Watch the Footage

Meh. I spent my entire childhood the way any self-respecting shut in should. Sitting indoors, a soda in my hand, watching anime and writing incredibly verbose fantasy shorts/roleplay posts.

Every night, Teen Titans/Shinzo/Spiderman/X-Men, one episode each. I still like all these shows (Shinzo mostly through Nostalgia Filter). In fact, the only reason I'm not still doing this is because JETIX went away.

The Legacy of Kain series. Oh MAN. I lost so many nights to Soul Reaver. And then I had to have every game in the series, for completeness' sake.

And Sailor Moon! I wrote so many crappy Sailor Moon fanfics back in the day. SO MANY. Most of which, thankfully, I never posted anywhere.

My bro completed SR1 on a crappy Pentium. Talk about willpower.

Forgot to mention one thing. Prehistorik 2. The PC one. The most beautiful 2d arcade ever (disclaimer: probably not. ). It was also one of the few games with PC Speaker sounds that didn't make me want to claw my ears out.
And Supaplex, which I still haven't completed. It was too fast even for the aforemented crappy Pentium, so I had to use the AntiTurbo, which made the game jerky and unpleasant.

I was one of the lucky '90s protonerds who had a video-gamer father. He wasn't hardcore, but I got exposed early. When I was five or so we'd play point-and-click adventures together (by "together" I mean my dad doing the actual pointing and clicking and myself looking over his shoulder and bursting out laughing every so often). I think my favorite was either Day of the Tentacle or The Neverhood.

Someone else actually played Day of the Tentacle!

Okay I suspect I may regret this in the future, but I'll bite... WHAT does The Day of the Tentacle invovle?

Time travel, radioactive sludge from a mad scientist's lab, and a lot of weird ass puzzles. And a hamster.

That's actually tamer than I was expecting. I'm half dissapointed and half relieved.

I remember playing Donkey Kong 64 on the 64 forever at my Mom's house. Man, that game was fun. I'm still afraid of the Jack-in-The-Box boss Tiny had to fight in Frantic Factory.

I also remember that cool fight with the fake King K. Rool and the final fight with him. Those were awesome and funny!

I'm still waiting for Rare to come back and make a sequel. I doubt that will happen, BUT IF IT DOES...

Not so fast. It also invloves pushing an old lady down the stairs.
You dirty-dirty mind.

I have absoluely no idea whatsoever what you're talkin about, Dryu, dear.

Yep, you totally don't.

I also remember loving Pokemon. I've played ten of the games, yet I (honestly) think my favorite one would be Pokemon Channel. I don't know why, but that game was ADDICTING. I wanted to collect every card, get every plushie, meet every Pokemon, and play every Pokemon Mini game.

Did you know that this game is actually one of the things I hope a MLP:FiM game would be? Shocking, but true!

I also spent a ton of time playing The Dark Heart of Uukrul. It's such an obscure RPG that it doesn't even have a TV Tropes page (oh wait, it does have a stub now ). And it's also pretty hardcore with a ton of puzzles. AND I didn't even know English properly when I played it. I think it would be Nintendo Hard even if I played it now (and no, I haven't even completed a quarter of it). Ah, the ambitions of the youth...

It helped that I was playing a cracked version without a fair portion of the puzzles without knowing it.
