I will never get tired of...
Laugh if you must (it's good for the health anyways) but I will NEVER get tired of hearing male dwarves and female gnomes laugh in World Of Warcraft. It just makes me laugh. :)
GG, that's a good one! I haven't played in years, so I still have their laugh from pre-MOP in my head. Have they updated it or kept it the same?

Also, Disney movies, especially The Little Mermaid, Fantasia, Beauty..."Love classic Disney! I just saw Labyrinth a while ago and loved it! Hope to check out the comic books.

I never get tired of the show Charmed. I just love the way the characters are in the show; they are so funny. And I love anything with strong females!I also never get tired of the love story in Titanic, or the creative imagination of J.K. Rowling in the Harry Potter books.
British weather. It just keeps giving... How can you be bored by freezing fog? All day

(Seriously, it took me forever to figure out that wasn't what I was looking at! ;P)

LOL. The idea of me with a blonde beehive is something else I may never tire of. Thank you Christina
Nat wrote: "I'm with you on Motoko. She's my hero on so many levels. Are you excited for the live action movie?"Sadly, not. I've looked at their cast selections and it's quite plain the film makers have no clue about what Ghost in the Shell really is. It looks like it's going to be a total train wreck. I would have loved a good live action movie but very unfortunately, this isn't it.
Cold pizza for breakfast. Frozen chocolate-chip cookie dough. Usually not together.
Coffee. The night sky.
Those often go together.
Firefly is definitely on the list! The Last Airbender, series not the movie. For movies, I'd say Lord of the Rings and Howl's Moving Castle, or almost anything by Hayao Miyazaki. The carousel song in World of Warcraft, it plays in my garrison, hehe.Haven't played FF Tactics in a few years, might have to pull that out!

I was so sad they didn't include it in the movie. :(
K.A. wrote: "The Last Airbender, series not the movie."Yesssssssss! So much yes!
Jane wrote: "British weather. It just keeps giving... How can you be bored by freezing fog? All day"Yikes - sounds miserable. We're having ridiculous winds right now - lost 2 chairs off the porch.

Oh, I also never get tired of fried potato or real mayo. Put them together and it's an obsession. =D
K.A. wrote: "I really hope they make a second to that movie. I enjoyed it so much..."I did too! IT was so funny to see the towns we go to in game on the large screen!
French fries and Mayo? That's so good! (Not for the health but for the palate! :P )
I will never get tired of coffee on cold evenings (or mornings), Star Wars (episodes 4,5,&6), and most of all, watching my 2 YO dance around the living room holding one of her musical toys up to her ear while saying AWWWW!
Missy wrote: "I second the night sky, Owen!"Oh, how I love to look out at the night sky and see the moon and stars, or even just the different shades of dark blue. I just realized I do this every night. : )
I remember back when I used to live in Quebec, about twenty miles south of Montreal. Warm night? Think again! My favorite thing was to go and shovel the snow around midnight and then lay down in that same snow to watch the sky, the stars, and the moon. Warm or cold, as long as you are dressed appropriately, nothing beats watching the sky.P
G.G. You got it right, being out around midnight in the snow when it's quiet and still, bundled up of course, is so beautiful and peaceful.
Can't agree more. I got my first telescope for Christmas when I was 10 years old or so, and I laid in the cold Iowa snow for hours that night. *sigh*
The wonders of the universe. I have a lot I could say about it, but I will respect the "no religion" regulation...
Mod
Ditto.
I will never tire of hearing my child's laugh. He finds so many things hilarious and just hearing him makes me smile.

"Hmm, I remember the opening scene with the robotic geisha and the movie looked right on. GOTS was a pretty actiony anime. I'll have to watch it again before the movie.
Sorry it's not what you were wanting! Just go watch some SAC again. :)

Oh, I love those things! And how they were like Bato's adopted children. SAC was one of my favorite anime out there.
V.M. why is that off topic, we could never be tired of talking about anime! ;) [and I've heard that similar complain about all the new Star Trek movies.]Yes, I love watching falling snow, hate driving in it though!

(Mod hat on)
On topic: I will never get tired of discussing anime.
Off topic: Discussing anime on a thread about things we never get tired of.
(Mod hat off)
Bad jokes. I will never get tired of groan worthy classic dad jokes.
Thanks Cristina! I never get tired of my co-workers smiling at me in the morning and wishing me a Good Morning. That always makes things a little brighter.

