Pointless update
Aug. 20th, 2008 05:08 amMan, you know what I found? Well, those of you who read my lame comic journal already saw it, but for the rest of you, 3-D Dinosaur Adventure gave me a phobia of dinosaurs that has stuck with me to this day. Any time I'm, say, playing a video game and a dinosaur or a dinosaur-like monster pops up, I get super jittery and can barely even control the characters because I'm SO AFRAID OMG and it's actually caused me to get REALLY stuck in certain games, just because I'm too scared to get past it and am so violently opposed to it that I don't even want to TRY to get past it. It's actually kind of hilarious.
Anyway, because I'm a masochist, I decided to look up 3-D Dinosaur Adventure on YouTube and see what came up, and lo and behold, I found the exact intro that I was talking about (though whoever posted it added their own music, which is kind of a bummer). I-it's even creepier than I remember D: Same with this. I'm sure you guys are looking at those and loling at how I could ever be afraid of them, but imagine being, like, three, and watching these completely unprepared for anything remotely scary and IN 3-D. I think I actually burst into tears when I first watched that intro.
ANYWAY, what's sorta funny is that there was a thread goin' on a few days ago about "repressed video game memories" or something, and I decided to bring up 3-D Dinosaur Adventure. And y'know what? I actually wound up getting tons of replies from people saying the exact same thing--that the intro was surprisingly freaky, the maze creeped them out, that the whole game had this eerie atmosphere, etc--and when I posted the intro, people agreed that it still scared the crap out of them. I-I'M NOT ALONE ;_; All this time and I thought no one else but me and maybe two other people even PLAYED that game, man. And the real kicker is that now I actually really want to play it again just to creep myself out. I'm never going to learn, am I
... so I guess I just wanted to share that! WHAT ARE YOUR VIDEO GAME FEARS, F-LIST?
And, um, I always feel kind of attention whore-ish doing these, but I'm kind of curious with this one. :> If you secretly think I'm obnoxious and weird then now is the time to let me know!
