Since there are other threads for being; sad, happy, ragey(?) and wtf. We might as well have one for Nostalgia.

Spoiler: "Rules" (click to show/hide)

The only rule is to post a link or a story about something nostalgic!

Feel free to discuss anything people bring up.

My nostalgia of the day is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7Qo2QZ8NE8

Runescape was my first ever MMO I ended up playing and was one of my first multiplayer experiences when I was younger. Lets just say it made a lasting impact on a lot of the things I do.

[Pnx]

Watching a stream of Link To The Past right now.

So much Nostalgia, I'm pretty sure this was the game that got me into Snes era games... which got me into retro games...

[Frumple]

Today, I think I felt nostalgic for the nostalgia thread. Also in before the "this will fall under the purview of the emotion threads" comment. Just to get that out of the way.

[Sinlessmoon]

Oh boy, don't I look silly. I did however search for it, not far, but I did search for it.

[Tiruin]

How's about some rules in the OP, Sinless?

Nostalgic: Victory Garden Games' first alpha game. Dankest Dungeon.

Oh gods did it bring back the days where there were "no instructions" in games and we had to find stuff out ourselves. xD
Fun!

Also, looking back at what I cherished in childhood and what I do cherish now. Those leaves from the trees I played with, walks on the country side under the burning sun, and walking in the town plaza, visiting the usual areas where I rested with family/friends and such...

Oh, and all those times I played the PS1.

Also, Metal Slug series. xD
It is so nostalgic, it hurts. >.<

I miss old Runescape so much. It was great because it was janky, low-budget and weird, not despite it. In retrospect, I actually developed a lot of terrible habits during the time I played Runescape, but I still adore the memories. I remember when everybody would sell stuff behind the bank in Varrock, back before the Grand Exchange opened. Good times.

And here's my nostalgic thing. This is my first "favorite song", and it's still one of my favorite metal tracks of all time. I actually listened to a lot of Iron Maiden while playing Runescape, coincidentally!

I approve.

All this talk of nostalgia reminded me of when i was in 2nd grade. It was fun. And now I'm nostalgiaing hard. It's a word from now on.

Dammit, I was going to sleep but now I'm trying to remember everyone, I remember the teacher, the girl I had a crush on, another girl who had the same birthday as me, all that good stuff.

Yeah. ;_;
There were also very kind people then. Now is...very different.
I remember when the worlds were too darn full and you had to wait to get in your favorite world. *sighs*

I miss Tutorial Island. Nowadays there's this "rah rah fantasy war story" going on that is just so painfully beyond the game's means. Having no story just made it so magical and aaaaargh I want old Runescape back. I remember when I bought bloody pants and teleported to Varrock, pretending to be a quest NPC. Nobody fell for it, but I had fun.

In other news, oh god I'm rediscovering all my old music

How's about some rules in the OP, Sinless?

You ask, and you shall receive!

All this stuff about Runescape really makes me sad and nostalgic. Even if you were to go back it would never be the same, you'll miss out on that experience, because basically you were just dropped into this world without really any explanation and you had to figure it out all by yourself. That's something I'll always miss, and being a wide-eyed... 8 year old? (Oh jeeze, 10 years ago already? ) It was just incredibly fascinating and I would spend days just wandering around the world exploring.

[Mindmaker]

Bay12.
Might as well make this into the annoucement that I'm back.

Dohohoho, I do remember those days!

Like when I was finding Lumbridge (yeah, no EZ MAP then). Had to ask a traveler for aid (woohoo, follow function) after being assaulted by a highwayman until we went in front of that ol' castle.
I figured the bridge was the name. Because bridge. xD
And yes. The exploration.
^{Nowadays its POINT CURSOR THIS and COLORED RECTANGLE THAT and MOVE TO THIS LOCATION and ARROW SIGN OVER YOUR FACE.}
 

On that note: They have player-capes. 5/10 year specialty capes that look awesome and have awesome stats.
I wear that as my mourning dress.


Related: When I see good RTDs out: I always remember my first time in this forum (with this forum being my first actual forum I joined ). Seeing the colored words with the nice (abbr) tag, hidden descriptions, special skills, customized effects, brilliant wording...

While little has changed now (other than minimalists sprouting like...weeds. :I Yeah I don't like minimalists), whenever I see a well-written work, it brings back those memories of bliss and awe.

I think I've synesthesia on that matter.

[darkpaladin109]

Neat, there's a thread for this.
I played LEGO racers again. It's still as fun as it was 8 or so years ago.
I also looked at the Bionicle sets I have assembled, and I still have the ones from about 2002, I think? I still remember reading the comic and watching the various movies made for the franchise.
Too bad they cancelled it, but it went on for about 7 years, so it least it lasted a really long time.

Kael's return yesterday

I... I think I remember you...
