TV Shows:
1.Monster Garage
2.Junkyard Wars
3.Extreme Engineering (the original season, which dealt with more impractical and imaginative constructions)

All on Discovery/ TLC, tellingly.

Lego Toys:
1.The star destroyer
2.The Death Star II

Star Wars, but mostly because those two are the largest LEGO sets ever.

Other:
1.My Xbox LIVE Gold :(
2.Throwing out all those old PC games from my childhood
 
All of the Spyro games that were saved over by my parents puerile child.
 
My Star Wars toys, all of them worth a mint today :(
 
my entire video game collection before playstation one. it was huge.
 
Control of Willie's life just about 2 weeks ago. I don't know who was it now :(
 
MMPR Deluxe Megazord, the second set I believe, where they went from dinozords to some animalzords (the ones from the movie). It's worth alot now, still wish I had it. ;v
 
My best friend from elementary school. We hung out like every day and had good times up until like the second year of high school, then we just kind of stopped for no specific reason. I played football for my freshman year, which meant that every single day after school was used up at practice during the first half of school, and then I had to work out after school each day for the rest of the year. I think that contributed a lot to it, since I had very little time to do anything else. ****ing football pissed me off so much, it was such a waste of time. I wish I had decided not to play in sophomore year earlier so I wouldn't have felt compelled to workout after the first season was over.

Though I think my friend starting hanging out with a more unscrupulous crowd, so perhaps it was for the best?
 
My ipod. It was hiding in the truck I sold. Now some Mexican who has a body shop probably has it. Other than that, NO REGRETS EVER.
 
Lego Technic
Meccano
My first push bike
The ability to pull bitchin wheelies on my first push bike
Carwash Angels (porn film)
My Cat :C
The innocence of a time when I couldn't buy anything I wanted
 
TV Shows:
Robot Wars
Aquilla (check it out on google vids/youtube, it's incredible)
Reboot

In terms of anything else, my dad bought me this mini 50cc motorbike when I was like 8. Had it for one summer, then it 'disappeared'. He'd sold it. Other than that, not much really. I've led a pretty nice life, and kept a lot of memories.
 
Lamenting losing a TV show is like Barney lamenting losing Moe's bar in the Who Shot Mr. Burns episode.
 
My Genesis w/ 32X, My Atari 2600, my Ninja Turtles action figures, and so much wasted time

Click to expand...

When I first read this I was thinking to myself... Barney? Why the **** would a purple dinosaur care about a bar in a completely different show? I figured you were trying to prove your point with such a ridiculous comparison.

But then I realized how stupid I am.
 
Nothing... and yet everything.

I don't think I've lost anything that I would need now; otherwise I wouldn't have lost it. And yet, I can't but think of the days when the world seemed happier and brighter.
 
For TV shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Only show I mostly enjoyed all the way through. Sometimes I watch again and get to the end of Season 7, and I'm like, "Dang.... I wish there was more."

And I second/third/whatever whoever said wasted time.

Also, opportunities to go to concerts (esp. if they play a rare song, changed up significantly afterwards, or broke up entirely), although I guess that's more like things I missed rather than lost.
 
Obvious solution to wasted time problems: Move to shitty village in [Insert Third World Country Here], that way you'll have to spend all day trying to find enough food and water to sustain it and hence you will have an extremely difficult time wasting time.
 
I can't lament losing TV shows because there are just so many that come and go... but I guess I lament losing TechTV because it was just a great thing in general. It's what really got me into the world of computers and it left far far too soon. I think it would be more appreciated today than it was just before it got bought out by the horrible G4 pricks.

I don't think a lot about material things... certainly not so many from the past. Usually anything I lose I replace with something better... and usually it was lost because it was in a terrible condition. I think the only thing I could say I lament losing is a house. I haven't lived in a house since. I'm hoping one day I can pay off enough stupid ass loans and buy a house of my own. There's something about apartments that you can never overcome. No matter how long you live there or what you put in it, it never really feels like it becomes your home. There's always the knowledge that you'll someday move and so you keep boxes around and there may be things you never unpack. I just kind of miss knowing that there's that place that's mine no matter the situation.

But I guess one day it won't be an issue and I'll only have TechTV... unless it comes back to me...
 
My copy of Vietcong. Lost it when we moved. Will update later if I think of more stuff.
