Started at 16. I still enjoy videogames a bit. But for the most part I don't like them and I find them a waste of time. Specially their fanbases. Still, some of my friends like them a lot so I'm not an asshole about it and try to make it seem like I'm a interested when they talk about them.

Grew out of anime around 19-20 years old, if I had to guess. I still watch DBZ Abridged, but I watch it because I find it God damn hilarious. If that still counts as watching anime, then I guess I've never grown out of it, even though that series is LITERALLY the only anime-like thing I bother with besides hentai.

Toys? Define toys. I find disassembling/reassembling firearms to be fun, even if it's not to clean them. In a sense, using a firearm in such a manner just as a passtime, it is like using it as a toy. Hell, even target shooting could be considered using firearms as recrational tools, and is a recreational tool not in and of itself basically a toy? Anyways, if toys means stuff like... I don't know... action figures and stuff, then I grew out of them at around 11-12 years old, probably.

As for vidya, I still enjoy gaming. Mostly STALKER: Call of Pripyat with Misery mod and The Armed Zone, which is an intensely difficult post-apocalyptic style survivor-horror FPS. I've been wanting to write a book that is based in a sort of STALKER-like world/Universe, so we'll see, perhaps one day while playing it, I'll have a eureka moment on how to kick things off. I also like to play Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword. Based in the mid-17th century in Eastern Europe, basically. I want to write an historically based novel, and who knows, maybe it'll be set in the 17th century. I also play Banished on occasion, but haven't been bothering with that anymore. Used to play Red Orchestra II and Rising Storm like crazy, looking forward to Rising Storm 2 to see how Tripwire will do with a realistic game set in the Vietnam War.

Not all videogames are for kids. As for books, obviously I read while I was in school, was particularly into Harry Potter, but I didn't really start reading until around 21 years old. Discovered Bernard Cornwell, and have been reading his stuff regularly ever since, as well as various other things that catch my attention. I must have read a good 50 books or so in the past 4.5 years.
