I know, I can't even imagine how the rest of y'all old folks feel.
Man, I still miss my glow-in-the-dark stars & planets on the ceiling of my bedroom. Even now, there are no words to express how amazingly, impossibly cool I found them to be.
The fact that I was too old for several of those entries when they were first released makes me feel even older. I've half a mind to hop on my rascal, drive over to Brant's place and fling Centrum Silver vitamin pills at him.
I'm too old/fat to run from you at this point...
#38 is clearly the most soul crushing.
But...WTF did people print with the GameBoy printer?
I'm guessing low quality porn images Gus.
^And probably in ascii art.
Man is drawn to boobs in all media forms. (.)(.)!!!
sigh...I turned forty-freaking-nine this month and I was diagnosed with Celiac disease (can't eat wheat / gluten). You know what I am going to miss? BEER! I can't freakin' drink real beer anymore. No more Guiness, Innes & Gunn, Harp, Boddingtons...not even a crappy Coors or Budweiser.
That's why I am feeling old...

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis Jack. There's no denying it will severely curtail your food and drink options...
But, strange as it sounds, there
are gluten-free beers. Some of them are even supposed to taste good. One, in fact, is from Dogfishhead (my favorite brewery for the last few years):
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/thrillist/6-gluten-free-beers-that_b_4549633.html
SW,
Hey, thanks for the note. I've already tried three GF beers - most have been underwhelming. I would be disinclined to try the Dogfishhead brew because it is a "fruity" beer which I never really liked. Corona is considered a GF beer because it is below "20 parts per million" rating required for GF foods, so I may be able to stick with that.
To be honest, being GF it's not really that big of a deal for me. Although I WILL miss good beers and things like Japadogs (a Vancouver thing), I have already lost 7 lbs over the past three months of being gluten free. I can still eat vietnamese pho, masa tacos, korean bibimbop, etc. But still...no Guiness. That's like no sex...
That sux, I did not know it was something that could happen later in life. I used to work with someone that had celiac, I thought it was something she had all her life. I could bring oats or rice to the office with no worries.
The only thing I played with on that list was the sticky hand. The sticky hand was great for pulling in the GF.
My problem is I know I'm turning 45 at the end of the summer, but I feel nothing like 45. I'm still an odd kid with a very immature sense of humor. I would build and play around with Legos if I could. I enjoy Spongebob Squarepants at times. I would play the hell out of an RPG if I could find a local group of like-minded adults. I would race remote control cars and build models if I could. (I can't because I have a spouse that has little tolerance for such things. Funny how THEY change, too...)
The only place where I actually feel I'm getting old is the spot where my tolerance of younger people gets incrementally thinner and thinner as time passes. The whole "whatever" attitude and general lack of empathy and ambition is starting to frost my shorts. But - I know this is just how it's ALWAYS been between older and younger generations.
See? SEE? Using language like "frost my shorts" isn't a good sign, either. :(
I'm pretty sure 95% of you are pretty much the same way.

Exactly. You have to grow old, but don't have to grow up!
I'll be 49 in about a month. And I'm finally old enough to buy all the games I want.... :P
Yipes!! I felt quite old reading that list as mostly all of it had little or no resonance for me.
I grew up with greeny stick-em cap guns, those rubbery/plastic soldiers that you had to put little silver plastic guns, helmets, and belts on, pea shooters, and of course, warriors of the world by Marx! I also liked Captain Kangaroo.

