Just as examples:

  • I’ve never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
  • I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn’t realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.

    I can’t make it more than an hour though the first Lord Of The Rings without falling asleep. It just doesn’t fancy me.

    I’ve yet to watch Schindler List. I feel like it’s signing up for feeling bad for 2 hours 😕

    I’m also big into Sci-fi, and have yet to watch the OG Star Treks, Stargate, Babylon 5, or Dr. Who

    Not quite what you are asking, but the first time I saw the video from 9-11 of a plane crashing into a building was around 2014-2015 when I moved to NYC. The people I was working with there couldn’t seem to believe that I had never seen it.

    I’ve never seen Lost, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or any of the rest of the mandatory drama television genre. I gave up partway through watching Battlestar Galactica and kinda just stopped watching television.

    For awhile there, the only non-technical conversation I could have was “Did you see Game of Thrones last night?” “No, I don’t watch that show.” “Oh. Bye.” Humanity’s ability to talk about anything except heartburn drama television for the last decade and a half kind of weaned me off of socializing.

    I have never read the Harry Potter series.

    I plowed through all sorts books as a kid in the 2000s but never picked them up.

    Yeah I think I’m cool with that.

    I have two of yours. honestly I just don’t care what I might have or not seen. there is just to much that flies by to fast in modern times and everything is fractured. Everything that is a thing now likely was never watched by a majority of people. its not like when the broadcasters were the only game in town. even with cable their stuff was seen by more eyeballs because it was available. I remember folks who felt it was a badge of honor to not see stuff everyone has seen. like its a wonderful life.

    I haven’t watched a lot of movies in general, be it mainstream or indie. Completely my own fault, since I’m built different when it comes to setting up a roadblock for myself, in that regard.

    I know it’s been out forever and a day, but Prometheus being in the Alien canon is kind of a spoiler.

    I never watched Game of Thrones. I only watched the very last episode because the friends decided it’d be fun to watch, and even then I was disappointed lol

    I also never read any books based on any RPG or other games (D&D, World of Darkness, 40k)

      They only made 4 seasons of Game of Thrones. Really wished they had made more, but what can you do?

    I didn’t watch the show Firefly. I had already been using this screenname for a long time when that show came out, but people began to assume I was a fan and named myself after it.

    While I’m generally a scifi fan and watched tons of sci-fi TV in those days, the Buffy shows a lot of my friends were into bored the hell out of me and I didn’t feel like checking out another show by the same guy.

    I do have the DVDs on my shelf, having picked them up cheap secondhand somewhere ages ago thinking I might just get it overwith someday, but the more I’ve learned about Joss Whedon over the years the less inclined I found myself to check it out.

      fwiw, Firefly is nothing like Buffy.

    I’ve never had Instagram, tik Tok, twitter, or most other socials. I had Facebook, that’s pretty much it. But no longer.
