Yu-Gi-Oh

[PAfolwr]

I am posting this on this board because I get the impression there's a few more younger posters on here.
I just took the kids to see the movie, and man we found it hard work (wife and I that is), but the kids seemed to like it. Also a couple of young lads at work (very early twenties) are massive fans and tell me that it has a massive cult following.
Am I becoming one of those dreaded old farts?
Would I be going to the footy with knitting needles if I barracked for the Crows?
What do people on here think of it?

?

Most definitely & welcome to the club


Never even heard of Yu_Gi_Oh let alone seen the movie so i guess that would make me a Grand Master of the Old Farts Club.

 

[Markthirtytwo]

Cant beat me, I'm the Great Grand Master

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

dont fret, im only 21 and I have never heard of this yu-gi-oh thing before either, I thought it might of been a star wars character

Obviously Im also a huge star wars fans

Ahh noddy, we salute you, oh Grand Master of the Old Farts Club!!

As I age and head towards Old Fartdom, you will be the pinnacle of old Farts that like all others I will aspire to!!

As for Yu_Gi_Oh, you've missed nothing. It's the latest kiddy craze with kiddy heroes and dragons and all that crap - actually nothing more than a great big money-making rip-off with TV series, DVD's swap cards, and other merchandise.

As for the junior Old Fart, PAfolwr, you're a braver man than I am Gunga Din sitting though a whole movie of that crap!!

 

[bluecrow]

Oh don't get me started. I don't get the whole craze?!! I have little kids (like anywhere from 4-20 haha - so big kids too) coming into work all the time buying the packs of 7 cards ($7 for $7 cards, $40 for a collectors tin ). Save your money kiddies!

 

[tribey]

Yu-Gi-Oh... My... God.

 

[portentous]

I had to sit through with my 2 boys too and it made absolutely no sense to me. Nothing new there I guess........It's not quite as bad as Pokemon though.

You're not alone. I've seen a bit of it and it is hard work to watch.

In fact its awful compared to seom of the Japanese cartoons I used to watch as a boy - Transformers, Battle Of The Planets, Voltron etc.

 

[slappy]

Yu-Gi-Oh

sounds like a good crap to me

 

[maccas_no1]

My daughter is neo-pets mad ATM, Im like what??? What are neo-pets???? I know you get them from McDonalds but thats it

 

[Heisenberg_]

Apart from younger kids, i dont know many people over 12 who like it, who arent nerds that spend there whole life playing crap computer games

 

[Stiffy_18]

Who or what the hell is Yu-Gi-Oh??????

 

[PAfolwr]

Who or what the hell is Yu-Gi-Oh??????

 

[Stiffy_18]

Never seen it, never heard of it

Does that mean I am old????

Voltron - I LOVED Voltron, especially the one with the lions instead of the cars, boats and places. I lived in Hawker in the Flinders during my formative years so the only tv we got was really the abc - the best cartoons! voltron, simba, astro-boy, banana man etc

 

[PAfolwr]

Nah.
Just lucky.

How'd you go with your assignment?

 

[Stiffy_18]

Nah.

Phew

Excellent. Figured it out at 3 am. Just had one of the closing brackets in the wrong spot so it game me a different result than it should have. Fixed that and it worked like a dream

 

[PAfolwr]

Noddy, Macca et al, thanks for your support.
I humbly accept the invite to join the old fart club. Strength in numbers.
BUT
No Yu-Gi-Oh during Video nights please.
Gone With The Wind I can put up with for a little while. Last Tango in Paris, Spaghetti Westerns and anything with Nastassja Kinski is fine (actually the more Nastassja the better ). I'll even sit through Dr Zhivago if I have to, but please please please, no Yu-Gi-Oh.
Once is more than enough.

No matter what programming you do it's amazing what difference one stray bracket can do, and from what I saw, in this type it's even more so.

So true.

One astray bracket can throw up SO many errors or might give you completely different output to what you are after.

The reason I don't like lisp is because it has a LOT more brackets than any other PL I have ever come accross.

 

[Skippy_14]

My younger brother watches it. Just another crappy Japanese cartoon. The only good cartoons are Captain Planet and Garfield.

 

[macca23]

Last Tango in Paris

Ah yes, I remember THAT scene!!

You're obviously not quite ready to join the old fart's club yet!!

 

[tribey]

Ah yes, I remember THAT scene!!

Is that the one where butter wouldn't melt in Marlon Brando's mouth?...

That's the one!! Actually the butter never even got close to his mouth!! :
