Retrospectives, commentaries, and deep dives on topics that interest me. Especially nostalgic content from the early 2000s to 2010s- it holds a special place in my overly sentimental heart.
dont wanna feel left out so im also gonna leave a shout out for petz horses 2. the storyline and mystery is unlike anything else i played as a kid lol. but it does remind me of another horse game with a mystery plot line. their was a villainous male character and some secret about the mansion you were staying in that had to do with this puzzle based on playing cards.
I have distinct memories of laying on my stomach on those scooter boards and pretending to be Spider-Man by crawling on the floor. I haven't thought about that in probably close to 20 years. I also remember scooting backwards at insane speeds. Core memory unlocked.
I don’t know but in 2013 me and my friends would trade sillybandz in school! It was pretty popular at my school but I only had three or four that my friends gave me because they didn’t want them. I found them when we moved and I threw them away. It was a bone, a heel, a crown, and a star. Idk why I kept them before, but this video reminded me of them lol ❤
My school did this back when I was in lowerschool. At one point I tripped on one of those floor scooters and hit my chin on the concrete floor. Split it open to the bone like a coconut. Got five stitches. I was really young so I got over the pain in 5 minutes (as children do) so no harm no foul, BUT The scooterboards were not pulled out again for *years*. Oops!
My god these were the GOAT back then, I remember my cousin owned a DS Lite and we would play together a bunch of these games. The ones I remember the most are the ones I rage quitted though lol. I absolutely despise Imagine Fashion Designer New York to these days because we weren't able to figure out how to correctly make some flared jeans or whatever, and I also remember that for some reason it was really difficult in Imagine My Restaurant to make a medium rare steak. Good times.
Our jumprope for heart program (not sure what else to call it) always had, like, 10 highschoolers come and do some sick jumprope tricks IN PERSON. And that was always enough to get everyone hyped, and I assume it continues to be, because it’s not just a video. I never participated really though I have the athleticism of a slug
Not just an American thing! I’m an Aussie and I remember the skateboards you mentioned back in the 2000s and mid 2010s.. apparently they’ve been removed now from schools from what I heard
My school was always so against bringing out the scooters, but we were all SO obsessed with them. The gym would erupt into cheers every time they were sitting out as we walked into class
I found out about Desktop Destroyer literally the exact same way through that exact video where they pretended to cut off pieces of it with the chainsaw.
Something strange is I disliked capture the flag, football and the scooters but I was great at mat ball and was one of the fastest elementary kids (21min 5k at 11).
The only Imagine game I remember playing is Imagine Resort Owner which is so random and specific lol especially because I had never been to a resort. It was fun though.
There’s also a BIG difference between Elementary School PE and High School PE in general, at least in the US School district i went to. I recall Elementary School PE being a lot more creative in the ways the teacher got you moving…or maybe my PE teacher was just FUN? She would set up obstacle courses for us, she knew a lot of fun team building games, all sorts of fun activities. Those were the days when you actually looked forward to gym. 😊 Gym at the Highschool was just so HARSH and Regimented.
I used to be OBSESSED with Petz Cats 2 (same as Petz Dogs 2 just with cats lol). It was so surreal that I thought it was a fever game until I found it again as an adult😭 It gets SUPER wild later on. The final boss is like a weird wolf chimera mix, it's crazy for a "Petz" game
PE wouldn't have been so bad if we weren't graded on how well we did. i get 30 minutes once or twice a week to practice my basketball skills and you want me to make a free throw??? anyway i got a D in PE one year in highschool and i was so fucking angry.
I work with seniors as a social worker. We have a program that gives people with dementia and Alzheimer's robotic companion animals. It's actually scientifically proven to help their symptoms and overall health
We had that at my elementary schools, these were for fundraising for curing childhood heart disease. I did get some keychains of the mascots (I got them from others)
