Things you miss from your childhood.

Do you mean what I used to do cause Im 10.well I used to play stuff.and play elmo games.(I know its weird)that game was fun back then.oh and I played at Mc donalds.I went to my freinds house everyday.and I was obsesed with dinosaurs.

Kramer's post reminded me of the fun stuff outside.

Hiking, playing in the woods, swinging from vines, climbing trees, Making "bases."


I remember getting all my friends over and pretending outside we were in resident evil. Or pretending we were in DBZ.

Or something else we made up.

Dude, you had metal equipment when you were a kid?!

I had wood... I think i still have splinters.

But i digress.

I miss playing through the great games of our time for the first time.

Super mario 3, Mario RPG, Final Fantasy 3, Kirby's adventure, Final fantasy 7, Goldeneye, Perfect dark, Mario 64. All of those old great games, That were just amazing when we first played them, but have since beat them to a pulp, and can recite them inside and out.

I remember back in elementary school me and my friends'd play Sonic or Digimon and we'd each pretend we were the character. Nowadays, all you do is hang around or go to the library and stuff.

Pretend and make-believe. Back when we used to play "Zelda" on the school playground and I was the only one that could do Bombchu correctly... good times. Everyone's outgrown it though. Of course with the advent of multiplayer online games, it's almost been replaced.

Well metal and wood. The point is, it wasn't this safe plastic crap kids have nowadays.

In kindergarten me and my friends would always play sonic. I had to be tails though, greg was always sonic. We made the fat kid be dr. robotnik and the jungle gym was his fortress and there was supposed to be a "force field" between the metal poles so you cant go in but we'd go in anyways.

I remember when they started putting the plastic crap in our playground and taking up the valuable open space in the pebble field. Sinful. I still love the possibly-20-feet-tall slide made out of sharp steel that was untouchable near the end of the schoolyear.

In 1st thru 5th grade I didn't even have recess, even though there was PLAINLY a playground outside.

explain it

Hey I did that kind of stuff too

Except we blended like every single Nintendo character together

The playground at my elementary school had "safe plastic crap."

Well, in kindergarten the playground was all metal and wood, so I still remember what you mean.

rofl we played pokemon, and we even wasted time spinning around (The spin maze thingies found in the hideouts)

I've just remembered something else that reminded me of my childhood innoncence.

I used to act out a mock TV show in front of CCTV cameras in a local supermarket! Man, I really was a strange child!

I also seem to have a bit of a flair for acting, I can remember playing a cat in a play in 2nd class and helping my school win first prize ( A judge complimented me directly after we'd finished ) , something I took with pride! (Although looking at the old photos of me in full costume... I really cringe ) , only remotely major part I ever got one of those school plays ( I was the central character's Cat ) , I got stuck with minor roles in other years. >_<

i remember when pokemon was banned at my school because they were saying it was satan oriented you would get in trouble just saying pokemon

Hmmm...
-NES
-Friends
-Good TV
-Disney World
-easy days at school
-Whimsy

That last one is the big kicker. We get cynical and jaded too damn quickly in today's world. We lose that sense of whimsy and wonder too quickly.

They never said that at my schools, but by the time of middle school pokemon cards were banned from school

and yes, screw the ***** plastic playground equipment, real men burnt their hands and got splinters at the playground!

Man, I Ran around the feild at my school Playing random games till grade 8, like CTF, and Pokemon, We'd make full fledged LARPG's and make characters and take stuff from other games... man good times... good times...

My old public school still has some metal and wood, but thats what was called the "big kids Equipment" you had to be grade 4+ to go on it. But the other place got replaced...

And Damnit SWING SETS!! There pretty much all removed in my area...
