So you're... 16? You're a year younger than me, and I'm actually looking forward to being a little bit older. How the hell do you feel old?xPrometheusx said:...You're a terrible person. Seriously. I saw Finding Nemo in theaters when I was 7 or 8. Back when my family actually went to see all the Pixar movies. Ah the memories... jeez, they haven't made a movie that was interesting enough for me to consider seeing in years. I think their movie next year is a prequel to monsters inc, though. Monsters university. Looked funny, maybe I'll see that.Binnsyboy said:This is in date enough to be relevant.
I've not had that yet, but it's coming like a freight train
But in all seriousness, I'm still adjusting to the fact that its 2012. My mind says it's still 2008. Doesn't FEEL like it's been 4 years...
*Edit: Someone brought up cartoon network cartoons. Great example. Fosters Home and Megas XLR are both like.... 7 or 8 years old now. So is Teen Titans. Man... old cartoons. At least they're getting good replacements though, with the exception of spongebob, which looks like is just going to keep struggling forward until it dies. Adventure Time and Regular Show are definitely some of the best cartoons ever made. And Avatar the Last Airbender, though that's not as old. Season 2 is, I guess. Wut was up with the 2 year gap there? Lol. Wonder if there's going to be a good american anime replacement to it sometime soon.
I was talking to an 18 year old, I admired a passing woman but was met with 'oh she's heaps old, she's like, 26'. You little turd I'm 34!!! Feeling old at 23? I only felt tired at that age and that was only Monday morning after staying out all weekend.
You have to wait for it to grey just a bit more. You'll have a sophisticated older look, but still look like you can have fun.Fasckira said:
I was at a carnival chilling in the "picnic" area (Plastic chairs and tables count as a picnic now?) and there was a band playing called "Days of Vinyl". I hear from the table behind me "Dad, what's vinyl?". Now this made me feel old enough, until the guy said "They are like big, black, CDs.". Oh yeah... CDs... I forgot we used those. In a related note, a band I like released an album on cassette tape as a special edition thing, I forgot about those too.
You guys remember Chrono Trigger? Released August 1995, that was 17 years ago. How about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time? released 23 November 1998. That is 14 years ago. Maybe for something a little... Newer? Super Smash Bros. Melee (that's the one for the Gamecube if anyone is confused) was released 2 December 2001, 11 years ago. How about some groundbreaking titles? Halo: Combat Evolved, the game the revolutionized the console FPS, was released 14 November 2001, 11 years ago. Oh, "That's only halo", I hear you say. Okay, how about The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind? It was released 2 May 2002. Ten years have passed.
Yes, I feel like this often. I've been using the internet since many people on this site have been in diapers or before they were even born. I'm not silly enough to actually regard myself as an old person (I'm 30), but the age range of people on forums and the sites I visit is a lot broader than it was ten or so years ago.
Thank you I almost forgot I have been online for around 16/17 years now >.<Chemical Alia said:
remembering the movie grease came out when i was born makes me feel old sometimes. Worse is talking/chatting with people and talking about movies I know and the reply is "Never seen that was out way before i was born"
I'm not entirely sure that makes me feel any better, because I was already six - four months away from turning seven - when Pokemon Red/Blue came to America.Master_of_Oldskool said:Glad to be of service.shrekfan246 said:Back in my day there were only 151 Pokemon, and only 150 were legally available in the games!Master_of_Oldskool said:
Damn whippersnappers!
Seriously. My first post in this thread was mentioning how I own a copy of Pokemon Red that's literally almost older than some of the people posting on these forums.
Thank you, for making me feel even older.
If it makes you feel any better, I was born in 1995, and the original Red/Green versions weren't created until 1996. Red and Blue didn't leave Japan until late 1998, so I'm roughly three years older than your cartridge. In fact, I'm older than Pokémon itself!
...
Urgh.
It really doesn't feel like that long ago. I remember playing N64 with a friend when I still lived in New York and my buddy came to me really excited saying, "Oh man! Look what we can do on our new computer! We can look up pictures of Donkey Kong on it!" That happened in 1997 if I remember correctly.D Moness said:
The internet has changed so much since then. I was a huge Sonic fan as a kid and I remember reading fan comics and what-not. At some point I stumble across some... unsettling pictures... yeah, I witnessed to birth of the furry fandom. It was terrifying.
"Sally Acorn, the face that launched a 1,000 furries."
This fucking website.
Also realising that I am to a 16 year old what someone born in 1960 was to me. Someone who would have grown up listening to Black Sabbath or Disco or stuff like that. The Gulf war happened at a similar time in my life to the Vietnam war in theirs. That was another era to me and I guess I must be like something out of another era to kids these days.

A look in the mirror is all it takes to make me feel old. Grey hair all over the face and my hairline is slowly receding. Work doesn't help either. Seems like all the new hires we get that I put into the system all have birth dates in the early 90s.
My younger siblings make me feel old. Their slang is completely different from my slang. I mean there's only a 7 and 9 years difference between our ages. Holy shit, I'm nearly a decade oldr than my sister? Fuck, I can feel myself age. I need a drink.
17, so we're the same age. And not so much feeling old as I'm realizing that my childhood has just ended. And I have pretty much nothing to show for it. Boo hoo!Binnsyboy said:So you're... 16?

your icon answers more than I think anyone could ever attempt to.TopazFusion said:I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet . . .
My first computer had one COLOR....GREEN...any "graphics" had to be made up of the standard keyboard letters, numbers & symbols.
I remember we were AMAZED because Pitfall Harry had LEGS...we were no longer RECTANGLES! AMAZING!!!
I was in my teens when I saw the Space Shuttle Challenger explode on live TV.
I used to take dates to the drive-in to make out.

Almost weekly something happens to me that makes me feel every single one of my years twice, some of them 3 times.Fappy said:
I just can't figure it out, I'm only 22, and some days I feel 50, or even 60. I just feel tired. SO damn tired.
Talk to you sorta? My niece is 10. She can probably write better than I can(handwriting-wise, not everything else thank god). My nephew is 6, I got him his first cap gun this last spring. I remember the day each of them was born, my nephew almost successfully ate his entire left forearm, and it feels like it was about 20 and 30 years ago. Just thinking about it makes my bones ache.alandavidson said:
