Yep. He took down the original video years ago to save face, but somebody backed up his response video on people that criticized his review.Samtemdo8 said:

I didn't have an N64, and the only games I played on my PSX were FFVII, Chrono Cross, and more FFVII; after the PSX, I had a Gamecube. Basically, I missed the entirety of the "collect-a-thon" genre. As a result of that, the fervent nostalgia some folks have for DK64, Spyro, Crash, or Banjo-Kazooie is utterly baffling to me. In fact, ANY game with a whiff of "collect 100+ of a thing to get the golden ending!" was an instant turn-off to me, and is likely the biggest reason why I haven't played ANY Mario game post-SMW that wasn't an RPG.
Friends. Kinda. It's not like I didn't play well with others, I just happened to be a loner-type for about half my school years. I got some friends later in high school so I wasn't a complete weirdo, but most weekends were still me at home with games and Internet, for good or for ill.
Friends. The series. Really, a lot of the silly, inoffensive sitcoms other people remember fondly just didn't appeal to me. Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld, Full House... and yet, "Married... With Children" was an utter delight for my rebellious self back in 2000.

Star Wars.
I only came into being my own person capable of appreciating the world around me at the time Revenge of the Sith came out. I saw the previous two, but can't remember seeing them at all. I thought it was fun enough, but it apparently didn't catch me the way the series tends to catch people. I don't know why and I'm not too good at self-examination. One thing I did grow up with was the endless praise of the original trilogy and the condemnation of the prequel trilogy. I only sat down to watch the original three a few years ago and they didn't really catch me either. The odd thing is I did grow up playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 over and over again, so it's not as if I was not aware of the goings on. I will admit I still don't know what plot, theme and sound elements come from what time period. I wasn't aware until recently my favourite music [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlYCxbBZUCY] from the whole thing apart from the Imperial March came from The Phantom Menace.

I actually liked the first movie, to the point I even own the DVD because really it blew me away with its special effects.PsychedelicDiamond said:

To say I ?grew up? without this is a bit misleading since I only grew up until about the age of 6 or 7 when I learned better, but I grew up without a understanding of racial differences. My father is Hispanic; his skin is brown, the color of a Hershey?s kiss. My mother is black; her skin is fair, the complexion of a white person with a fading tan; I am my father?s complexion, and my sisters are my mother?s complexion. I had an Indian friend in 1st or 2nd grade who had white parents. Another friend was white, as was his mom, but his father and older brother were both black. I say all that to say that due to the lack of ?uniformity? or ?continuity? I saw from day to day between the parents and children close to me, it took me until early grade school years to understand ?how babies work? and that adoption, interracial marriage and step relatives were a thing. (I also learned about that time that ?Uncle Ronnie? who visited from Atlanta a couple times a year and took my sisters on vacation (without me!) was actually my mom?s ex-husband, my sisters? father.) I.e.: I thought a white father and a black mother could have a Chinese child and that skin tone and ethnic features were like markings on individual puppies from the same litter, arbitrary. If only we could all hang on to such naive innocence, or better yet, were it only TRUE, the world would be a different place.
If you like it, you like it. No one can take that away from you. I used to like the first one, but I can't even be engaged by the special effects anymore. I hated two, and 3 & 4 were slightly better, but not by much. I did not bother with 5, because it was more of the same shit. I don't even own the DVDs anymore. I rather watch the new Ninja Turtle movies (which gets way too much hate). Thanks again, Bob. While Bay is the producer, he was mostly hands off. In fact, he actually prevented thing from becoming worse during production, if rumors are true. Plus, they're not 3 hours long, so I don't have to keep hitting the skip button to get to the good stuff. It's too bad there won't be a sequel to Out of the Shadows.Samtemdo8 said:I actually liked the first movie, to the point I even own the DVD because really it blew me away with its special effects.PsychedelicDiamond said:

The trailers for the first movie are legend at this point to me.CoCage said:If you like it, you like it. No one can take that away from you.

I don't even think I was in grade school when I learned Santa wasn't real. Hard thing seeing all my classmates excited. I remember getting in trouble and being sent to the principle when I didn't want to participate in writing letters to Santa before Winter break.
So i guess I grew up without a sense of wonder:
