"My Guilty Pleasure" (I am Dave [exclamation mark] Yognaut and I have the balls!!!)

The Animated Version
The Original
Dear Reader.


The yogscast is one of my guilty pleasures I find them really funny, especially their Mine Craft series. And though you may be thinking "well it could be worse" I can tell you what makes it worse is I have never played a single minute of MineCraft ever, in my entire life, not a single second logged on this game, I do not own a copy and yet thanks to their videos I probably know more about this game and subsequent games that they've done (portal for example) that I could probably accuse someone else who plays the game, of being a Noob. Perhaps its their charm and wit, perhaps its the fact that when they play they never really take it seriously, perhaps its that at one point in my life I was a gamer too and I'd like to keep in touch with my nerd heritage but either way, I try to never miss a single episode, and there are hundreds of them.


I don't like the phrase "guilty pleasure" anyway, I shouldn't really use it, because, when people say their guilty pleasures its always something that wouldn't make someone that guilty. Its always, "spaghetti hoops, ABBA music and soap operas", not "crystal meth, chronic masturbation and child pornography".

All that person is saying when they tell you their "guilty pleasures is "these are the things that I do that are on the border of being taboo, these are the things that I almost feel guilty about but feel innocent enough that I'm willing to talk about them." Ultimately it tells you very little about the deep down darkness of their lives and the things they actually feel guilty about.
