My comment about Top Gun in Doom: The Movie gave me the idea to start a topic about amazing things that people here haven't done. Think about things generally considered to be common experience in (y)our society and culture that you haven't experienced yourself. For example, if you, say, have never eaten at McDonald's, have never waved Hi to a mailman, or have never used a public restroom, then you should definitely mention those things here. Feel free to either post the single most amazing unexperience you've had or list all of the things you haven't done that you think would be surprising.
As for me, I have never . . .
played a Final Fantasy game
used a PlayStation 2
owned a Game Boy/Color game
had a Krispy Kreme donut
drunk Mountain Dew
seen the movie Titanic
gone fishing

This thread idea is fantastic. I need to think. I'll be back.
Lizards in zoos are really dudes - dudes using disguises everyday.

Yay for originality in thread making! Yay for Watoad!
I haven't:
played a Final Fantasty game.
owned a NES
eaten real macaroni and cheese or rice
Time slowed and Reality bent.
But on and on the Eggman went.
-
I have never...
kissed (or been kissed by) a girl.
played Warcraft series, XBox, Final Fantasy series, Mega Man series, Goldeneye 64, Halo, and many other games that are gernerally played by society.
learned to play the guitar.
desired to get my driver's license.
made a good first impression.

Yeah, it is a good idea! I had an idea kind of like this that I was saving for later, but I'll probably still use it some time. And someone needs to mail Megaman Anniversary to Markio (just to borrow) so he can experience how fun it is.

Wow. I'm wondering how you've managed to never poop in a public bathroom... Not even at school? And what do you mean you never finished a story?

I've never finished a story. I'll get started on one, but I won't ever complete it. Oh sure, I've got "Mario's Sacrifice," but I kept writing sequals with no end. And about the bathroom. I just haven't had the urge to poop in public or at school. It's weird.

Sapphira, your posts are almost always good imo. You have a lot of fun to say or at least some really humorous stuff (not hitting on anyone here).
* Never had a really serious injury thankfully
* Had a beard, mullet, or mustache
* Made a topic in FF that lasted very long (pity alert!)
* Read a LoTR or Harry Potter book but have seen the LoTR movies.
* Gone bungy jumping or sky diving, which I would love to do (want to join me, anyone? XD)
* Made a Mario fan fic but I have come close to it at times. Like I wanted to make one about SSBM, and another time one about Yoshisaurus (an evil dimension traveling scientist gives a Yoshi some of the DNA of a tyrannosaurus and he becomes huge, then has to defend his island from enemies)
* Won a multi-player match in Halo
Does anyone else get this crazy feeling that Watoad is supposed to give us everything that we want soon? Lol. I kind of do. Must be from hearing about too many reality TV shows. It's the "Reality TV expectancy virus"!

Sapphira, you need to try some of those experiences. I suggest eating one piece of sushi (with soy sauce, you "sauce on everything" lady). Also, you should read To Kill A Mockingbird. It's a really great book. As for Romeo and Juliet, you should probably know the plot for future references, maybe... I'm guessing you already do.
I've also never actually dyed my hair, except for one play, but it was wash-out-able halloween black hair stuff, hardly dye. I'm a guy, so that's pretty normal.

While I share about 80% of Sapphira's "unexperiences," you seriously need to go camping. Everybody should go camping, even if they have severe allergies like me.
Also, I was tricked into tasting an alcoholic beverage (which I discovered to taste horrible). Let's just say I didn't know what "hard" meant, and I like lemonade. Normal lemonade. I still grow furious every time I think about this...
Grrrrr...
-
Sapphira's never said a swear word or used profanity? Wow.
I rarely swear, even online, and I've almost never taken God's name in vain (I think I only did that a few times when I was a little kid), but managing to never say swear words or use profane language is an amazing feat.

