Little Mermaid was based off something?  I had no idea.

O_o

Seriously???


Yeah, never heard that tale before.

Though I never heard many fairytales at all.

My parents generally read me educational books.


Historical and Adult Sci-fi books were generally what i read as a kid as well.  

That sounds like a crappy childhood. No wonder you're so... peculiar.

It's a very wonderful and at the same time depressing fairy tale, written by beloved children's author and lifetime virgin Hans Christian Andersen. Don't know if I should say any more. Maybe you'll want to read it.


Why?  Sci-Fi books are great.

Aside from that I had my Nintendo, Balley Astrocade and Atari 2600.

Tons of friends to play sports with.

Just never had the inclination to read fairytales.  I could read before I went to kintegarden, and prefered reading myself and picking for myself.


If it wasn't historically related or couldn't be a good videogame I wasn't interested.

 

Largely still that way, i've just greatly expanded in my mind what could make a good videogame.

This isn't an attack on you, just a realization on my part. I had a Nintendo back in the day too, but I didn't play it as much, but too much according to my parents still. My point is, I used to read a lot of encyclopedias and how things work books, but I also read many many fairy tales of many different stories. Now what my realization is that if I had played more on my Nintendo I would not have had time to read one of the types of books. You sacrificed fairy tales. I can't imagine myself without having read fairy tales.

The realization is that video games do take up time, and can deprive you of valuable experiences. Also keep in mind actual fairy tales aren't the shit they have here in the US. I wouldn't call them depressing, but I guess that's the word if you were weaned off the crap they feed down your throat as a child here.
