Something that happens to people is that they change over time. Either little by little, or in drastic steps, it's all a part of the human condition; you don't stay one way forever.
I am no exception to that rule. I too change over the years. I'm gonna prove it to you. Yes, there was a time in my life that I didn't have the internet. And there was a time that the only comics I read were Nintendo Power comics. AND, I didn't always gush over cute girls. (That came later.) Observe, the xm of Yesteryear, compared to the xm of today!
(This was me back when I was eight.)
[Me] My favorite movie of all time? Why that's easy! Aladdin! The Genie is so funny!
(Now me in the present.)
[Me] Favorite movie of all time? I don't know, the original Star Wars trilogy? No wait, um, Casablanca! No wait, um, Beauty and the Beast! No wait . . . Schindler's List! Ah dang it! I can't decide! But ya know, Robin Williams was really good in Aladdin.
(This was me back when I was seventeen.)
[Me] FUCK JAPANESE CARTOONS! They suck! They all look like shit. They all have horrible voice-acting. They all are stupid as Hell. AND THEY'RE VASTLY OVERRATED! EVERY-FUCKING-WHERE I GO, EVERYONE ACTS LIKE "ANIME" IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN "CARTOONS". THAT IS FUCKING BULLSHIT! Unless if they make an anime exactly like Chrono Trigger, which I know to be an anime-esque game, there is no FUCKING way in Hell I am EVER watching another anime ever again! Fuck Japanese cartoons, and fuck all the retarded asshole fans!
(This is me now.)
[Me] Fuck Code Geass, fuck Hellsing, fuck Slayers, fuck Akira, fuck Fruits Basket, AND FUCK ALL THE DUB HATERS!!!!! But, at least I have me my Castle in the Sky. And my Eureka Seven. And my memories of Death Note. Just as planned. I love saying that.
(This is me back when I was ten-and-a-half.)
[Me] Super Mario 64 is thuh Bestest game EvarZ!!!!!!
(This is me back when I was eleven.)
[Me] What is up with all the Sm64 hype? Okay, yeah, it starts off fun, but then it gets boring! And it's buggy, too! I hate bugs!
(This is me now.)
[Me] I still think SM64 represents a low point for Mario games. Okay, everything other than the slide levels a low point for Mario games. There, now shut up already.
(This is me back when I was six.)
[Me] Wow! Little Nemo is a lotta fun!
(This is me one year ago.)
[Me] *reading internet article* Yeah, I remember Little Nemo. That was pretty good, for an NES game. Maybe I'll play that on my emulator.
(One day later.)
[Me] What the hell was I thinking!? This game is way too hard, and the level design is crap! Why did I used to love this game!? Good god, I must've been doped up as a child.
(This is me when I was thirteen.)
[Me] Megaman Legends is one of the best Playstation games ever!
(This is me back when I was sixteen.)
[Me] Even though PS1 games look like crap, it's cool I can still rent them, 'cause MML2 is even better than the first!
(This is me when I was nineteen. To expand the library of my recently-purchased PS2, I started buying PS1 games. Including MML2.)
[Me] Tron Bonne is so cute! I just love her! ^_^ How could I not notice this before!? She's just so cute!
(This is me now.)
[Me] Not too many girls are as cute as Tron Bonne. I'm grateful I realize this. Too many gamers take this too lightly.
Oh yes, how time flies.
