Things you thought you'd love forever...

[Cyfu]

Naruto. Looked forward to every new episode, but now i haven't seen it in months. I just don't care anymore.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Penis

Probably a few bands. I used to loooooove McFly between the ages of about 11-16 and I thought I always would. Think of how Beliebers are now but minus being on the Internet.
Probably because I grew up and stopped obsessing over celebrities.

Anime, the cliches are so abundant that you can predict the entire series by just the first 5 episodes. And dont get me started on shonen aka plot armor + friendship = victory.

That is a massive generalization of anime, there a plenty of anime that don't pander to cliches. What you are really saying is you dislike shitty shonen like One Piece, Bleach and Naruto as there are plenty deep anime. Go watch Legend of The Galactic Heroes, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Madoka Magica, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and try and predict the plot, heck even Code Geass and Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood which are stupidly popular have unpredictale plots at points.

I gradually stopped watching them about a year ago, because I got the feeling their gradually introducing all these new guys wasn't going to be enjoyable. I really liked the original crew.

Is that what's happened? (Wouldn't know, having not listened to or watched their stuff aside from RvB in a very long time.

I wouldn't take my word as fact, I have a habit of forming excessively negative opinions sometimes.

But yeah, my main problem is all these new idiots they keep adding. Another thing I'm beginning to despise is how commercial Rooster Teeth is becoming, the ads in the podcast and YouTube channel were bad, but understandable. But now they constantly plug their ridiculous sponsor, some kind of caffeine pill that will make you epic GSL pro at first person shooters (they know their main fan base well), during their videos, they've been reduced to doing several let's plays a week and half the time the podcast just feels like one big Rooster Teeth ad.

Capcom. Man they were like THE company once. Resident Evil 4, DMC3, Megaman X some of my all time favourites. Sure they were stupid plotwise, but I liked the characters. Then their true colours are revealed. In hindsight, we should have seen it coming with Street Fighter 2 rererereleases and excessive milking of the megaman franchise with sequels. But it was soon obvious that Capcom never loved its fans back. They were just cashcows to be milked. Behing the smiling faces of the PR, there was a shameless company that took every opportunity to lie their fans, no matter how shameless. Behind those doors, there were talented people that are abused by a bunch of suits and then they left. Behind this logoi, there is only a brain and no heart.

Man that was overdramatic. Anyway thank you Capcom wherever you are and fuck you Capcom I see behind your mask now.

When I was a kid, Digimon was the shit as far as I was concerned. With nostalgia goggles on, it still is in some ways, but man oh man that show has not aged well at alllll. Eventually I actually got older than most of the kids represented in the show, watched the latest episode on a Saturday afternoon like I always did (season 4 at the time) and said to myself "wow, that was really really stupid."

I'll still sit back and watch season 1-3 on occasion if I'm feeling super nostalgic, but otherwise my love for the show just kind of up and left without any warning.

No captcha, I've never been a Resident Evil person. 4 was great I'll admit but it's the only one that ever caught my interest.

 

[JagermanXcell]

-Capcom. "No respect!" - Jabber Jaws.
-Anime. Loved it as a kid, then I grew up and now as much as I wanna go back I can't. Its like an old friend you don't want to be seen talking around with amongst your superior popular friends. Its a shame movies, comics, and video games took over.
-TV. Pretty much my childhood, now the internet is my TV. I literally witnessed the rise and fall of CartoonNetwork, man did it fall HAAAAAAAARD.
-Dancing. Yes... 7 years and while I learned a lot from it, it pains me to know I may never put it to future use. Oh well, to flash animation and writing I go!
-Syndicate. He seemed like a legit youtuber and a nice guy at the very least, then he got paid off by Capcom (the frikin' irony) to thumbs up the new DMC game just to get more sales. I've seen sellouts but this one was just cringe worthy, especially his "What the hell is Devil May Cry?" face he puts on the whole time...

 

[Sir Pootis]

Pokémon.

I got into the series in Gen 4. I was hooked, picking up Sapphire, and playing SoulSilver. However, when it cape to 'catch 'em all' I felt the repetitiveness. I got out with my wallet intact.

 

[ShinyCharizard]

RuneScape.

It started going downhill early last year when they introduced microtransactions following the introduction of a wheel of fortune clone which you could buy spins on through microtransactions. And this wheel could potentially award high-level gear.

That and the combat rework has finally cemented it for me that the shareholders are thinking "We want to be like WoW! Lets copy everything they do!" so most of the preached updates so far this year are new raid bosses, updates to existing raid bosses to make them relevant after being left behind by the rest of the game and new quests which will probably unlock more raid bosses.

Not my cup of tea, so my stomach turns every time i think of going back to it.

It's Runescape for me to but my love for the game faded when they introduced the measures designed to combat the real world trading. It pretty much just destroyed the soul of the game for me and since then I've never gone back

The real world trading countermeasures are pretty much gone now.

But as ive said other problems have risen to take thier place.

 

[Tarkand]

JRPGs and Anime... well, a lot of oriental/asian themed stuff really. Had a big 'If it's from asia, it's cooler' thing going for a while, even the World of Darkness rpg was helping out with their 'Year of the Lotus' thing they did.