What's your problem? That all sounds pretty normal to me ;)
I'm 38 and I didn't "get" or understand half of these. A lot of it seemed like stuff for nerds and the age range for it doesn't make sense. (he wants to marry Christie Brinkley but is young enough to play with Jurassic Park toys?!)So I'm asking you forum members, since many of you seem like geeks to me, did you get it? (I'd put a shite eating grin face here but I don't know how)
What's the story with #1? I seriously would like an answer, please.
I never used or played with or saw the following #'s 1,3,5,6,7,8, 10- I had to be around 18 when I first had an Altoid, and they only had mint at the time! 11,13,15,16,18,21,23,27,30,31,33,35,36,37,38-I always had to check in at around noon/one-ish. That was a major rule which I unfortunately violated several times because the war/baseball game was too good!
What age range is this supposed to be for? The only thing I liked was the "make-out" tape and again like the Altoids, I was not really a kid when I had one. This list blows
Du Waffen SS Avatar ist uncool, dude.
If a historical ww2 propaganda poster bothers you, I have no problem changing it.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate it. Thank you.
Well, since you have read my post. WHAT DOES #1 MEAN??????
No new Disney VHS releases. Not for a long time. The plastic cases have a very distinctive smell. That's all.
I wasn't a kid when those came out but my kids were kids then so I get that one.
I guess VHS tapes have a smell? Kind of like new car smell? And seeing as they don't make VHS tapes any more, something you won't experience any more.
I don't think the cassettes actually had the "smell" as I was still getting VHS tapes well into the late 90's.(ok so it was porn) As Staggerwing posted, it is the smell from the plastic Disney VHS boxes that had the distinct , although apparently pleasurable oder. I'm guessing it was comparable to the fresh copies from your grammar school printer. Now that was a little bit of heaven I will never smell again

Tent - "Nevermind" was a collection of songs from a band called "Nirvana" from back when you had to buy little round shiny discs to put into a "CD player" to hear the music. There was none of this just-click-and-download-the-song crap back then.

I thought so too. That movie was a milestone of my youth. 25 years...fuck.
A good characterization for those of us in our 40s came out in a discussion today
Fast Times at Ridgemont High was our freshman year of high school
Sixteen Candles was our sophomore year
The Breakfast Club was our junior year
Say Anything was our senior year
and then we all grew up really fast, because Singles was our mid-20s, even though it came out not long after Say Anything. There just weren't any particularly good (post-)college movies for our generation, mainly because St Elmo's Fire was about 6 years too early and a bit of a mess.
Pretty in Pink might fit in there somewhere, but none of us are going to admit to it.
you forget Dead Poets Society.
and Heathers.
^Good calls, Star.
Rivers Edge was pretty huge too. Not that I knew it in 1986, but later...
Damn it but you guys are making it worse. My High-school movies were Star Wars, Alien, The Blues Brothers, and Apocalypse Now.

This wasn't about "these are the best movies from the 80s" but rather "these are the movies that embodied our time in high school in the 80s"
Animal House, Stripes, Alien, and Beverly Hills Cop are great flicks, but they aren't exactly anything that any of us really
lived through the way we did these four.
Beverly Hills Cop was the first movie I was allowed to watch with curse words.
A guy I know posted this on his forum (http://www.boards2go.com/boards/board.cgi?action=read&id=1397742961.12507&user=currahee) and it fits right in here:
Quote from: Jerry"And then it is winter. - Author Unknown
You know. . . time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.
But, here it is... the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go?
I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.
But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting grey...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me...but, I see the great change...Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be. Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore...it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will...I just fall asleep where I sit!
And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this earth...its over. A new adventure will begin!
Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done...things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime.
So, if you're not in your winter yet...let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly.
So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!!
"Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one...."
There's more, but that should suffice.

Time for a Wargames remake

I'd still do Ally Sheedy. It helps my aging process that The Wife looks just like her circa The Breakfast Club, sans dandruff and with far superior ta tas.
Okay seriously, given all the different women you say The Wife looks like, she's gotta be about the most shagadelic brunette between the Mississippi and Atlantic seaboard. We're gonna have to see a picture someday!

I think she looks better than Loni today. I think it's safe to say that Loni has had a little work done.
it's an animatronic LMD Loni. the real one's been cryogenically frozen since Stroker Ace
Stroker Ace...thanks Brant, now I feel even older :(
I figured someone would get the reference...
Stroker Ace...good Lord. I made the mistake of looking up what Loni Anderson looks like now...don't do it.
Never mind the fact that there are only half as many of them in the anniversary pic. I know Gordon Jump passed away. What happened to the rest?

I'm always going to disagree with you on that one (although I'll grant it's a very close second). For me, TMP will always still hold that dubious honor.
TMP was an hour too long. Properly edited it would have been alright. At least it was somewhat serious sci-fi.
I did the math the other day, and as near as I can tell, the anniversary of D-Day would've also been my retirement date from the Army, had I stayed on active duty. And, y'know, not gotten killed during the GWOT. I was commissioned in May of '94, but actually came on active duty on 6 June when I reported to Gold Bar Recruiter duty at my university.

