I won't focus on the videogames-over-dating thing, because most of us have shamefully admitted to doing that already. Something this thread reminded me of is that I used to be obsessed with maps. More specifically: fake maps, that I drew.

I realized that I could draw these dumb maps, of continents, fake worlds, and treasure maps and then go through a process of crumpling and un-crumpling the maps. After a good hundred or so cycles, the map would look aged, feel soft, and be realistic! Of course, it wouldn't have been so bad if I did this in the privacy of my own home, but no, I had the great idea of making and crumpling these maps during 4th grade class. I got yelled at more than a few times for making too much noise and not listening, but that didn't stop me, and I always looked for the chance to tell people about my treasure maps, which I had convinced myself were real. Needless to say, I was a turbonerd, and everybody knew it.


Then I did something I'm not ashamed of at all. I made up a board game that was basically a rip-off of Tiddlywinks, where I drew maps and you had to land the little plastic coins on different areas to win a certain amount of points. I called the game Columbutt, after Columbus, but with a butt. Butts are universally, infinitely funny.
