheaper than renting it every other week.

 

[Tallim]

Alestorm

Hell yeah! Although 3 of my friends all love Alestorm and all found it independently which was a tad strange. Still amused they covered You Are A Pirate.

They've signed my friend's bollock.

Just the one? Must write really small - or it's really huge.

 

[lunam-kardas]

My Rune Factory games.... every time I attempt to explain it I always get the same response "So it's like Farmville?"

 

[sparkyk24]

There was a game called "War Games: Defcon 1" for the Playstation. No one liked that game as much as me. One friend showed it to me, but he wasn't as into it. I've never even met anyone else that had played it...I'm sure there are more, but that's the first one that came to mind.

 

[sparkyk24]

I'm a huge Death Note fan and my favorite characters with my favorite dynamic is the successors and that whole arc. And yet there are a lot of (majority of...) fans of the show who prefer L. =/ Damn fangirls...

I love L, too, but I am certanly a Near fan as well. :-D Near just wasn't as good at making the audience go O_O, and Mell, or Mello, or whatever his name is, was just kinda lame.

 

[chaosyoshimage]

OT: Gunstar Heroes. I haven't yet met one person/friend on this website or in real life that has heard of that game.

Hey, fellow Gunstar Heroes fan here! I have the original on Genesis and the GBA sequel. Played the sequel first and bought it brand new. My introduction to the wonderful world of Treasure. Now, I kind of want to play it again, but I could never beat either, I suck...

 

[Agayek]

So what's yours? What do you love in loneliness?

Probably the one I get the most flak for liking is Jar Jar Binks. I simply can't see what's so offensive about him. He holds the idiot ball basically full time, but he's genuimely likeable, in that clumsy puppy kind of WY.

 

[ToastiestZombie]

For me its pretty much just my gaming tastes. I dont like CoD (except for zombies), I only have the 06 version of Fifa. The games I like are Team Fortress 2, Fallout, Civ 5 and a much bigger variety of games. Whereas all my friends just play CoD and Fifa.
