Retro-Trip!

Posted by Takagi on June 30, 2008, 4:31 p.m.

So I decided to look up the stuff I used to like three-five years ago.

Wow, I had such bad taste. I'm going to note what I liked then, what I like now, and some trends.

Music:

Then:

+44? Blink-182? Green Day (post-American Idiot Green Day)? Sum 41?

Now:

Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Techno, Eurodance, Motion City Soundtrack, Nightwish, the pillows.

Trend:

Less crap, more electronic, indie, and foreign music.

Television:

Then:

Animes like Bleach and Naruto? I rest my case.

Now:

Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note, Fawlty Towers, House, Mind Your Language

Trend:

More mature stuff, British comedy added

Movies:

Actually, this has stayed pretty much constant. The movies I liked then I still like.

Hobbies:

Old:

Game Maker, moderating GMC, playing video games.

Now:

Game making has died. I don't use GM, nor do I moderate the GMC with an iron fist. I hate video games if I play them for more than an hour now… with a few exceptions (melee, Tales of Symphonia). I'm trying to learn CSS and actually design decent webpages. I do most of my programming in C++/C.

Trend:

Maturity +6.

Outlook on Life:

I've mellowed out a hell of a lot in the last year… as anyone can tell. I've screwed the whole anti-social thing, but I'm still quiet. I think. I'm a bit more optimistic.

Political Views:

More liberal socially, more financially conservative. That still places me in the "liberal" category.

Wow, this is a nice way to look back on five years of my life and see how much progress I made.

@sk8, don't stalk my friends/spam my wall.

Wait you know Bob too? Bob is like my total best friend forever, no seriously. Also I love how I get a special mention. Now listen to some punk and if you like British Comedy, watch the Mighty Boosh.

Full Metal Alchemist: Not enough lazors

Death Note: Interesting but rather morbid.

Fawlty Towers: Win.

Mind Your Language: Never found it funny.

I enjoy it because it's blatantly racist and is filled with really lame puns.

Fullmetal and Deathnote are great animes. Do you read any of the mangas?
