Oh hell yes to the mention of Deadly Women.

Which reminded me: Dateline mysteries. Keith Morrison and his ridiculous narration is a love/hate relationship for me, but they're favorites to put on when I'm working on something and need mindless entertainment.

"The Man Who Cannot Deadlift"

In light of everyone posting about reality TV I want to say RuPaul's Drag Race since it's the only reality TV I watch, but it's actually amazing and doesn't belong in this thread. Give it a shot if you're already watching other crap.

For actual content...some of the anime I enjoy. I try to avoid the real crap but I know the average person would probably think at least half of the stuff I enjoy is total poo poo.

Warhammer 40K. I have a ton of knowledge about the series because I find it hilarious and awesome. I just love reading about the lore and all the ridiculous poo poo that goes on in it. I know its dumb, but that's part of why I enjoy it. Some things are genuinely cool and I love the designs for the aliens and machines. I love looking at painted miniatures because some people do really cool stuff with them.

I'm not sure if the fact that I've spent 0$ on the actual game makes this more or less pathetic. I'd love to play it but I don't have the money to spend on building and painting an army of angry little plastic soldiers.

The solution here is to do what I do and just play the everloving poo poo out of the Dawn of War games, because they're great. Never spent a penny on tabletop 40K, but I love it because it's so ridiculous and like you I'm all about that poo poo.

I play every Dragon Quest game that comes out near religiously, and am fanatical about the Monsters series. I'm furious the MMO hasn't come out here, and would buy the special edition Monsters 2 3ds in a heartbeat if the poo poo wasn't region locked.


Also, I still like 80s horror films. The worse the better.

I still love Lacuna Coil....well, specifically their first album Comalies. It's one of those rare albums were drat-near every song is great. The haunting, desperate voiced female vocals mixed with a dude who sounds like a rejected Van Halen cover band frontman just somehow works, like salt n' vingar potato chips. Now the rest of their albums...meh.

I have some terrible musical loves such as the B-52s and ska. I will never apologize.

Also sadwiches are something I do a lot too! Mine involve white bread, margarine, bland as poo poo turkey and that's it. Creole seasoning if I want taste but why made a sadwich if you want to taste something?

Also pizza lunchables. About once a year I crave them for some odd reason even though they taste terrible and I feel ill whenever I do eat them. I just can't help myself when that craving hits.

I was at the right age when nu-metal became a thing and I pretty much swallowed it up, these days I don't listen to it apart from Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit.

I love Come dine with me to, I don't know if you have this show outside of the UK but it basically involves 5 people taking it in turns to host dinner parties then rating each other's efforts, it'd be dull as hell I'd it didn't have a narrator who's a bit of a sarcastic prick.

Grey's Anatomy. I love sitting down and watching the next episode with the wife. I don't know, the melodrama, the hosed up relationships, the politics, it's all fun to me.

Rifts. I love Rifts. It's really terrible. Unless you've played it, you just don't know.

Yellow Zingers. I buy like one package a month and eat them nice and slow. They're awful, terrible, but I like them.

lovely B Movies. We aren't talking what most people say are B movies, like the latest Transformers or Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Things like "Toxic Redneck Zombie Massacre TWO!" or "Dead Next Door" or "Aliens Ate my Cat!" REALLY lovely B movies. Get some friends, smoke a bowl, and watch a lovely movie.

Imitation krab, straight from the package or in that crappy seafood salad you get at Subway.

Corn nuggets. Like, those battered and fried balls of creamed corn you only ever see at school cafeterias and bad barbecue restaurants. They're irresistible.

Antibacterial soap, even though it's unnecessary, and helps breed resistant bacteria. I just really like how the yellow Dial looks and smells. :(

Isn't most antibacterial soap just using alcohol, not actual antibiotics? So your not actually making the colony any more resistant medication.

They seem like a happy, pleasant, inoffensive family. The show is bad reality stuff that's fun to watch for how happy they all are all the time and how much fun they seem to have, and I even understand mocking the parents for how unattractive and redneck they are, but some of the hate and abuse that little girl gets is sickening, she's a sweet happy little child who's never done anything to hurt anyone in her life. :( Alana is adorable.

