RL games&fun

Aw good old times without internet. Share some real-life fun you had.

Some of the things I can remember we used to do as kids:
-ringing the doorbell and running away
-building a "bunker" in some bushes
-making dogs angry by singing
-sleeping in a tent and getting freaked out when caterpillars were discovered all over the place inside
-falling in the water while taking an obstacle course
-playing with little balls made of glass (I forgot their english name)
-play soccer&basketball all afternoon sometimes
-playing with flashlights in the fog
-playing tag, dodgeball...
-getting and burning bamboo
-buying a ridiculous ammount of food we could not possibly eat all. We stuffed it in each other's face and throwing it all over the streets
-selling stuff to each other that we did not need at all
-making "gangs". I remember those fights and drama for the leadership. Still I was the best leader lol

I won't mention the Ed&Edd&Eddy type of weirdness and mean things. Hard, mean, fun, tough and nostalgic times

 

......

My Real Life Time Fun:

-Shooting a watergun to a moving train
-Ringing a doorbell and run away
-Throw toilet paper to a house and run away
-Place rock in a train track.
-Drawing with my friends
-Throwing rocks at a moving train
-"Secret Handshake" with my friend
-Camping in the woods with my Dad
-Burning wood with a Fireworks
-And some other stuff.

That's all i could remember....

 

Basically LARPing. My friends and I used to create characters and act out really elaborate, surprisingly well-constructed stories with many subplots. I enjoy how I can speak so pretentiously about my childhood, but it's true.

Usually the scenarios were pretty benign: heroes vs villains (and yes sometimes the villains did win), high school dramas (yes really) and fantasy settings. My best (male) friend and I did this near constantly. One time we even acted out an elaborate dramatic romance during a trip to the beach. I was the queen of the ocean, and he was the king of sand, and the crux of the story was that the only place we could meet was on the shoreline. And something about a war between our peoples and blah blah blah. Just remember that we were about 7 ~ 8. We got married at the end of that story. It was fun.

One time though, with my two cousins, shit got way too real. We started a roleplay where my eldest cousin (like... 12 here, and male) was the uptight, conservative, high-expectations mother to me and my female cousin of the same age (we were about 8 ~ 9). We were at it for a good four or five hours. The plot was basically that I was obedient and refined and was constantly trying to impress my "mother", while my "sister" lived in my shadow. The "mother" character was horrendously mean, degrading and demeaning to anyone who didn't live up to her standards. The sister character eventually became unruly and disobedient. There was a subplot involving her having a boyfriend. They would argue over this. Eventually, she said she hated her and left, or something to that effect. So a segment of the story involved my "sister" running away and me finally standing up to my "mother". After I leave, too, the story ended on the note that our "mother" finally reaches a moment of humanity, and, overcome with her regrets and sadness after realizing she had alienated everyone she loved, kills herself (we had found a prop handgun in the room).

We got so caught up in the roles of the characters and the story that we were crying by the ending of it. But god damn. What an experience. We all agreed that it was an amazing story/experience.

 

haha i remember playing a few scenarios like that when i was in elementry school. typical fantasy stuff with adventures and fighting and all that.

i think the most fun i ever had as a kid is when i was on vacation to barbados with my family, and it JUST SO HAPPENED that a really good friend of mine was staying at a resort really close to ours. we played in waves at the beach for an entire day.

 

Hmm....

Back in the Good Old Days, I would always break into the middle school in the middle of the night with a friend and do hilarious things to my friends' lockers (carpetting the inside, covering each thing in saran wrap, tons of ballons, etc.).
We'd also climb on top of the warehouses and derelict train cars in the railroad district when sun was setting, get a sweet view (at the cost of being escorted home by the police a few times... [worth it]).

On the more legal side, we stay up late having video game races, where we tried to see who could complete a gameboy game first (I was best at Yoshi's Island). Also watching japanese game shows when YouTube was just starting out and didn't have many reliable sources of hilarity.
Oh and also YuGiOh, tons of that.


Edit: don't forget Cave Story! Must've played it a million times in middle school.

