Fuck it, more video games.


Used to play this every day I got home from school. Good times actually. Also, I was usually eating these while playing:

[brainiac3397]

I hated sports video games. My friends played that FIFA game non-stop. I would just get bored so shitless, it would appear to outside observers that I might be high(when I wasn't. I was just trying to keep myself from shoving my head through the nearest brick wall).

[Trar]

My mother used to put classic Doctor Who on, among other British shows that I used to hate but now like somewhat (Absolutely Fabulous, All Creatures Great & Small, those are the only two that actually come to mind right now).

[James Comey]

Speaking of more TV shows, I wonder if you remember this, Trar:


Always had a visceral hatred of this show, yet I started liking it because it was the only thing on to watch.

Ah, crap. I remember that. Part of me liked it and part of me hated it.

And now the theme song is stuck in my head. Unfortunately it was one of the parts of the show I immensely hated, and still do. Aargh.

[Trar]

Oh man I used to LOVE that show. It was taken off the air for a year or so back when I watched it, and I was nearly convinced that meant the end of quality television. Not so hot on it now

I kinda miss 12 Little Monsters. George Shrinks was great too. Caillou AFAIK is still on the air, even if it also still plays host to some truly abominable YouTube Poops.

[James Comey]

Caillou always gave me the creeps. I remember back in the day there were rumors Caillou was supposed to die of cancer or something.

Also, did anyone here grow up watching classic Scooby-Doo?

[Ky]

I saw SOME classic Scooby-Doo, but it was mixed in with various other forms (some of which included the accursed Scrappy).

[brainiac3397]

Generally I like bald people...but caillou was just disturbing.

[Night]

Pft you guys are lame.

Hidden stuff:

And that's far from it. Sorry, no games. I didn't have that kind of money as a kid.

[Ky]

NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD

Kid me was a weird little dude.

[brainiac3397]

Well that's /thread.

Night broke my computer, and probably covered the entire Nostalgia aspect(minus video games).

On to Nostalgia Thread Number 3:the 19th century!

[Night]

Oh please, that's far from it. There are still soooo many shows I didn't cover. I made sure not to get everything.

You guys just never watched enough tv O^O

[brainiac3397]

LIE!

I watched so much TV, 70% of the radiation that laces my body is from it.

Though perhaps I was more the video game. Anyone ever try licking those video/audio cables you plug into the TV from the console? I did that with the ones of my N64. The electric tingling always felt so good(though you don't want to keep it on your tongue or it burns. Just tap it around for a short time. The metallic taste and electric shock was addicting).

[James Comey]

Not a specific game or TV show, but rather a memory.

I remember back when I was 5-7 (basically, around 2001-03), I remember how night time peaked my curiosity. I remember always wanting to go out in the night time. I always thought that strange things like monsters and cartoon characters happened at night. Now being 16 though, the monsters are street criminals and the closest thing you get to a cartoon character is a guy that's insane who thinks that he is one.

[Ky]

I'm Batman.

[brainiac3397]

I'm Freeman. This here is my crowbar...his name is Joe.

[Ky]

I half-expect Vatman to show up. Not to say "I'm Vatman" in response to what I said, but to announce that he's back again and somehow derail this thread further in the process.

[Trar]

I faintly remember Vatman. I remember Sagwa more strongly. God damn that was a good show. Most of the other stuff in that post I am not familiar with, though, or at least I didn't see it back in the day. Only really watched PBS.

[brainiac3397]

I watched PBS till we got cable. Then I watched Discovery. Then I discovered Military channel.

If only cable price was based on how many channels you really wanted. I mean, I don't need the 100 other channels if all I watch is SyFy(their new name last I checked),Discovery,History,National Geographic, Science and Military channel. Maybe AMC and Fx(was that the channel that showed various movies?).

So basically local channels, and 8 cable channels, and I have to pay for all those channels I don't watch.

Plus, what the hell would I want Spanish shows? I don't even speak it. I'm not paying for channels in a language I don't know -_-

[James Comey]

I remember that I would only be able to watch PBS Kids because we had no cable. It wasn't till 2005 when we got permanent cable. But even back then after 5:30PM when PBS Kids ended there wasn't much to watch if you were a kid. Yeah, a bunch of newscasts, paid programming, some Latin American TV soap operas and maybe a few prime time movies that you didn't recognize or care about, maybe a sports event. Oh, there were also repeats of Friends, Seinfeld, and those other shows as well.

[brainiac3397]

Haven't had cable for a while. Now all I need is internet.

[Night]

I grew up haivng Direct TV. There were some channels that had some pretty strange shows.

And some of the things i put there are Probably more specific to me. A lot of what I watched was what my parents would put on TV.

So M.A.S.H Is another show that's really nostalgic since my parents would watch it all the time.




That one came back..



Come on, King Kong from 1933 anyone? I've seen it multiple times.

[James Comey]

If we're talking about movies, one I used to watch all the time was Monsters Inc and also the Toy Story series. Speaking of Toy Story, I remember I used to have some Toy Story books.

[vonunov]

Ah, I loved MASH. Don't go, Radar. I crai evertim

I didn't list it because I was thinking this was for stuff we were actually there for when it was out.

But, you did remind me (somehow) of:



I literally cried at the end of the series finale, no joke.

... Shut up, I was ten.

Also, Robot Wars.

[LadyKira]

On Saturday mornings I used to watch these shows:

Hidden stuff:

(The blonde had a lollipop)

and so on...
I also used to watch Arthur and other pbs shows when my family couldn't afford cable.

[James Comey]

Yu Gi Oh. I remember when that was the shit back then, and everyone had the cards. Nowadays not so much.

[brainiac3397]

I cried at the ending of Battlestar Galactica(the remake or whatever). Well...teared up would be more accurate. Then again I did binge watch the entire series in about 2 weeks(including movies). Got pretty hooked to it. Even had mood swings deciding whether Gaius Baltar was a total idiot, pitiful fool, bastard who should die, crazy egotist or savior...

[Alucard483]

Ohh .. I haven't thought about decent in forever