80s action movies (that thing someone earlier said about Commando being the best movie ever? 100% correct) and the Call Of Duty games. Like, I'm not gonna be buying any more of them 'cause gently caress me if I'm giving any more money to Activision, but I'm sure as hell gonna boot up MW2 every once in a while when a buddy's over, drink some beer and blast some fuckers :hellyeah:

I used to trash on the show a fair amount until I read that the mom has been putting all the money the family earns from the show into a college fund for the kids. That, and they're pretty cool towards the LGBT community. :shobon: They're all right.

BBQ Pitmasters is a stupid show where nothing ever changes except the varying fatness of the competitors. Oh, really, you used salt, pepper and cayenne? So did everyone else who ever came on this show! On everything! It's a freaking smoked, sauced time-warp where the hosts overexplain every second like you just got a concussion. Playing a drinking game with this show would give you alcohol poisoning halfway into an episode.

But I will watch it all afternoon because it's loving barbecue porn and the last time I marathoned Pitmasters I ended up putting bbq sauce on a bagel just to get a sweet, sweet hit of that tangy bbq flavor. I will eat bbq sauce on cardboard and I will watch Pitmasters until my eyes fall out.

Nightwish. I don't like 99% of their back catalog because I've always felt like Tarja's voice was way too overpowered for the style of music they were playing. Floor is a much better vocalist, but Jesus Christ, Nightwish is soooo heavily keyboard driven and don't even get me started on the lyrics, which I'm pretty sure were vomited out of a 16 year old girl's brain. Also, I watched their film "Imaginerium" and enjoyed it. There is really nothing redeeming about it, and it is one of the most paper thin plots I've seen in a fantasy film in ages.

60's Hammer horror films. Cheesy as poo poo, but I love them. They are slow, they take god drat forever to get vaguely interesting, and in the Dracula ones, they kill him off in increasingly silly ways. I still love them because I love overwrought gothic nonsense films.

Cradle of Filth Pre-2003. They were my favorite band for a good two or three years back in high school, and I own physical copies of almost everyone of their albums. I can't listen to anything they released from 03-07 because it's awful.

Symphonic Black Metal. And not the stuff that's actually kinda OK, I mean the really absurd poo poo. Really most metal from Scandinavia that includes a keyboard or badly translated English lyrics about Satan and I'm there.

Rawhead Rex. It's not a good movie at all. But a Gwar reject monster pees on a priest. It's kina amazing.

Gonna nth reality cooking shows. There's something about watching people trying to make a dessert with matza, durian, and some obscure spice from a third world nation no one's ever heard of that just entertains the poo poo out of me.

Also terrible horror flicks. Troma flicks, hammer flicks. Dead Alive. The classic '80s slasher lineup. The Sleepaway Camp movies. I love them, and I don't even have the excuse of being stoned.

When I read for pleasure it is almost always teen, paranormal fantasy fiction. Not the smutty "I slept with a werewolf" intended for adults. I read my 16 year old daughter's books. They are easy reads with good character development. I stand by this.

I also love reality cooking shows. And when I mentioned Big Brother earlier, I didn't mention that I get obsessed. I have 3 different message boards I check, have the live feeds on in the background when I'm home, and watch the show with my daughter. I would go on the show but I'd probably suck at it and get kicked off first and cry.

Hand sanitiser contains alcohol and is fine. It won't clean your hands like soap does, so if you've got actual dirt or something on your hands then you should use soap and water, but if your hands are basically clean and you just want to sanitise them then it's totally fine. Antibacterial soap is a separate thing and it does contribute to the problem of super-germs and doesn't even work any better than regular soap anyway.

The thread is not for awesome poo poo you love, son. :colbert:

Space Empires V is a kludgy and often awkward 4X which most series fans consider inferior to IV, an assessment which is not hard to defend. Also whatever way it was programmed leaves it with an unplayably low FPS on modern systems. It's also one of my favorite 4X games ever and I'm sorely tempted to set up a rig just to play this game because I miss it.