Really tought I'd be a fan forever... now I really can't stand most oriental/asian themed things.

 

[SEXTON HALE]

Creme eggs,I greatly anticipated their return and now ive stuffed myself with so many ill just never look at them the same way...

 

[dr_what]

Now, Ginger Ale on the other hand...that stuff I can drink!

[sub]I get called an old man by my family because of this. I'm 22. *sobs*[/sub]

You are not alone ! Ginger Ale is the drink of Gods !

OT: I used to enjoy the Spawn comic book, but now with the new direction of the story and the ocaasionally confusing (at least to me) art style, I cant stand it anymore. Then my girlfriend bought me a hardcover collection of some back issues, and my dislike got stronger. Now I just read the new 52 All Star Western for Jonah Hex

 

[mrhappy1489]

my dad probably, thought we were going to be the traditional father and son doing stuf together and being happy.

I haven't met my dad in 6 years.

Dude I feel for you, my relationship with my father hasn't been overly enviable either, the absence of father son stuff does kind of sting. If I had say something I'm over, it would most likely be hard rock/alternative/metal/whatever it's called. I was really into it, whatever it is, when I was 16, but these days I can't stomach any of it. Though the bright side is that the music I listen to these days is more cheerful and better in quality so I'm not at all disappointed.

 

[James Joseph Emerald]

Party rings, those neon circular biscuits

How did I get ninja'd on that?!

I bought them recently because I remembered loving them as a kid and ended up throwing the pack out.

 

[SecondPrize]

MtG I guess. Bitterblossom drove me away until it rotated out. I was always a little apprehensive about Mythic rares and felt Planeswalkers should have been a one-block mechanic but I came back to Jace the fucking Mindsculpter and now I just hate that shit.

 

[WickedFire]

Sitcoms in general. I used to enjoy stuff like My Family, Big Bang theory and other from years ago that I have removed from my memory. The only ones I like now are Scrubs and How I Met Your Mother, even Friends sits on unstable ground. It was probably to do with my growing up in maturity and taste, but I noticed that most sitcoms were essentially moronic. Half the characters were meant to be 'funny' purely because they are loud and stupid, or find understanding normal situations difficult. There is no character growth, just repetitive idiocy. That's why I can only stand HIMYM and Scrubs, because over the series the characters actually do change.

Every time I see an advert for 'hit comedy' Miranda it feels like 75% of my brain cells go into hibernation to protect themselves from the stupid. I'm pretty sure I once stopped breathing until the advert ended and my brain rebooted.

Let us remember the golden times. When the podcast was about listening to anecdotes like Geoff's story about huffing gasoline in the army.

 

[Quazimofo]

Warhammer 40k, the game that is, anybody who has been involved in the game for 5+ years should know what I mean.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy the fluff, have 40+ 40k & Warhammer books on my shelf, but I hate GW more and more every time some kid convinces their parents to buy them a box of Ultrasmurfs for $65 that cost $35 when I was their age (about 10 years). Fuck you Games Workshop, with a big rusty choppa.

See, I still like the game & the fluff (always loved the fluff)... but I'm definitely with you on hating Games Workshop and whoever does their pricing, even in the UK (that is to say, the source of all WH40K goodness) everything's s'damned expensive. I get all my models from other hobbyists these days... *le sigh* I kinda feel sorry for their staff, because they're basically forced to buy shitloads of the products (granted with a piddly staff discount), but don't really get remunerated for all the extra work they do. You've really got to love the hobby to work at a GW outlet, because most of my GW friends have long since left or moved up to head office to different depts (including one guy who's now at 'Eavy Metal).

Hell... *dons monocle and a superior air* I remember the good old days when paints cost £1!

I wanted to play WarHammer once but I saw the price tags and wiped my hands of it. I dunno how people can afford to play that it is insanely expensive I cut my loses before I even started.

Yeah, the hobby really is just 1 step short of silly expensive. Unfortunately for me, I have been Enthralled (and nearly have a fully 2000 point Vampire counts list for my first foray into fantasy! YAY). I love the painting, and when I get some greenstuff to get into the true customization of models I think I'll love that too. Also the social outlet it provides. Ive met quite a few people through the hobby.

But I have saved the current prices they have for the Australian GW product, since things there are more expensive because "people are just used to paying that much there". Once they get too close to those prices in the US, I'm out, since that will be about a 50% price increase over what it was when I started (very early 2011), and I just cannot condone prices of that magnitude for the same product, which absolutely cannot possibly cost THAT MUCH to make. (55$ for a box of 12 firewarriors and 2 gun drones, which are an inch tall, and half that for the drones).

Anyway, back on topic...

Most television shows, really. I just never really feel the desire to go and straight up watch a TV show. Not even Mythbusters. It just lost its appeal, but I don't really hate it. Kinda like harry potter, or 90% of the disney "classics".

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

Doctor Who. I loved everything up till series 5, and that was still okay. But from there on I just lost all interest and stopped watching completely.
