[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 8942168, member: 6796661"] Don't know the exact year. Early 80s with the Moldvay Basic Set. 1977. I saw every movie the year it came out. Just now. Have to Google it. Have no idea what it is. In law school, of all places, in 1999/2000. A classmate liked the book and gave me her copy after she finished it. It was pleasant, light reading and I enjoyed it okay, but never felt compelled to read any of the subsequent books. I enjoyed the movies when they came out. In college in the early 90s. Even though I was no longer playing TTRPGs at the time, I remember having a snotty attitude when the game was explained to me. I never played MtG until Christmas this year. My younger son and his friends are into it and he taught me to play over Christmas break. I enjoy playing the game, but I am not a fan of collectible card games like Magic and Pokemon where you buy packs of random cards hoping to get a special. Late 70s? Spiderman Cartoons. Don't recall reading much of the comics until middle school in the early 80s, even then it was usually comics friends owned. I never got into comics. I've red more graphic novels and comics in my 40s that at any other time in my life. Dr. Who. Watched re-runs and new episodes on PBS. I watched Star Trek a bit, but Dr. Who is what I was really into, to the point where in high school in the late 80s I volunteered to answer calls during the PBS annual fund drives. I don't remember when I started. I believe middle school, so early 80s? Tom Baker was the Doctor I started with and was my favorite Doctor and The Master of the Tom Baker era is still the quintessential Master for me. Patrick Troughton was my second favorite. Now, I would probably put David Tenant first and Tom Baker second. The Hobit/Lord of the Rings - Saw The Hobbit (Bass Rankin) animated movie when it was shown in my elementary school in the late 70s. Can't remember when I read the Lord of the Rings books. Middle school, I think. Anime. Late high school. A small number of people were into it in my circle of friends and I remember watching Akira in 88 or 89 and it blew me away. But I didn't catch the bug. Didn't really like other anime films and never watched any until my mid/late 40s when my older son introduced me to Deathnote and Attack on Titan. I'm still very selective of what Anime I watch. Sex. Not until Freshman year of college. What!? That doesn't qualify for big-name geek stuff?! [/QUOTE]
