video games.

I used to be able to spend entire days playing video games without a second thought. Now I can barely spend 20 minutes playing one without getting bored as eff.

I used to love watching television sitcoms, but I just don't like them any more. Other than TV dramas and sports, watching TV just puts me to sleep.

Legos.

Pretty sure if you put a big lego set in front of me (or 3-D puzzle) I'd probably enjoy it just as much now as when I was a kid, and I loved the crap out of both of those.

Legos was a good one

But have you tried playing with them lately? I'm sure that if I found my old lego collection I could spend a solid afternoon building forts and such.



My roommate brought home a huge Lego set one day for a project for one of his classes, we wasted all evening playing with those. It was a good time.

My 5 yr old son is getting into legos.  Frustrating as hell.  As soon as you get the bat copter/ mario motorcycle, etc built, they try to play with it like a normal toy.  So it pretty much gets demolished within the first 5 min of play, the kid gets upset, and there you are back building the stupid thing again.  Legos for little ones are evil and I am convinced that they are designed to ultimately cause discontent.

If he is into legos at 5 atleast in 2-3 years you'll be able to get him into k'nex and start having some real fun.

yeah definitely true. I used to love them and I still love them I just don't do them any more. I missed the hate part of the topic.

Fishing.  Used to fish on this golf course by my house all the time as a kid.  Like, probably 5 or 6 times a week during the summer.

Haven't fished in probably 7 or 8 years.

Get the random piece lego sets and let the kiddos build their own shits.  Don't even try to play with them cause then they will want you to build crap for them also.  Let them use their imaginiations.  My kids just try to build the tallest tower thingy then end up fighting over pieces... on second thought just burn the legos and watch movies together.

My 2 boys don't like the random piece sets. But then again, they get the themed sets, you spend hours helping them build it, and within days they tear it down and rebuild it into something else they want. Also, the ability for each of the boys to remember with precision each and every piece (especially the figures) and whose set it came from is pretty amazing. Causes some big fights when they steal from one another.

Watching Sportscenter is a good one, I used to watch repeats all night as a kid, now not so much.

Also playing NCAA College Football. I played religiously in college, dynasty, online, against computer, eff we even made up a drinking game to go along with practice mode. I bought last years version since a couple of buddies were playing it online, I'm still pretty decent(Over .500) but I get pissed that I'm not as good as I used to be and quit playing since I didnt want to invest that much time again.

NCAA football got way too complicated.  Last time I played hardcore (07?) it took at least 30 minutes per week to recruit.  Have not played it in years, so dunno now.  But eff getting 3 star recruits.

Oh man, remember in '03 or '04 the glitch, where you pick 'direct snap', send the guy in motion so when you snap it, it goes wherever he ends up?  Then there was some cheat - where you are losing, you enter some crazy combo during kickoff so it glitch turns off the timer.  Just wait until the other person gets pissed off and quits so you get the win.

Yes, the direct snap glitch was terrible, i also had the timer glitch used against me online but figured out that if you called a time out to interupt their sequence of timeouts it would block it.

In reality I'm pissed that I cant run my offense of 3 plays and be successful anymore. Shotgoun Spread 4 wide, play 1 deep attack, Play 2 Direct Snap, Play 3 Outs.....Hot Route audible as needed.

I really liked the first album, but because they have such a distinctive sound and were severely overplayed, there is a danger in sounding the same.