I dont think TCT was born when the original came out.
Quote from: GDS_Starfury on July 03, 2014, 01:54:43 PM

I do believe that was just before his time, yes. (Granted, I was only 7 myself when it was released, but at least I had heard of it.)
The original was the first movie I saw on a VCR...I was 10 or 11 and my uncle pulled me aside and asked me if I wanted to see something awesome. I haven't been the same since. My mom was not happy :)
Nothing better than seeing freaky, scary movies when you're young and impressionable! I puked in my soggy Rice Krispies the first time I saw The Shining.
Thats the primary job of an uncle.
Yeah my uncle is more like a dad to me than my real dad. I saw bits and pieces of The Shining when I was even younger, like 8 or 9. The bathroom scene really scrambled my brain.
The Shining and Alien both went a long way to expanding my horizons.
I still remember the morning after my mom and dad went to see Alien at the theater - she was shellshocked and looked ill, even the next morning, and did not want to talk about it with her 10-year-old son. That just made me convinced I needed to see it.
Alien...that movie still scares the shit out of me to this day. So does the original Salem's Lot. Oh and that is a novel that no 10 year old boy should read. Especially when every location referenced in the story is within a 50 mile radius of said boys' home. :o
Ha...my mom told me the same thing about The Exorcist. I wanted to read the book, but as I was in third grade at the time, she wouldn't let me anywhere near it.
Alien/Aliens still gives me nightmares at times as well, especially the night after I (re)watch it. The other movies are laughably terrible. And even though Colonial Marines was regarded as a pile of crap, it still freaked me the hell out. When Alien vs Predator, the games, came out, I had a really reeeeaaallllyyyy hard time going through them.
I saw Alien when I was in 2d grade or so. I didn't sleep for a week. Mom and dad were not happy with the neighbor kid that put it on when I was over.
I saw Alien when I was 10. I was eating dinner, spaghetti, when the alien burst out of the androids chest.
The first horror movie I ever saw was The Amityville Horror from 1979. I was around 7-8 and some of my buddies and their older brothers put it on to freak us out on HBO around 1982-83. I know the movie is weak but it's kind of a campy classic and I still love it and get freaked out by it to this day. Also love all the controversy surrounding what really happened in that house.
The Exorcist is my all-time favorite/most feared movie, with The Shining coming in a close second. Have never read the Exorcist...I almost bought a special edition hardback of it, together with its sequel Legion, a few years back, for 50.00. I passed, and now that double book is worth several times that much :/
I read The Shining last year and really enjoyed it. Have not yet read its sequel Dr. Sleep.

As soon as I saw that picture, I could hear 'The Flight of the Valkyries' playing in my head.
When the film came out, I and several friends, played the Vietnam game by Victory Games, and we would have the soundtrack from the film running in the background. Even now, I have 'the Chopper Song' by the Doors on a CD in the car and often belt it out.
No idea how many game characters I have called 'Kilgore' over the years. I certainly had a WoW character with that name.

I was about 12 when I read it, it was the only Stephen King book that really impressed me. Vampires are cool at that age. When I was in college I visited the town. There was a storm blowing in that evening. I found myself walking through one of their 'burial pits' trying to get back to the car. "I thought this is not good." I imagined all kinds of freaks coming out of the woodwork.
The end of Pet Cemetery was a bit freaky.
There's an illustrated version of Salems Lot available but to be honest I've been too big of a wuss to pick it up.
I read Amityville Horror when I was 14. The paperback copy I had had flies printed on the first page of each chapter..... More and more flies as you got deeper into the book..... Near the end I was barely able to hang on to the book to read it. Scared the crap outta me.
The house I lived in from 8 to 18, had windows like in the Amityville Horror. They were in my bedroom. I refused to watch the movie once I saw the trailer with those windows. I STILL haven't seen the movie to this day. Although, I did watch some of that remake crap with Ryan Reynolds (something else to blame that no talent hack for).

The first house I rented after getting my first professional job had a finished basement. It had one small room in one corner that had no windows. On seeing it for the first time, one of my friends said "pig room".... Never went near that room again and moved out a year later.... :-\
You guys have lived in some freaky places. The Wife and I rented an old house for a year that had a stone and dirt basement where the laundry was. Going to grab our clothes out of there at night was always an adventure.
The Amityville house today has been altered to attempt to cut down on curiosity seekers annoying the current owners. It hasn't worked much.

Yes the murdering of the whole DeFeo family did happen there. You guys know I want to believe as much as Moulder, but I have to believe that the murders occurred as a result of drug abuse and mental illness, not demons. What happened afterwards to the Lutz family is most likely a hoax concocted to make money off of the DeFeo murders. Each family that has lived in the house since the DeFeo murders has claimed the house is quiet and nothing out of the ordinary, besides annoying paranormal tourists, has bothered them.

I hate to repeat an old adage, but you're as old as you feel. I feel nothing like my age of 45 says, nor do I look it thankfully. I get along really well with a lot of younger co-workers. One once asked me how old I was because he thought I acted like a 21-year-old would. He meant it as a compliment...I hope.
I feel hungry. Does that make me more or less old?
Less.
Because food is fuel. And if your body needs fuel it means it's still working. The hungrier you are, the younger you are. Technically.

Though admittedly for me, when I changed my diet my farting stopped. I'm fart free now. If one does rear its ugly head, it doesn't stink, which is somewhat un-manly.
No I really am farting. And btw farting is very healthy. I would actually be a bit concerned if I didn't fart.

How did you mod your diet?
The big thing was soda - stopped drinking it cold turkey.
Next I just ate pretty much the same thing each day - yogurt with granola in the morning, a 30g protein bar for lunch, a piece of fruit, then fish and a salad for dinner. That's my 'normal' diet though I've been having issues sticking to it but haven't gained any weight at least.
Good to know. I have to get back on my diet because I've lost all the ground I'd gained over the spring.
It's a matter of shifting outlook. I'm snacking more but not that much, so I'm stuck at around 260-265. If I snack I end up eating very little for dinner so that's helping balance things out. I've not been to the gym in over a week now and that's really my biggest hangup now. If I can stick to the diet and exercise, the weight will come off.
I take consolation in that I'm 40-45 pounds less than I was at the beginning of the year, but I still have about that much I can lose.

^ Bloody hell.
Yup. 30 years.
Same week I started University....... :P
I was in junior high.
'83-84 was my first year of high school.
I was 10! I loved Wheeljack. He was my first Transformer.
I remember VERY clearly my first two Transformer toys were Optimus and Mirage.
I was 7. ;D Sunstreaker was my first Transformer.

^^ Git off ma lawn! >:(
Funny what you remember and what you don't...didn't remember Sunstreaker until I looked him up on the Google.
In my day transformers were not cars ,trucks and planes, but triremes, chariots and dirigibles
and they transformed into coral reefs, firewood, and tents, respectively.
^ Sounds like Go-Bots.

Bitch please. I was almost out of high school when Power Rangers exploded onto the scene, which meant I was already old enough to consider it lame (not to mention a ripoff of Voltron, which I admittedly was a fan of back in the day).
Nothing wrong with being a fan of Voltron

The Robot Chicken satire of Voltron was about the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Just sayin'.
This from a grown man that actually owns the Voltron board game.

Voltron is the exact opposite of Go Bots and Aquaman.
Solve this equation:
Go Bots x Aquaman = ?

Pulp Fiction: 20 years ago today
Still haven't seen it all the way through.
Same here. My movie backlog rivals both my game and book backlog in size and range.

I only just watched Fight Club for the first time last year. Great movie but someone ruined the twist for me just before I could see it. :tickedoff:
it's one of those movies that you find something new every time you watch it.
look for the single-frame Brad Pitt inserts throughout the first 45 minutes of it
Fight Club > Pulp Fiction
I liked them both very much. Love me some Ed Norton so Fight Club may have the edge for me.

the barely mentioned any of the TV shows those guys had been in
Avery Brooks - Spenser for Hirt
René Auberjonois - Warehouse 13, Boston Legal, a shit-ton of animated work
Alexander Siddig - 24, Atlantis, Da Vinci's Demons
René Auberjonois was also in Benson, wasn't he? And a lot of other movies/shows. He was even in The Patriot IIRC.
Yes to all of it.
just to close out 2014... Beverly Hills Cop was released 30 years ago in December.
and with that, we'll open a new 2015 feeling old thread.
