I also went books and films. While I really, really love the LotR series both in book and movie form, I've read the books twice and seen the films more times than I care to admit :oops2:
There are plenty of films I'll regret never having seen, but considering how much I rely on the other two options it's a pretty easy decision.
Videogames are an obvious keep, as not only have they had a profound impact on my life but I've always wanted to be a videogame programmer/designer myself. As for music, I listen to music almost constantly. I wouldn't be surprised if over 50% of my waking hours for the past couple of years have been spent listening to music, I listen throughout the entirety of the school day, the majority of my free time at home and I often fall asleep listening to music.
 
I too went with books and films. I'm not much of a book reader, and I don't watch enough films to keep them. I play video games almost every day since I've been a little kid and I can't see myself in a world without music. It wouldn't be the same.
 
I am sensing a trend here.....but I too went with books and films, though if I was only choosing one, it would be films. There are still some books that I like reading. I have nothing else to say on this.
 
I'd pick books and then I guess movies :?: I can't really think of any concrete reason for why I prefer games to fillems, only that I play them more often. Music is definitely at the top though.

Hmm.. I'd say favourite console but there's far too many. Maybe either one between PS2, Gamecube and Xbox or else maybe do you prefer 80's 90's 00's or current gen consoles / games as your favourite ones?

You know I actually have been thinking of this suggestion lately, but I know there's too many to count. But I wonder, how about specific consoles/handhelds from a specific video game company (I.e. Which Nintendo console/handheld is your favorite?)

Of course that's only a suggestion, and I'm not sure if that would work anyway but it's still a shot in the dark considering the poll ends tomorrow and to me I feel like this poll went almost exactly the way I was thinking it would.
 
Does a new poll need to be suggested?

If so, here's mine: Do you still watch cartoons you watched when you were a child?
 
I'll do that one because it's nice and easy and I don't have much energy at the moment. But I might get back to that console one, in some form or another. Keep ruminating on it!

Ill go with occasionally since I don't get to watch them as often due to not having the TV channels. I do still watch some of them but those are still on the air and aren't really classed as kids cartoons so they defeat the purpose.
 
I went with occasionally for nostalgia, since I hardly have time to watch these days, but when I do, it's usually a binge watch, although these are pretty uncommon for me to do these days.
 
I never commented on the last poll so I'll start with that:

I picked books and songs, this is more of a personal preference since I have a huge love to film as an art form, and video games I've known since a very young age and wouldn't want them to go away.

As for the current poll, I picked occasionally since as a dumb child not everything I used to watch was considered good or is still something I like to watch.
 
Turns out I hadn't voted, silly me :oops2:

Anyway I decided to go with occasionally as I just thought about it as I was voting. I don't really get to see them as much anymore but that doesn't mean I don't still like them :P
 
Except for The Simpsons, I haven't watched them anymore. I have transitioned to watching live action shows over the past 4-5 years.
 
Huh, so many threads have been created/bumped lately that this thread just fell into the depths. Bump.
 
That's a good idea too. I think if the idea was used that link should also be up on the poll, since I didn't know handhelds could be consoles (or so wikipedia indicates..)

Yeah I guess so people aren't mislead.
