Title: What are your guilty pleasures, EB?
Post by: Rman on February 18, 2009, 12:39:39 PM
I know we fashion ourselves as arbiters of taste here, but a well rounded individual has guilty pleasures that he or she enjoys from time to time.  I'll list some of mine.

--Celebrity gossip-yes I find myself reading Us and Star from time to time.  I have a colleague who brings them in to work and I can't help myself.  It's almost therapeutic to read about other people's problems.

--Herooes--nuff said

--Cheesy, low budget, straight to video movies

--80s music, especially pop.

Life is too short to feel guilty about your pleasures.

Transformers.

Anything from the horror genre.

70s vintage pornography.

I liked the N64.

I bought a copy of Empire of Shadows when I was a teenager.

Actually, probably video games. After a 2-3 hour gaming session I usually feel guilty that I could have done something better with my time.

Oh fuck, I forgot:

the internets.  God I feel so bad after wasting hours and hours on the internets accomplishing nothing.

-- I'm a bit into Horoscopes... even though I don't even take heed of the messages. Compatibility is an area I may act on though ;_;

--  Richard Marx, I like two of his tracks (Hazard, Endless Summer Nights)

-- Definitely 80's music

-- I'm a sap, so I tend to listen to music for saps

some genre fiction is some of the best fiction being made.

unless you're regularly picking up stuff from Baen.  Then I can't help you.

my own guilty pleasure is probably 80s superhero comics.

Man, Reagan done fucked up our national psyche

Exactly the same as yours, minus heroes.

I always browse people/us weekly and I have a decent number of celeb gossip blogs I read.  :-\

- Bad hip hop/R&B (awesome to dance to)
- clothing/fashion communities on livejournal
- Those 'real life' stories in trashy magazines, like 'my mum had my brother's baby' or whatever
- Nip/Tuck

I could go on...

emphasis on the quotation marks, though I suppose I should have said "less bad". Dan Abnett's stuff is not unreadable.

Magic: The Gathering novels.  I absolutely love them.  My favorite block was Odyssey.  Favorite character and storyline was Chainer for some reason.

jrpgs

See, I really have no compunctions about playing jrpgs.  I probably should, but I don't play the konex stuff... well, I did play Xenosaga I and II last year... damn, what have I become?   :(
Title: Re: What are your guilty pleasures, EB?

Yeah, Xenosaga is pretty bottom rung. I've only really played I and partially II. But this is coming from someone who likes Xenogears :'(

I like Xenogears a lot, despite its flaws... thought Xenosaga 1 was horrible and don't even want to play the others (since I hear 2 is even worse than the first one).

- I love pop music.  Except in the past 3 years.  Stuff from the 80s, 90s, and earlier this decade, I love it.

- The internet.  I complain about the thousands upon thousands of hours and words wasted here but it needs repeating.  I tell nobody in real life what I do on the internet.  They probably assume that it's porn.

-Anime that no self-respecting adult male should ever watch, much less admit to watching.

-The 1980's, even though I barely remember anything at all from that decade due to being born at the tail end of 1986.

Target: Terror- I've played many better light gun shooters, but it never takes itself seriously, so it's all good.  :-*

Hell, any video game made by Eugene Jarvis will fall under this category.

Hm, also Nickelback and the Fast and the Furious films, too.  :-*

Those shitty Korean MMOS that are released to the US every other day
General [M]ayhem
Linkin Park
Swat Katz  
Porn(WHY CANT I STOP)

Dirty Pop was produced by none other than BT, that's probably why it's the only boy-band/Justin Timberlake/bubblegum pop song I can stand to listen to.

I've been hearing John Mayer, Where the light is, Live, on my MP3 the last couple of days.

I really like it. I don't know if i should feel guilty about it though!?
