I would have to say The Sims 3. I tend to pride myself on being a tomboy and playing games that aren't generally aimed at a female audience. So as irrational as it is, to have a game that's sometimes seen as "girly" is a bit embarrassing.

Yet I keep my copy of Okami in clear view. Go figure.

It's not nearly as good as an example as some of those already listed but that's my personal one.

I want to own some anime stuff like those cool Muv Luv Alternative mechs or some anime characters that I think look cool.

But I will surely get strange looks by my whole family for that -_-

Wait, you have a sexy screensaver (possibly furry, possibly yaoi, possibly both), and you think people will make fun of you for having sexy shoes?

People are weird.
It's true! *runs away crying, and hides in weird-closet* I can only assume because that's something I've been into since I was a teenager it's not a big deal for me, but getting into this "new kink" if you can call it that is a bit more scary and alien, which is why I'm worried about it?

Getting all Freudian on my own ass here!
Well, I am a Psychology/Philosophy major, so that obviously makes me an expert on such matters as Freud. :p
And that's not Freudian, as he'd just say you were dumb and are jealous of the fact that you don't have a penis.[footnote]Dude LOVED penises.

Also cocaine.[/footnote]

To wrap up the sexy-clothes talks, you can also go with corsets. Those are always fun. :3

Anyways, you don't seem weird. You seem pretty cool, and very entertaining.

I've always wanted a Power Rangers costume, and a proper full one too..
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

YOU SHOULD DO THAT.

1. A $200 shirt that I keep looking at whenever I go to town. I've already wasted over $800 on a shopping spree last month and it made a huge dent on my budget. I'm the best dressed guy in my workplace, though.

2. Even though I don't have any problems with women: a fleshlight. I just wanna know how they feel.

3. A Pokemon TCG deck. Biggest problem is only kids play them in my area. All the grown-up nerds play MTG, which I don't mind.

4. And finally a remote control flying shark:


EDIT: Forgot to show how it looks like in action:

Well McDonalds are still selling the happy meals with MLP toys here in Aus (I think) but I don't have the guts to go buy one. Seriously I already know how that's gonna go down:
Front counter guy: 'Hello, what would you like to order?'
Me: 'Hi, can I please get a Happy meal with a girls toy.'
'... Is ... Is that all?'
'Yeah, that's it.'
'... Sir, please get the fuck out of my fine establishment.'

I want BomberMan Act Zero...
I have no idea why, but it just calls to me with the siren song of extreme ridiculousness that I can't ignore.

I kind of want an old military rifle, like a Mauser or Mosin Nagant...
I'm a bit north of you (B.C. Canada) and I get a lot of weird looks when I state my appreciation for firearms. I have lists of guns I'd love to have, but my tops would be a Colt Navy 1861, a Martini-Henry Mk. IV, a Mosin-Nagant M91/30, and a Lee-Enfield Mk.4
I'm also in B.C., and I live in a town where almost everyone loves firearms... Then again, most of the conversations I hear in one day are about trucks and/or trucks getting stuck in mud, so... yeah...

A few Bronies around town though, so that kind of balances the equation a bit. ^.^

Easily solved, just ask for a regular combo meal as well. That way it will look like you are buying it for your daughter or if your not old enough for that, little sister maybe?

Or hell just wear a pony t-shirt and walk in and display some balls (in a figurative way i mean) and order one. Who is he to say no.

You must be in the Interior or Northern BC...I'm on Vancouver Island, almost hippy central.

Gay furry comics, which is odd because i do not care if they know but it is just awkward to explain.
Guess what my desktop screensaver looks like =D. Some friends are creeped out by it (ESPECIALLY the male ones!), but it's cute and sexy Oo.
Yeah my desktop is gay furry porn. Strangely enough it and all the clothes keep people I want out out and thus i will never change the desk top or my drop my shirt on the floor ways. What a strange thing to find solace in the fact that only your mate two closest friends can stand your living quarters. Heck I even slept with my male best friend over it after he found it cute, I had no idea he was into guys before he said that and then boom, threesome.

What an off topic rant that was... well this is about having no shame I suppose. /post

I'm still in highschool and my parents are trying to sell the house we're living in right now so they decide exactly what possessions are on display in my room to give a better impression on people that might tour the house.

Some of my really old possessions are on display, stuffed toys and stuff. :/

I'm not ashamed I own these possessions it's just I'd rather not have them on display is all, everyone was a child once.

Maybe I will try that. Maybe I will man up and do it. Or, seeing as I'm buying a MLP toy, man 'down', whatever.

Several have already been mentioned... A little embarrassed to mention them(for various reasons) so I suppose you'll just have to guess. XP

But to name some that haven't...

-A body pillow or very long and big plush animal. My most comfortable position to sleep in is on my side clinging to something(Ask anyone that has had to share a bed with me. Turns out I do it in my sleep.) But it seems that the words 'body pillow' tend to bring up some very uh... Awkward images for a lot of people.

-I confess to having a love of the magazine Seventeen... I kind of have a love for make-up and clothes and it tends to address both. The way it treats the subject of sex is very respectable in my eyes as well. Plus it usually has daily giveaways, coupons out the ying-yang and at least one page each issue dedicated to saving money. Yet... It feels awkward to have them lying around. I always feel like I'll be thought less of for enjoying them. Thankfully it's possible to subscribe digitally so now I just keep it on my e-reader and no one is the wiser(and I save more space. Those things take up space quickly!)

-It's less an issue now that I'm in art school but when I was in high school I was pretty much the only one interested in becoming an artist. When I really started getting serious I started buying anatomy books. Anatomy books that include nudes. Frankly I was used to it and had accepted the naked form as being beautiful in it's own way and as not always being sexual... But it is still awkward as hell to explain to your teacher or classmates why you have a book of nudes in your bag(Thankfully the teachers were okay since they understood it was an artistic thing. Classmates generally got it since I was 'artsy', though I did get the occasional immature jerk.)

-Just about any girl-focused romance game(Or 'Otome' as they are sometimes called). I confess that the reason I want them is a little pathetic so it makes me feel worse to even consider getting any of them.

-Lastly I really want to buy new copies of Dragon Age:O+2 and the Mass Effect games. But with EA's name being mud right now it feels almost... Shameful to do so. And not even necessarily because I have a problem with EA. But that others do. It's frustrating since it seems like a game I really want to play...
