| 1108 | Article | Vaporman87 | I enjoyed reading about your time with toys. It reminded me quite a bit of the my own times spent playing, as I commented in Part 1. Then introducing a video camera into the mix reminded EVEN MORE of my own home movies, some using toys, some just me and family/friends. It's a really cool feeling to see the things you're imagining in your head come to life on screen, especially as a kid. Though, I was never satisfied with the end product like I thought I would be. So, instead of recollecting all your old toys and shooting new movies, do like I did. Buy an inexpensive video editing program, take your OLD movies, and "enhance" them to fit what you would have liked them to be when you originally filmed them. Check out the Home Movies category of the Video page here, and look for "Lost Few". That movie was filmed by me and friends in 1989 or 1990, somewhere around there. Then many, many years later, I reworked it to be what I wanted it to be. It was cool. Just an idea. ;) | The Evolution of Fun - Part II | May 31, 2014 | |
| 1101 | Article | Vaporman87 | That's such an odd set up for a school schedule. I've never heard of such a thing. Typically, our schedule was traditional, as you mentioned. We would be back in school by late August, and out around the first of June, with all the typical breaks in between. The final two summers of my life were a bit different though, in that I went from attending high school to attending a college preparatory program known as Upward Bound. While I hated not being able to be home for such a long period of time, I still made many memories in the program. | Summer... What Summer | May 27, 2014 | |
| 1102 | Article | pikachulover | I'm not sure if they had year round school in other states. I know they did in Fresno where my uncle was a teacher. He taught at a year round school where they got six week breaks. | Summer... What Summer | May 27, 2014 | |
| 1110 | Article | Fulton4V | My stepsister went to a school with a set up much like that. Except they always would get at least 2 months of summer off. | Summer... What Summer | Jun 02, 2014 | |
| 1100 | Article | Vaporman87 | Nothing so wondrous as our childhood toy collections, is there? Like you, I tended to take my figures out of their traditional roles and re-purpose them for my own storylines. I think I have mentioned before that many times my G.I. Joe figures took on new personae in the form of my schoolmates. That happened quite a bit, and usually Baroness was my boyhood crush. LOL I can recall the nice selection of Batman Animated action figures. That was truly a classic show, and one that produced a wealth of characters to draw from. I can also recall the night my friend and I went to watch The Matrix, and then hit up Toys 'R Us for their late night introduction of the Phantom Menace toys. There was so much hope for those movies then. What a let down. >:[ I'm looking forward to Part Two kstrom! | The Evolution of Fun | May 27, 2014 | |
| 1103 | Article | DoctorRyan | Good article, I really enjoyed how you made up your own storylines with your toys as I also did quite a bit. Of course I always pretended that I myself was He-Man as I was quite small when I was little. Your story brought those memories back to me. So thank you, great writing. | The Evolution of Fun | May 28, 2014 | |
| 1111 | Article | Fulton4V | Lots of cool toys! My grandma had something like that sit and spin tohy but there was not any middle post to hang on to. You just sat on this big circle and used your hands to spin yourself. It was made of metal and had a bunch of ridges in it. I dont know what that was. | The Evolution of Fun | Jun 02, 2014 | |