Uh huh. Same here. First season was brilliant. The second season started strong, but fell apart. The plot of James and the married woman was dull. Nadine in high school and Ben thinking he's fighting in the Civil War were just a little too far-fetched.
Me too, GG! Such smart and funny, and sometimes deeply tragic, writing! And the cast is amazing, especially Tom Ellis. I hope the show lasts forever!As for Twin Peaks season two... Yeah, it fell apart, but where would we be without "How's Annie?" I mean... Just classic. Lol
I should start rewatching too! I'm beyond excited about the new season!
Samantha wrote: "Missy wrote: "Also, Disney movies, especially The Little Mermaid, Fa..."Yes! Disney movies forever! (The good ones anyway lol)
Lyra wrote: "Me too, GG! Such smart and funny, and sometimes deeply tragic, writing! And the cast is amazing, especially Tom Ellis. I hope the show lasts forever!..."I love Ellis. Great acting. I mean, sometimes I'm imagining the bloopers his lines must bring. The funny things he says in all seriousness that probably make the cast laugh out loud in spite of themselves. Priceless!
I've been stuck nonstop playing Fire Emblem Fates lately. Not for the plot, I don't like the plot. I just have people I need to marry
I will never get tired of being a gamer. I may take breaks from games, and my game playing has decreased in recent years, but I still love a good game.Whether it's playing competitively in Overwatch or playing a narrative based game (I'm drooling over Mass Effect Andromeda and the newly announced Last of Us Part II right now), I will always love the immersion that I get.

To follow that up, I'll never get tired of Blizzard continuously supporting their games, even well after they're not making money on it any more. The Diablo series is a huge component to that. I mean, they were still patching Diablo 2 as of this year, and they're making Diablo 1 playable within Diablo 3. If that's not customer focused, I don't know what is.
Me? I'm too old for games. Honestly the only thing in the world I will never really tire of is the man I married many, many years ago. I have known what it is to be married to the love of my life. That thought is warmer than a blanket in winter. Softer than a cashmere throw. Cooler than a G&T over ice. And more bracing than a walk into a force nine gale.

In essence, the photos of the cast in the new GITS movie make them all look like a bunch of greasy, inner city punks who look nothing like the characters in the anime. Who casts a Nordic blonde as Motoko Kusanagi? Honestly! (Don't worry, that's about as negative as I'm likely to become.)
To Alex: The Anita Blake books do take a pretty dramatic turn toward a more romance type storyline, but they straighten out a bit eventually. Eventually there's still a heavily erotic/romance component, but Anita's back to kicking some tailfeathers, taking names, and becoming more grown up in her decisions. She doesn't change the way she lives or works, but she sets some better boundaries and that's nice to see.
As far as stuff I never tire of, another thing I never tire of is Seinen anime that practically requires a graduate degree to understand.
Agree on the gaming! I do computer games, board games, and in person RPGs. Gaming is a lovely creative outlet for me.

I understand, Thomas. I've been playing Civilization 3 for years. I didn't care for the reboot of Civ 4 and I never got around to trying Civ 5, but Civ 3 had everything I enjoyed in a game, and I still play it today.
I'm a Civ 5 addict. I play that game and six hours evaporates before I realize I'm hungry or something. I never get tired of playing it.

Well... I've clocked more hours in Skyrim and Terraria than I care to think about, so I'll probably go with those.Books-wise, there's a fantasy pseudo-historical (in setting only) series called The Winter of the World by Michael Scott Rohan that I've read since I was a teenager and continue to read because adventures of that nature aren't commonplace in the fantasy scene today.
I've also literally read the covers off two volumes of Sherlock Holmes.

We've only recently started the US version and watch it most every night that I'm home. We love it. I mean, every character and every episode is a slow motion train wreck, but we keep coming back for more!
Late one night I turned on the first episode of the UK version and my wife got up, came out and sat with me, squinting at the computer and asked what I was watching. I said, "Oh, some British show." Then someone said the name "Lip" and she was like, "I didn't know the British had their own version!" So, I explained that the Brits had it first.
I've always been a fan of William H. Macy and I like Joan Cusack, so I have to say I am partial the US version.
I will never get tired of learning. Doesn't matter the subject as long as it directly relates to me in some way.
Lately I've been watching Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of Motoko Kusanagi. Or Tachikomas. Or the so..."
I'm with you on Motoko. She's my hero on so many levels. Are you excited for the live action movie?