What are you talking about?!!
Here are some more things that I've never done:
Played LoZ: A Link to the Past for more than two or three minutes at a time
Read a Redwall book
Posted in Story Boards
Used any of God's names as a swear word
Watched any TV show that began over the last five to seven years (in America)
Done a cartwheel
Been to a real concert (i.e. not counting those held at my family's church)
Gone skiing or snowboarding
Had any formal education in geography (which embarrasses me because I don't know where anything is)
-
Watoad, you're lucky the shows you watch BEGAN from not recent years. All the recently created ones are not as good. It worries me to think that not knowing geography could hurt you in the future. I learned all the states by playing "states tag" in fifth grade, where you have to run to the sate that is called without being tagged, so if they don't know where it is, you have a better chance of tagging them while they run in hopeless circles around the giant USA map on the blacktop. Wish they had painted capitals too, I can't remember those...

Some more things (Too lazy to edit my post again):
Been out of the country (Though, hopefully, that'll change)
Been out of the Northeastern U.S.
Played 32nd notes (In X/4 time, I've played them in 8/8 once)
Met another mentally stable TMKer
Learned Sapphira's last name (:P)
-
If you saw me with all caps don't ban me, that was just some wierd thing that happened. Here's the list:
1. Met a TMK member. (Want it to change though.)
2. Had The Sims 2 (Want it bad!!)
3. Read an entire Hrry Potter book (I never even read a page.)
4. Aced HTML (But I practice with photbucket.)
5. Put a topic in the Story Boards more than once. (The one time I did is called Wario's Diet.)
6. Had 14 birthdays (Ha, ha! Im only 13!)
7. Been a very good artist. (Im pretty good, but not the best.)
8. Had an at home game system, besides PSOne. (It's broken now though!)
9. Had more than three Sims Expansion packs (I plan on getting more though.)
10. Used the username Bigmariofan1.0 more than twice. (From now on though this is my username on any more forums I go to.)
11. Liked Mario Portal a ton. (A good place for fan-games, but too much cusssing for me.)
12. Speaking of which, I don't plan on cussing.
13. Thought someone had a bigger vid-game collection. (That changed when I saw the "Pictures of Your Videogame collections" thread.)
14. Typed as long as this in any forums more than twice. (The other time was in my topic in Story Boards.)
15. Used a Virtual Boy. (They look kind of cool though.)
16. Understood Games Factory. (That thing is for experts, too complicating for me!)
17. Had a small amount of games to make with Game Maker. (I love Game Maker, and I have so many ideas for games.)
18. Been to a forum that isn't Mario related. (But I've been to the General Chats. Duh!)
19. Thought about signing up for Survivor, or Fear Factor. (Im thinking about the Amazing Race, though.)
20. Had any type of special hair-cut. (But I have, turned my hair silver.)
21. Been so attached to any forums but these. (These are the best forums out there!)
Definetly, "To be Continued."

I'm with Watoad. I don't know my Geography either. No one ever taught me.

Sapphira wins? That's not fair. You can't change what you haven't done. Also, I thought this was a topic where you were supposed to say things you haven't done that most people have. I'm pretty sure most of us haven't touched guns or done drugs. At least not unprescribed. I'm guessing about half of us have touched guns, though, it's really only half uncommon. Also, if Sapphira has missed out on so many things, I'd say she's lost. Sapphira, you should do some more stuff. We ALL should if we want to live more lived lives.

"There's nothing wrong with being Gay or Bi, especially Bi. But I'd rather not get into a discussion about Religion or Politics so I'll drop it."
I disagree, assuming you were talking about people who are actively homosexual or bisexual. But I know how arguments like these turn out, and they never seem to end up changing what anyone believes, so I won't pursue this further either.
Anyway, I can see a number of things on people's lists which also apply to me.

Why, when you can just click on the username and see it on their profile?
There are five or more things worth noticing in this image.
1) You registered 2 1/2 years ago.
2) That was your first and only post--and did so about 2 years after you joined.
3) You're the only one whose subject title is original--not a "re:"; it also lists the subject in every single post.
4) Everyone else joined way after you, and their post counts are ridiculously high; everyone has a title based on post count.
5) Someone did a quote within a quote--and to say something lame and that would've been easier to just say, "Yeah, PMTTYD is the best game." Saying WHY it's the best game would've been even better, making the reply not 'lame' altogether. ._.
6) Number of views is listed on each POST, not to mention too much stuff is listed in the username column, which could be just listed in the profile.
7) Banner sigs, AAAAAH. Oh, and avatars. You're the only one with no banner sig, too.
8) Your username is what your original one on the FF was.
Edit: AAH, "8)" turns into a smiley. How annoying. >_<

Seriously though, the displayed join date is just something I'm used to seeing. Not saying this forum needs it, but it would be nice.

