Video Games That People Totally Judge You For Playing

So. You attempt to romance birds in the dating sim, Hatoful Boyfriend. BIRDS. It's shameful enough that you're playing a dating sim, but the embarrassment level gets further raised because you're trying to date actual, feathered birds. Even if you buy and play it as a gag, you're still going to be on the receiving end of plenty of bird-themed jokes if your friends catch you playing this fowl game. And yes, that was an example of one of the terrible puns you might hear while playing this embarrassment.

What's the weirdest thing you've done in real life? Was it sensually eat a popsicle? Probably, but one man got even weirder than you: he made an entire video game about the activity.

Succulent was apparently inspired by its creator watching a weird scene of a guy putting food in his mouth. So that answers why the game was made, but not the why? The entire video game features a scantily clad man, his mouth open, as you feed him a popsicle. In the background, two dudes (clones of him, maybe?) dance while he eats the popsicle. As the game goes on, the popsicle gets smaller and the game starts tripping out, with even weirder music and even weirder visuals. Was the popsicle laced with LSD?

Worse yet, once you feed him the popsicle ... the game loops all over again and begins anew. This is the disturbing popsicle treat that doesn't end. Yes it goes on and on, my friend.

The Imagine Babyz franchise has been going strong for years now, with Ubisoft pumping out a title every now and then for fans to enjoy. With Imagine Babyz 3D, you can witness all of the childcare fun in stereoscopic 3D. You play a babysitter who takes care of many rugrats, watching them grow up in eye-popping 3D. There's even a facial recognition feature that sort of creeps us out, but we suppose it's a cool way to play "peek-a-boo" with the little ankle-biters.

We apologize if it's your dream to travel around the world and create a babysitting business empire, but most folk won't be able to bite their tongues if they see you playing this game. It'll probably be especially worse if they see you playing peek-a-boo with your 3DS.

Maybe you have your sights set on the fashion world instead? Welcome to Style Savvy: Fashion Forward, where you can run a boutique, give people makeovers, design clothes, and just so much more. We're pretty sure your experiences won't be anything as wild or as crazy as Derek Zoolander's, but we're also sure that you'll get a lot of strange looks when you play this in public.

The game is pretty much a glorified dress-up game, but we won't fault you if that's what you're into. If you want to make your runway dreams come true, and can fashion enough real-life armor to not let the laughter of others get to you, then Style Savvy: Fashion Forward is the game for you.

This is one of the strangest games we've ever seen, and we're a little sad that more people haven't experienced it. This is Power Shovel, a PlayStation game released in the early Aughts that had you operating a large machine, called a power shovel, to perform tasks. These tasks could range from traversing mazes to using the shovel to swing at giant beach balls and ... cook delicious food.

It makes absolutely no sense, but it's kind of glorious. As cool as it is, you can bet that you'll get weird looks from anyone who sees you playing it. Hell, you'll be giving the screen the same look as you use the shovel to ladle curry onto beds of rice.

Do you want your friends to make fun of you and call you a pervert for the rest of your life? Then pick up a copy of Dead or Alive Xtreme 2! In this game, you play as the ladies from the Dead or Alive fighting game series, seemingly on vacation and taking a break from all of the bloodshed. Instead of duking it out in the ring, the girls bounce around a beach resort playing all kinds of games in skimpy bikinis. This is the series that perfected "boob physics," so the beach volleyball games are best played without an audience. And don't get us started on the fact that you can play dress-up with all of the girls. Yeesh.

In Lollipop Chainsaw, teen cheerleader Juliet Starling (voiced by the amazing Tara Strong), must face undead hordes while armed with a chainsaw. Because it's a collaboration between famed game designer Suda51 and filmmaker James Gunn, you can bet that Lollipop Chainsaw is full of over-the-top weirdness and violence. While most of that can be glossed over, what can't be ignored is the bouncy, kill-happy cheerleader you control. It's no surprise that Juliet's sexuality plays a big part in this game, especially since you can dress her up in a number of "sexy" alternate outfits, and can even win an achievement trophy for panning the camera to look up her skirt. Good luck explaining that particular achievement to your friends, or worse, your parents.

If 1994's Shaq-Fu were a regular fighting game, playing it wouldn't raise too many eyebrows. It's not a good fighter, but it'd just be some generic waste of time. However, since the hero of the game is Shaquille O'Neal, the Icy Hot guy who used to dabble in basketball, Shaq-Fu goes from forgettable to just plain ridiculous.

Shaq isn't fighting fellow basketball players, but rather aliens from a world called Second World. Yep! Shaq fights demons, cat women, and witches, with no armor but his basketball shorts and no weapons but his fists and feet.

Oh, and there's a story, because you don't just send a goofy jock into an evil dimension without a reason. Apparently, a mummy named Sett Ra has kidnapped a boy named Nezu, and an old man in a dojo believes Shaq is the only one who can save him. That's because Shaq is the "one from the stars" and "the magic one." Get it? He's an All-Star who plays for the Magic, so it's all one big wacky misunderstanding. Shaq volunteers anyway, so that's why he's battling mummies and lizard zombies instead of Hakeem Olajuwon. As for why you're playing his game, you'll have to think of a reason all by yourself.

Unless you're 4 years old, playing a Barney video game will do nothing but invite ridicule. That's not just because you're playing a game literally meant for toddlers — it's because you're playing a very stupid game meant for toddlers.

As you might expect, Barney's Hide and Seek Game is about hide-and-seek. As Barney, you find five friends and five presents, and then you've beaten the stage. Do that a handful of times, and you've won the game. Now, this is a children's game. It's not surprising that there's no conflict at all, that Barney can't get hurt or die, or that he stops and reminds you to "wait until it's safe" if you try to walk him off a cliff. It's for kids. But if finding curiously large-headed children is too tough for you, just put the controller down and Barney will walk to the end of the level. Yes, the game plays itself, rendering the whole thing completely pointless, even for an actual toddler.

If you find yourself playing this game for some reason, you've got a choice to make. You can either keep playing and enjoy plenty of quality alone time with your best dinosaur friend, or you can join your human friends and go do something else.

In today's world, where men and women play the same video games and the idea of "marketing to girls" grows more prehistoric by the day, just about any game starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen is going to look bad. Magical Mystery Mall, however, might just be the stupidest.

As you might expect, this game takes place in a magical mall. The Olsens buy a magical necklace that freezes the entire mall and traps them in it forever unless they can find the gems that will reverse the curse. They do that by playing mini-games like serving pizza, getting dressed up for a photoshoot, filming a music video, and stalking cute boys. Do that, and you're free!

Magical Mystery Mall is pure "this is for girls," right down to the intro where the kiosk witch who sold you the cursed bracelet cackles that, without the gems, the twins will be "stuck in the mall forever, with no money to buy a thing." The music video you film is, of course, for a Disney Channel-esque pop-n-lock fest. And rather than beat the snot out of the lady who knowingly sold you cursed jewelry, you actually apologize for messing up her business. Forget Magical Mystery Mall — fire up "Magical Mystery Tour" instead and reclaim your dignity.
