Title: Things you used to like that you realize now were stupid.
Post by: Linkman on December 03, 2008, 07:53:17 PM
There has to be something that you once liked a lot but as you grew older, you saw how stupid it was or how childish it was.

For me, I think it was TV. I still watch TV from time to time, but it just doesn't seem to have the same appeal it used to have.  Partially because there's not really anything good on TV, but when I was younger I used to watch cartoons and other shows all the time, maybe because I didn't have a computer or any good video games.

So what's yours?


(I couldn't think of anything else to post and felt like we needed a new topic.   Also, I think a thread like this might exist already, and I might have posted it....)

Role-playing

It's just kind of stupid now. I still like D&D, but things on the computer or real life with sticks is just stupid.

Nothing particularly, since  most of the stuff I'm "too old" for I can go back and do/watch/play for nostalgia.

Beyblades come to mind. What a waste of my time, but we did have fun as kids with them. Television in general, really. Some shows are tolerable or good, but really, t.v. just isn't original or interesting anymore.

Play-Doh. I could sit and play for hours with that poop when I was 4-8, then I was introduced to Legos.

Legos = Absolute win.

I think the worst thing I was into was musical groups like the Backstreet Boys and N*SYNC and all that crap.  Good thing I got out of that and into good music through video game MIDIs.

Our school just got a Trading Card Game Club (TCGC!) that does Pokémon, Magic, and Yu-Gi-Oh!...surprisingly, most people are playing Pokémon there.  It's like it resurged from the depths.  It was founded by seniors :D
