I didn't like violent video games as a kid. But my hyper conservative parents did not like the idea of Pokemon (well I guess my dad didn't so much care, but my mom sure did). Dragon Warrior Monsters was a different story, since there is literally a family of monsters called "devils". So that one was a bit harder to get away with. Somehow I still managed to play 250 odd hours into that cart as a kid.

I also wasn't allowed to play for long amounts of time, but with a gameboy my parents couldn't always keep tabs on me. So I played alot that way.

I would intentionally break every rule and would steal stuff
but now I have a brain and don't do stupid shit like that anymore

The most I did when I was 10 was play GTA 3 with my friends. Although when I was like 13, I was I seriously obsessed with girls and didn't know why I was so obsessed.

u touch'd galz bobz
All the gal's boobs.
I'm pretty embarrassed to admit that.
I played gta and did not even avoid the clubs and stuff in the games i also played violent games.
Depends on what age you consider to be a "kid".
Anyway I did use to leave the dialup on when I was like 10 in order to download stuff even though I was told to only use it for a short while. Stuff took way too long to download so I'd never be able to download anything otherwise. Used to download a lot of game demos, mods/addons/maps and the occasional ROM.
Also, I loved to raid the fridge whenever mom was out for a bit and eat spoonfuls of chocolate spread or whatever else seemed good and seemed like she wouldn't notice.
And when I was a bit younger I had a habit of eating gravel and sand. Not actually swallowing them but chewing on them.

No, the flashlight method was too complicated. I just used my bedside lamp. I did eventually get a worm light, but those things SUCKED.

Besides I was only a few months from discovering a front lit aftermarket screen for the GBA and only a year or two from getting a DS solving my lighting problems for good.

I actually had that written down and I've long lost that notebook.
I had that phase too but for me it was more discovering that all the girls around me suddenly had boobs and wondering what that was all about. Not going to go into detail about that, though :P
I more wondered why I wasn't as pretty as them and really wanted to be that pretty

I stole candy from the store a few times as a kid. Or at least tried to.
I probably did a lot of things I wasn't supposed to as a kid that I don't remember.

I sold CDs with visualboyadvance, a setup guide, and roms in elementary school - except for one, which was traded for PS1 bootlegs

(at that age you can't be charged with anything, civil or penal, so was I technically "not supposed to"? :P )

By the time I was 13, I had already lost my virginity, smoked cigs and pot, drank beer, thrown rocks at cars, lit many big fires, stole mail, snuck out at night, broke into houses, stole cars, almost killed someone with my dads gun, got kicked out of school and got arrested numerous times. There are many more things that I did that I am too embarrassed to admit too.

Did anyone on this forum really expect anything less of me.
