Do you consider yourself a grown man? You are interested in many things that I would think are for younger people.Quote:

See? 13 can be for adults too!
PG 13 is meant for those under 13, because obviously once you hit 13 you must know que pasa.
I can understand people liking things I don't like. Football for example. Bores me to tears, but I can see the appeal, sure.
WWE-style wrestling is on par with like, Barney the dinosaur. I liked it as a kid, found it entertaining especially because it had more of an unreal, cartoony flair back then. The costumes, the crazy stories, etc.
The Undertaker used to be a dude that came back to life. I would turn to like my 10 year old friend and be like "Do you think he really died?" Now he's a fat, old biker. The "superstars" are dudes with normal names that wear jean shorts.
If it was still wacky, it would be for kids. As it is now I really have no idea what kind of person would enjoy it. It's frightening to imagine.
I think the WWE's biggest fan groups are kids and females nowadays. It why they dropped the "mature" tv rating for a "PG-13" vibe years ago.
I liked it as a kid just like you did. Then it got boring and lame to me as I got older. Then I saw an ECW show where guys were doing things like throwing people through tables that were covered in thumbtacks and set on fire. That got the teenager me back into it. It was also cool to see two guys basically choreograph a staged fight on the fly (some ECW, Japanese & Mexican) and seeing dozens of different moves in each "match" (here's a short sample of that kind of match). The WWE actively tired to separate themselves from "wrestling" as us old fans remembered it. It's against the rules to call wrestlers anything but superstars and the females as divas. Wrestlers as only allowed to use a very small number of different moves so your average kid knows exactly what to expect in each match.
A few years back a bunch of friends were getting together every Monday to watch Raw and hang out. And for a time I was sorta back into it, the wrestling and storylines were lame but I had fun watching it with my friends. Then it petered out and no one wanted to get together and watch anymore, that's when I noticed how awful it was to watch it alone. Now thinking back the only times I was ever super into it was when I had friends who were also just as into it.
I'm not defending wrestling. I don't go to the Internet just to talk to people who have the same opinions as mine. I don't need the validation.
My favorite things are Tekken, comic books, wrestling, and music that isn't necessarily music anyone else would like.
I think Happy Wars is total garbage and I don't understand why anyone would enjoy it. I have no interest in playing Battlefield 3, Disgaea, or 3D Zelda games but I understand why people would like them.
When people don't agree with me about something it's not my natural inclination to then lash out at something they really like, even if I think it's garbage (Oh Yoshi, you don't like Tekken? Fuck you, Yoshis Story is garbage and Yoshi as a character is annoying!) (Mzo, you don't like Tekken? Well fuck you, most anime is for perverted man-children!). Everyone has different opinions. Try to stay on topic.
The current topic is Happy Wars. I think Happy Wars is awful, even for free. I've already said why.
TNL works best when as many of us as possible comment on as many games as possible so we can all use those opinions to make our gaming choices.
I feel like over the years I've figured out what most peoples taste is so I can use what I know in conjunction with their comments on current games to figure out which ones are worth my time and or money.
It would be cool if more of us could grow up and remember why we started using this website in the first place.
I jump to exaggerations and insults right away because I think they're funny. It probably comes off meaner online than irl. Part of it really is me trying to understand.
I'm sure everybody thinks the same of themselves, but I think I have pretty good and varied tastes. There is very little I will immediately dismiss based on the medium alone, and people who do are actually a pet peeve of mine. I actually go out of my way to learn about the things I don't like but respect, trying to find whatever spark it is that makes people love it. Sometimes I find it and sometimes I don't.
My thoughts line up perfectly with Timber. I used to love love love the WWF as a kid, came back to watch it with friends as a teen, which was fun but by then I already knew it sucked, and since have watched it spiral down into unwatchable garbage.
I'm willing to bet it's an attempt to hang on to something that was special once. It's like keeping a loved one's rotting corpse in your living room, or still watching the Simpsons.
Nobody cares about Happy Wars, fuck it.
