Title: "Holy crap! I used to like this?"
Post by: X_marks_the_ed on February 14, 2009, 11:45:11 PM
Have you ever gone through some old things of yours and wondered how you could've liked it in the first place?

I've just been through my old music collection, and I have to say that half of these bands are murder to my ears now. So, I went through my old bins of crap, and wonder how I could have ever been that into some of the **** I found. Old NES games I would play for hours on end are now incredibly easy and just plain stupid. I also found a bunch of Simpsons stuff, and now I despise seasons 11 and above.

Nostalgia ftw, except when it turns out your childhood memories turn out to be false.

Only their latest album for me now, the rest I don't like.

Older albums are way better

Untitled is Okay...but it could be way better
See You on the Other Side was...different

But they're older stuff destroys

No, I pretty much remember things being as awesome as they actually are.

Queen has not gotten any gayer than the last time I listened to anything of theirs (although, in fairness, they were always pretty gay).

Still gotta love that one song... what's it called? Under Pressure?

Although I love both, I figured the day when Freddie and David teamed up, it would have been for a gay porn-shoot. But then, something amazing happened.

Yeah, likewise. I also used to be a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh! (the anime)... thankfully, I watched enough so that YGOTAS is relevant to me.

Everything else made me diarrhea puke everywhere.

I personally like Meteora better than Hybrid Theory, but Regeneration (what eve it's called), that crap with Jay-Z and Minutes to Midnight suck arse.

ill like/do/think something is cool, then a day later ill look back and think "oh my (whatever deity im worshipping at the time)! What the hell was i THINKING?!"

and whenever i look weeks back at a time, some of that stuff actually made me vomit. as in expel half-digested food out of my mouth. it's that lame to me.

there's probably a fancy psychological explaination for this

also,
Quote
crono is a mute

i have argued this point a dozen times, and im not going to waste any more time debating the fact that crono isn't actually a mute, that his dialogue is just never shown.

wait..........

****.

While insightful, I don't see how Crono relates to the topic at hand. Wouldn't that be for the Chrono Trigger thread (http://www.charas-project.net/forum/index.php?topic=24698.0), which, according to the topic list, you started?
Title: Re: "Holy crap! I used to like this?"
Post by: fruckert on February 16, 2009, 03:36:57 AM
I believe that quote is from a different thread, as well

Heh, I was the one who said that, primarily because you threatened to "come to [my] house and stab [me]" if I said anything bad about Chrono Trigger.  Still waiting for that to hapen, by the way....
Oh, and I fully understand the concept of a "silent protagonist," of which Crono is a textbook example.  However, with the exception of Link, they generally annoy me.

I used to be a fanboy for Dragonball Z. And now I am again due to being a fanboy for Batman, which lead me to being a fanboy for Superman, and due to the Superman vs Goku crap, I like DBZ again.
Title: Re: "Holy crap! I used to like this?"
Post by: WarxePB on February 16, 2009, 05:14:52 PM
Dragonball Z was (and still is) the most awesome thing ever. There are just newer, slightly less awesome things that temporarily take its place.

For some reason, I thought everyone hated DBZ, and that it should have ended after Frieza Saga.

Or at least that's what I read sometime ago here.

I used to listen to all that metal stuff. Now I've mellowed down and prefer classic rock/funk rock like Hendrix, Chili Peppers, Led Zep, Cream etc. When I listen
to my old music now I wanna kill myself.

I remember all my old PS1 games being amazing and now most of them are awful. Although I just played the Abe's Odyssey games on Steam (well the demos)
and they're still amazing as ever!

I find your intolerance disturbing. Some folks (like me) are fully capable of enjoying more than one music style. We end up winning out in the end, because we don't have as many situations where we're unhappy with the sound around us.

Also, some of those bands are considered heavy metal. You didn't think metal was always about murderous demons intent on destroying mankind, did you?
Title: Re: "Holy crap! I used to like this?"
Post by: WarxePB on February 16, 2009, 10:46:55 PM
Dear God, Archem. If you're going to make a Star Wars reference, at least get it right.

I find your intolerance disturbing.

should be

I find your lack of tolerance disturbing.


Also, some of those bands are considered heavy metal. You didn't think metal was always about murderous demons intent on destroying mankind, did you?

If you listen to some of the harder stuff, like death metal, black metal, grindcore, etc., then yeah. But "mainstream" metal like Metallica? Bah, they're just trying to ACT like they want to perform Satanic rituals and stuff.


I used to listen to the radio a lot when I was younger, but then I realized all of the radio stations in my area sucked. So I switched over to techno and OCRemix. I have a lot of classic rock and stuff on my MP3 player, but compared to the sheer amount of game music and remixed game music, it's not much.

Been going through something of a nostalgia trip recently. Downloaded the entire batman animated series and a rom of Medievil for PSone. To answer your question, the reason I used to like this is because this farking rocks.

Oh my God, I can't believe I was that close to making a SW reference!

If I was more aware, you can bet your balls I would have done it right.

Post by: Geodessia on February 17, 2009, 02:01:11 AM
I totally agree with Archem.

I like a lot of different styles. I always have; ever since I stopped listening to the radio and found out A LOT of good music exists and doesn't get played on the radio

Another thing.. People going on about which Album of which band was the best... (Ko#[<-- Insert Backwards 'R']n)

A, like... who cares.

B, If people think an artists album is better than one you like, they are not inferior. People like different things for different reasons; Stop trying to make people more like you by trying to make them like what you like.

Wait... what was this topic about anyway....
Oh...

In closing I will say something related to the topic:

I had good taste when I was young.
I don't really discard things I used to like, I just add more to mai collective :)    Cept Pokemon... If people didn't convince me It was for kids, I probably would have liked it a little now...
Sigh... Actually I probably would have stopped liking it after the original 151...  But they totally had to milk that billion dollar cow... How many are there now btw?

Catching them all has turned into a life long mission now :\

Hey, man, don't diss Queen! I mean, Jaws was never my scene, and I don't like Star Wars.

'Sides, Freddy Mercury even appears in an anime. For real:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ6nZMgzIHw

When I was a kid, I was never allowed to get into it. My parents were Jehova's Witnesses.  :-X

EDIT: And regarding music, I'm sorry, I'm all for listening to a lot of different music, I myself listen to a wide variety of music, buuutt... Grindcore? Death Metal? Black Metal? Come ooooooonn. That **** sux and everybody knows it.

Yes, thankfully, they were able to escape the damned cult. It's scary when they tell me about it, they said I could practically rehearse the bible from memory by the time I was 5. 0_0

Funny I don't remember a damn thing. Just like Moses and random bits everyone knows.

Clearly, you missed out on the part that I said I still love Queen.

And that clip is pure sex. Gay sex, but still sex.