 

My brother and I used to set up little adventure games throughout the house, we got the idea while we were doing rennovations on the house and had a few new empty rooms. We had little paper keyholes and prop keys made to lead you around the house in Luigi's Mansion fashion, using closests and such as treasure rooms, etc. One of us would set up the game and the other got to go through it. He'd even set up some little LARP-style boss fights using nerf guns and prop swords, after finding the weapons and ammo throughout the journey like a LoZ dungeon. It was pretty cool stuff.

Sometimes it was something we'd set up just to kill and afternoon and other times it took days to prepare and ended up being a whole scripted adventure that took all day.

 

Didn't really do many adventurous or physical things as a child . When I wasn't playing computer games, I mostly played with Barbies, Polly Pockets, dinosaurs, and Pokemon figurines. If I didn't have a toy, or my toy lacked an accessory, I would usually make it out of clay very poorly. It got to the point where my dolls had giant lumps of clay on their feet for "shoes".

I would sometimes play with my sisters when they weren't being dicks, but it was the typical stuff like house. The most notable thing we did was make a parody of the popular PBS Kids show "ZOOM". We called it "POOM" and we would always start the show by saying that ZOOM was evil and that our show was 10x better. My sisters' names were Lacy and Macy, and my name was Daisy because I somehow thought it rhymed. We would just attempt to bake things and make half-assed arts and crafts and end up making a huge mess. My sister also pretended to be a yoga instructor at one point, claiming that mastering it would help you take over the world.

When it came to friends, I didn't do that much. It was mostly video games. When I went through my girly phase at around age 10, my "best friend" and I would read teen magazines and do the fun filled activities in them, then turn on the fan and pretend to be super models or some bullshit like that. Then we pretended to be guinea pigs.

 

-climbing up a factory's roof and throwing firecrackers off of it
-burning stuff for fun (plastic soldiers/tyres/grass)
-putting firecrackers in glass bottles
-building a snowman in the middle of a street
-putting nails on the road and waiting for cars to get their tyres blasted
-graffiti with crayons
-looking for funny meatspin network websites with friends
-going to old abandoned/burned houses


To be 11 again...It's really awesome being a kid in Lithuania, I guess we spent most of our time climbing on roofs and burning/blowing up random stuff (toys, bottles, dirt, anything). I really have to thank the people of my country who didn't call the cops just because a couple of kids were having fun. Also there was this weird bleach thing that's used for cleaning toilets, and if you threw some tinfoil in it, it would explode...That used to be fun.

 

-putting nails on the road and waiting for cars to get their tyres blasted

what the fuck woodenrat

 

Yeah tires are pretty damn expensive. Never saw the appeal of destroying people's cars but hey, if you're a kid you don't have to worry about that stuff at all. Not your car, not your problem. Little shits.

 

Woodenrat you should come to the east coast and contribute to the infinite line of tire pieces along the highway

 

I guess ruining people's property is just too much fun. I remember that day when we decided to put a huge-ass nail on the road. I was about 8 years old maybe even younger. It took a while for a car's wheel to actually hit it, but when it did, we laughed our asses off. I wonder what the driver is doing now, 10 years later, and if he still remembers what happened...

 

He probably didn't laugh with you guys that day though

 

He was probably pissed as hell.

 

me and my friends got into fights in which we would attack each other with deoderant.

such gassy, noxious fun

 

you and your friends are the worst kind of people

i remember in middle school, walking into locker rooms bought tears to my eyes. the air was literally toxic.

 

My brothers did that once and then our parents found out, we got the "You are going to get cancer or at least lung disease and die choking on your own blood" speech and were not allowed to have aerosol products ever again.

 

Ah I can almost smell the noxious cloud of Axe assailing my nostrils every time I walked by the boys' locker room in Middle School. Can't say that it aroused me.

 

Also we used to punch eachoter in the ribs occasionally. It was a game called "Pychionke", it means "side" or something like that in russian.

 

There was cruelty, yes. Firecrackers, once a kid brought some newt in school and that got flushed down the toilet, nicknames, cruely and fights. Not any of that I'd really classify for games&fun. We had pretty fun soccer and basketball games (the latter especially for me with my 2 meters) and random nonsense.