Nice job, Sapph! In some form or another you got everything that I felt to be worth noticing, plus a few others. I'm impressed.
Well, and I'm glad that we mutually see what a sham such message boards as that one are in comparison to what we have here. In how much more perfect of an environment could that single post of mine have appeared? Not any better, I would think, which means either that I got lucky or that the chances of being surrounded by such content-free material are pretty high in a place like that.
P.S. I still don't know how to control the smileys here.
-
Huzzah! \:D/
P.S. What you can do is below the reply box, click on "Additional Options..." and check "Don't use smileys" if you, well, don't want smileys. Other than that, something you say might turn into an unwanted emote. XD
Most of them are pretty obvious emotes, like :) :D ;) :( :'( :o etc. (I turned off emotes so they wouldn't change, and you could actually tell what the text that creates them is.)
-
Ah, okay. Thanks!
:) :D ;) :( :'( :o
:) :D ;) :( :'( :o
-
:o How were you able to do both non-icon emotes and icon emotes like that?
-
It's just mind boggling to think of all the things I haven't done. I can't even think of any of them right now. Did I post here before? I couldn't find a post of mine in here.
-
Until just now, then, posting in here was something you hadn't done. So at least you (almost) gave us one thing.
Oh, and Sapph: There are two possible ways that I can think of. What I did was use Unicode, but one also could theoretically insert the smiley images with the image bbqcode[] simplified everything equals nothing equals everything easy easy boy this is [ F ] [ U ] [ N ] stupid command system. In [i]theory[/i].
-
I love BBQ codes.

