TV Tropes Addiction

Recommended Posts

Am I the only person on this site that is addicted to TV Tropes?

 

It's such a neat and fun website with all sorts of bizarre info and the way media is analysed.

I go on and off of it. I think that trivia and analysis can be interesting for a while, but eventually one tires of it. Cracked has a similar effect on me.

I have a folder in my bookmark sidebar that's full of tropes. Some of them are interesting, while others are quite disturbing...

Thanks for the warning; I'll keep that in mind.

I get bursts where I keep reading tropes for several hours and then I don't visit the site for many months.

They were a bit better when a lot of the tropes had real life examples. The real life nightmare fuel page was quite the horror indeed while it lasted.

 

Nowadays I only go there after watching a show, to check the overall impression and aspects of it.

Everytime I get linked there without realising it, im reading stuff for hours upon hours, and clicking open more tabs.

Last time i got carried away by this site, i had roughly 30 open tabs where every single one had at least 5 other interesting links in it. So yeah, i feel you. Sometimes it happens with Wikipedia too.

I always look up the works page after finishing a game or a movie. Next thing I know it's midnight.

I miss the times when nightmare fuel was divided into high octane nightmare fuel for the actually disturbing and horrifying entries, and plain nightmare fuel for less horrible stuff, that sometimes was nightmare fuel for sheltered people rather than actual horrifying stuff.

You're better off reading Wikipedia instead.

It often isn't as thorough.

Or as entertaining.
