Doug was a good show when i was a kid, and it still is. heh, try to come back from that.

the difference is that doug is a legitimately good show whereas rm2k is just some piece of software people mostly (not always just A LOT) use to make really terrible games, and we thought they were a lot better when we were 11 than we do now


there are some things that stay good as you age and there are some that don't

also what drule said, it's basically that the novelty of making a game isn't like it used to be, it used to be that not a lot of people were making their own games so they seemed to be a lot more interesting but nowadays way more people are into gamemaking and that means we're getting better products meaning the old shit isn't as impressive as it used to look

i miss the days when i could poop my pants and my parents wouldn't yell at me for doing it .


those days came back when i went to college

It took 19292 tries, but you finally did it! 

Made a good post.

Actually I remember being really surprised like 10,000 posts ago when you made a good post.

Vellfare i don't know if you're being completely serious or not but you are being pretty closed minded.. all he's saying is he's having a bit of nostalgia of the old days and thought those days were fun. I would kind of agree but wouldn't really want things to be the same again.

what can i say i'm a winner

i'm nostalgic for the old days because it made me feel like i belonged somewhere

I also am a human being and experience nostalgia.

nah man it's not me being closed minded (why would you think this) i get nostalgia just like everyone else the problem is that in the first post he's saying that everything people are excited about or using now is dumb in comparison to THE GOOD OLD DAYS and the thing is it's not!  he's saying rmxp is awful because BACK IN MY DAY and it's the exact same shit, it's just that he doesn't have the nostalgia for it like he does rm2k and so it's not as good, when really it's just the same.

and in his latest post he's doing the same thing with video games, and one day kids are going to be doing the same thing for ps3 and xbox games, talking about how the new games are not any good because we used to have these great ps3 games and now all these games are trash.  this is the exact thing people do with books or movies or really anything.  the truth is it's because you have the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia making those old things seem better when really if you didn't have that nostalgia you would think they were dumb.  this is a perfectly valid thing, don't get me wrong, but when you try to use that to insist that something then was better than something today, you're being incredibly short sighted!

i mean can we really say that NES games were so much better than games now?  don't you remember how many NES games were completely unplayable?  it's because we just have good memories of the good games.  in many years we'll only have good memories of the good 360 games, and it'll be the exact same thing.  you can't use that as part of an argument though.

edit: somehow i'm the closed minded one when the OP is "HEH YOU AND YOUR LITTLE RMXP GAME......IF IT WASN'T MADE IN RM2K I WANT NO PART IN IT"

I caught myself thinking fondly about the absolute worst time in my life recently, nostalgia is stupid

I still find it odd when people in our age group yearn for the GOOD OLD DAYS.
Jeeze... is Obama really that bad?