I've noticed some abnormally strong disapproval of topic-bumping lately, so I guess I should apologize for this post or something. What I have to say is not "phenomenal." If you ask me, however, bumping is often a better choice than creating a new topic.
Before today, there was another item on my life's list of unexperiences that I didn't think to include in my lists here:
Today that unexperience came to an end. What's really notable about it, sadly, is that I didn't like it at all. Sorry, Lizard Dude.
I was unable to stay centralized on that little, metal square in the middle, and I couldn't find the arrows with my feet without taking my eyes off of the screen—which messed me up every time I did. Never before have I gotten so frustrated so quickly with a video game. It was really quite sad. I slammed the soles of my shoes onto the flashing plastic in anger, at one point half fell off the platform, and ended up altogether walking away before the song ended.
"Stupid Japanese video games!" I thought.
But at least I knew, even as I thought so, that I was wrong. I still take pride in knowing Montana's third-best player, and he is permanent proof to me that DDR is mysteriously somehow a great game.
-
I wouldn't be so quick to simply dismiss it after one try, but that's just me. When I do play I have some trouble staying coordinated. Someday when I have more time to practice DDR, I will.
-
I can play it on my computer, with my fingers.
But, my attempts to get a pad, as well as a PS2 to USB adaptor, failed.
The fact that production of DDR: Mario Mix is halted until March, so I still do not know how to play the real way.
-
I have never:
- owned NES but I plan to
- owned XBOX, because it sucks.
- talked to a cop
- had a real haircut after 10, just trims (my hair is down past my sholders now.)
- failed a paper
- lost a fist fight
- used skis
-
DDR Mario Mix is actually a game my family didn't mind, how did you get one? Are they back in production?
-
Thank goodness I got that for Christmas! I began to worry when I heard that they weren't getting restocked until the spring. The game is a riot, and by that I mean it's not only fun but also super hilarious. Every single time I play Garden Boogie and see the 3 Koopas waving their arms to the cool music I laugh hard. I also love the Mario remixes, especially "Jump! Jump! Jump!" that makes you want to shout and jump off the walls.
Watoad: Don't give up on DDR! It's so fun when you get good at it (and nice to learn a new type of game). The first time I played it I had the same trouble you did and my feet kept missing the buttons until I wanted to play Kick Kick Revolution by kicking the TV off the stand. But if you practice over and over then eventually you can get a mental picture in your head of where they are, like the buttons on a controller. However, beware of the down arrow because that little monster is so easy to miss if you're not careful! As long as the mat doesn't slide around too much, you really listen to the beat, figure out good foot movements, and never give up, then you can handle the tough stuff and move on to harder things. You can do it!
Here's a little warning for beginners who are going to play Mario Mix. When you play Deep Freeze and later songs on Very Hard, make sure you're ready to do crazy things that will make your legs fly around. I really don't like to hear that this game is easy because I'm having enough problems with this alone!
BLF1: Hope you can get the game soon.
Oh what else haven't I done?
- Written Mario fan fiction (but may soon).
- Been to Disney World
- Seen Old Yeller, the Rocky movies, or some other popular shows
- Read all of the Chronicles of Narnia books (but I'm on the second one now)
- Rode a snow mobile, hot air balloon, or hang glider
-
Hm. Maybe I should get DDRMM to exercise, like your old sig. I need to get rid of this egg nog...
What kind of mat does it come with? If it's a soft one that's can get all wrinkly you can glue it to one of those things you put under computer chairs, I think.
-
DDR:MM can seriously make you sore. I've burnt more than 320 calories on it (it tracks it if you set up a profile), and I don't play it too often. Also, note that the heavier you are, the more calories you burn. At 124 pounds, I don't rack up calories easily.
-
BP: It's a big soft mat (I think you call it soft compared to the other ones. I've only played on one other mat before for a Playstation one). The instructions on it say to play barefoot but that's impossible because your feet will probably stick too much. That's almost as bad as when I heard an instruction book say "use the smallest TV you have in the house and sit back as far as you can." Then... buy glasses for yourself after too much eye strain. 8-(
Suffix: How long do you play it and what do you play on? I play for around 30 minutes or more on the Very Hard setting (twice a day or more sometimes) and don't feel too sore (except for buckets of sweat), but I used to hurt a lot when I wasn't very experienced. Maybe weight, experience, and difficulty play a part in duration. I weigh around 180 pounds and think I burnt almost 2000 calories so far but I didn't start the tracker right away so it should be more than that. I feel like going to an arcade now and seeing how I do there (am I just hungry for new music or want to show off? Don't know).
-
I do it on Normal, and I've played it for about 30 minutes every other day since December 30th. This is the first time I've ever experienced DDR, and I can say that I do enjoy it.
-
Oh yes, DDR is a very enjoyful experience. That is, if you have pads that live through a good pounding =/
Suffix, I'm a bit heavier then you and I bet way taller than you, so I guess I burn a few more calories. I never really use that thing; i just try to get AA on all the songs on Standard.
