What makes me feel old? I watched Star Blazers, Robotech, and Voltron as a kid when it was aired on television...and I DON'T mean Toonami.

Anytime I see children doing something with their cellphones, because then I almost automatically get pissed and start rambling about my childhood. And when that happens I start to feel like an old guy saying the typical: "when I was a young lad..." stuff.
Seriously. When was the last time that you saw a kid playing with a stick? Or playing Catch, or Hide and Seek with their friends?? Sadly, I don't see these things anymore, and I think the kids are missing out big time.
Oh, yeah, and I forgot to mention... I'm 19.

OP, if you want to give those episodes a good home, you can send them here. I have all DB/Z/GT merchandise I own well cared for and accounted for right on my shelf.
On topic, hearing kids talk about their stuff and shows. I don't mind, too much, but not knowing what DBZ is crosses the line, even my friends's siblings who are like 10 know what DBZ is.
I'm one of the younger people in here too.
Thinking "I'm graduating in a couple months"
I can still remember when 2011 seemed a whole lifetime away.

On behalf of all the under 30 posters on this tread, I humbly apologize to the older members of the escapist community for the ignorance of my fellow youth.
That being said allow me to address the argument that, my friend has not heard of X show/movie/game, thus i am old. No, that just means your friend is too young. I was talking with a co worker yesterday and they were explaining that show Modern Family. They talked about one of the father's and i asked if she meant the one from Married with children. She did not know what i meant. That does not mean I'm old, that simply means she is too young to know about it. Plus Married with children was a little before my time anyway. So stop saying you feel old when you are under thirty people. In fifteen years you are going to look back at yourself and wonder "what was i thinking?"
For the record, I'm 24 turning 25. I am not old yet and I plan on taking full advantage of that.

All I know is that in Gold and Silver, they were still original and interestingly named/themed.CardinalPiggles said:
Can't believe I didn't link this at first:
What made me feel old was when i was old enougth to get my own benefit money...i have asbergers, college has been agressive since the TAs didn't really knew what they were doing, and neither did me. :/
When i was walking with mum to the hospital to get the out of work slip, i was like "But getting a slip means that im almost 1 5th through my life *dundun dadun di da dundun didi dunn*, its like old people getting their buss pass" and then mum was like, "but people dont live to 100 often" and that scared the hell out of me.
Didnt really have that many friends throughout my school life, since it was usually like 1 or 2 kids that probally didnt go to the same secondry school or even college, so when i was in college, i just distanced myself so i wouldn't lose any potencial friends i could have been friends with but then lost, though i did sort of fall in love with one of the girls in my class, though i bottled it up. i know her DevArt ID though.
She was sweet, she had nice long brown gold hair, was into videogames and she always kept her spirits up despite being kept down by her dad. (think shes a 2nd generation French/Russian living in the UK or somthing, heard her dad watched basic channels or russian tv though)
College was so awesome, i was allowed to wander about downtown, eat new things, buy new stuff for whatever, but at home? its ruled by some 50 odd year old who is a sexist pig who screams at his 30-40 somthing wife because the coffee wasnt sweet enougth, not even allowed out unless its for a reason, like mum running out of cigs, the dentist or new clothes.
to put it in perspective, i think my brother is probally somewhere 24+ years old, so chances are my dad was in his 20s whilst mum was in her teens or late teens.

Really? I fear for civilization now.Soylent Bacon said:
OT: There's not much that makes me feel old, I suppose the last time it happened was when some 16 year old kid didn't remember what an EyeToy was. Then again, I'm only a year older than he is so I have no right to feel old.
