    Does Watching An Old TV Show Make You Feel Old? Like whenever I watch the old 1st Season of Pokemon back when there was only 151 types, I feel super old and I miss those days a lot. Even only being 15 years old, it seems like it was an eternity ago. Now looking back on moments of playing with Gameboy Colors, dueling with Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards, I really miss those old days.

    Sometimes some certain characters or objects would seem to remind me the most of those days. A big one for me is my friend is a big Pikachu Collector and it reminds me of back when I saw my first Pokemon show, and I instantly was hooked. Even at my age I will sometimes turn on my GBA and play Pokemon Yellow and stuff.

    Idk, is it just me or does anyone else feel that way?

    I know I am not that older but you're really making me feel like a geezer. I remember when the the Original Gameboy was popular! Heck the NES system was still cool. Pokemon Cards, Power Rangers, Anamaniacs, KidsWB. Man I'm old.

    I am the same way. The new stuff sucks so much. I am not really embarrassed to say that yes I still love the old 150. I love the games the first 2 movies. But now its starting to get really stupid. My sister watches the show and I sometimes hear it and they dont even have the same characters.

    WTF.

    First Pokemon dies, then Zac Effron is Light Yagami.

    The description is hilarious!
    Duke Nukem is an arcade/adventure game like none ever seen on an IBM PC. It features huge four-way, dual-scrolling playfields with realistic graphics, and animation.

    and I had a 8-bit SEGA console called Sega Master System (I was a fan of SEGA consoles before they shut them down sad.gif)

    including probably the hardest agme i played: Shinobi and one of them ost awesome: Gauntlet, some game called kung fu kid, a moto game, tazmania, a tennis game, some zelda ripoff, the lion king, sonic, street fighter, and some other game where you could transform into a super robot or something (E-SWAT)

    I remember when I was younger I played Monkey Island and GTA 1 a lot. We also had the original gameboy with this '101 games in 1' cartridge, that was pretty cool I guess. Captain Planet is awesome, he had the best one-liners.

    The first time I played Wolfenstein 3D and Doom (yes, I'm sure they were the originals, but ported to PSP tongue.gif) was couple of months ago huh(1).gif. Pretty awesome games IMO, even by today's standards (not so much graphics, but they are just so damn fun).

    Also a tip, if you are having fun. smell something with a distinctive smell, when you smell it next you will feel happy because your brain is reminded <3

I would go every week and buy yu gi oh cards from the card store I lived by and open them as fast as i could, only to find that it didnt have what i wanted. Ide like to go back and relive those days, just to see what it was like

    i still listen to the backstreet boys


    lol.....
    i dont hate them because they're out of date, nor because they are/appear "gay"
    i hate them for the same reason i hate any music now days, because its manufactured and shit

    but i may sometimes listen to them ironically
    infact, i'll do it now