-
If you've only played Mario Mix and get to thinking you're pr0 at DDR, I'd just like to say watch out when you play other mixes.
-
I don't have MM. I play Ultramix and Ultramix 2. And now, thanks to christmas, Ultramix 3.
-
I have never read a whole book that was required in English class, but I do currently have a 91%.
-
I've never milked a cow, though I've enjoyed the milk.
I've never fought the man, but he still won.
I've never understood shawnes posts, yet I still like them.
I've never wasted a million dollars, but I'd like to try.
I've never found the any key.
-
Today I got the urge to post in this topic, but I could think of only two things that I haven't done. (I'm sure there are more.) They are:
- get stung by a bee; and
- go west of Nashville.
And you would think unexperiences would come easily...
-
I have never listened to a whole Green Day song. (I might have, but I wouldn't have known)
I also haven't listened to really any really big bands that weren't from the 60's, or early 70's.
-
I have never..
- completely finished the first Metroid game (I can't stand it long enough to finish it)
- I've never imported a game (though am thinking about it, with Itadaki Street DS)
-
I've never buy something from Australia
I've never drink milk
I've never punched a kangaroo
I've never be in the same room with 10 girls eating burritos
I've never ride a horse
I've never beaten Final fight 3
when I remember more stuff, I will post, in other case I don't.
-
How long is it before a topic is considered dead?
Anyway, I randomly thought of an un-experience that I wanted to share. How/when I thought of this, I have no clue..
I have never fainted, and have often wondered what it's like..
-
Actually, I've never fainted either.
Did I say here I've never been on an airplane? Because, I've not done that, either.
-
I don't feel like looking for my older post, so I might as well post again:
- I've never played a Final Fantasy (Yes, I know. Poor me.)
- I've never driven a car legally. (I don't drive unless I'm in a empty parking lot though.)
- I've never ridden on a school bus until just recently.
- I've never bought music through a download service. (No iTunes or anything; it all came from the store.)
- I've never been east or north of America. (I have been south though.)
- I've have never been to New York or California.
- I've never been able to hop around with my left leg behind my head. (But I'm getting close!)
Anyway, I've never fainted before, but I've been knocked out by falling off of a high bridge before! (It was pretty cool until I hit the giant rocks and was knocked out.)
-
I have never fainted, and have often wondered what it's like..
I've gotten really close. Once when I injured my knee and once during health class.
You know how sometimes when you're sitting or lying down and then you get up really fast, and you get dizzy and you see colors for a little bit?
It's a lot like that, and then it gets worse and worse and you feel like you can't overcome it. This is the part where I lie down and it goes away after a bit. I assume if I had kept standing, I would have just lost consciousness and woken up after I hit the ground without really knowing what happened.
I've also seen what it LOOKS like to pass out. People pass out during marching band all the time. They just kinda fall backwards and then when they hit the ground they immediately sit up or try to stand again, acting like nothing happened. This one girl passed out one time and then tried to get up and her legs were shaking under her like a newborn gazelle. It was pretty funny.
-
Hmm...I've never
watched all of Star Wars Episode I
gotten beaten up by anyone older than ten, not counting my girlfriend
found Snakes on a Plane jokes that funny
driven a car
beaten Metal Gear Solid 3 without catching the Tsuchinoko, even though I already unlocked the Infinity Facepaint
posted in this topic until now
-
I've not seen all of Star Wars Episode IV, and none of V or VI.
-
I've never seen any Star Wars movies.
-
Expect to see a lot of repeats... I suspect many of us are here because we all have similar traits.
As of Thursday, December 13th, I have never...
-Shot a real gun (BB's don't count in my book)
-Beaten SMB 1, 2, or 3 or Zelda 1 and 2. Actually, come to think of it, I don't think I've beaten anything on the NES...
-Done drugs or alcohol (and I obviously don't intend to)
-Intentionally broken a law (I think jaywalking and going past "Do not Cross" signs are under the radar)
-Sang public karaoke
-Gotten into a fight
-Been to PAX, E3, or any other major convention
-Gotten an actor's autograph
-Fainted
-Imported anything
-Read any of those "classics" (bleck...) like War and Peace (not if my English teacher has anything to say about it, though--I'm reading A Tale of Two Cities right now, and it's atrocious)
-Owned any other console than a Nintendo one (but if they keep up the way they're going now, that could change...)
-Watched any of the Godfather movies all the way through
-Had an inhaler
-Permanently dyed my hair, owned a cellphone, drank an energy drink, wanted a car, had a Myspace/Facebook, or pined for a car. And I'm happy!
-Kissed a girl
-
I've never listened to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven".
...Until now. *listens to it on YouTube* Meh. I don't see what all the fuss is about. I should probably run now for saying anything against Zeppelin. *runs*
-
^ Yeah, true. I mean, I heard it first eons ago, but I still agree. Great guitar, 'n' all, but I've never been much for LZ's stoner fantasy lyrics.
-
I'm going to go ahead and say you missed the point of Led Zeppelin. What's "stoner fantasy" defined as? When Plant gets philosophical he gets philosophical.
