A lot of Pokemon fans in this thread from what I've seen... I'm one also...
For me it's Pokemon, 70's cartoons, and drinking a vanilla shake every chance I get.

Erm... I still believe in the wonderfulness that is (at least mildly) inherent in everyone?
And I want to be a superhero when I grow up, but I suppose everyone does. My rationality however has made it clear that, technically, it would be better for me not to have super powers, as my powers are vast and substantial enough for saving the world, I just need to get on it...
But I would like to have super powers! But not too powerful like mind control... ach, gosh damn you logical thought patterns!

The Star Wars stuff is still cool. But yes, most of my favourite buildings in my city are ones I built; the airport, windmill, and church.

Star wars stuff sucks. Except for some nifty parts. SEriously it just a way for them to charge more then they already are. They get more expensive every year.

Still, I have a lego set none of you guys do.Set 605 in red Can't beat the old HO scale lego cars.

Zeno still steals McDonald's toys from happy meals whenever Zeno gets the chance.

It's fun lighting them on fire and having little superhero fights with them. Kinda like RPing multiple characters by one's self.

I watch cartoons on occasion. I play video games often, but don't think that qualifies as a 'kid thing' when the average gamer age is in the 20's or 30's.

In rooms with tiled floors, I will only step on tiles in a certain pattern, or tiles of a certain color. Though I'm not entirely sure whether that is my inner child, or me slipping further into insanity.

A good deal of them contain ultra-gory and violent action. Who besides middle school boys like that stuff? Sure, there are a number of more intelligent games that require cunning and strategy, like Pokémon, but there are still a lot of the children's stuff.

Pokemon requires cunning and strategy? Its not that hard. The only way video games would be a kid thing is if they are playing the children s games. Pokemon technically counts but a lot of adults play it.
