Other: Please specify.
I left the ones that have affected me. Online games: I play CN. YouTube: People steal my band's songs off of it and get them copyrighted because our drummer HAS to upload everything. Wikipedia: Saved me on many an essay. 9/11: Happy 75th Birthday Grandpa Jimmy!
Other: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, for reasons obvious to anyone who knows what it is.

Harry Potter
Star Wars
Online Games
The Matrix
The Simpsons
Family Guy

You also forgot to mention the Rock and Hip Hop fads. Those two are polar opposites, yet both have affected me. Rap/Hip Hop brings me great displeasure, yet I often find myself speaking in ebonics. Also, Rock, especially Death Metal helps me sleep. This brings me great comfort and allows me to do better in school because I am not exhausted from not being able to sleep.

Rock =/= Death Metal, and, for the record, rock =/= any metal, period.

Seriously you are my freaking soulmate.
Everything you said is what I was gonna say
PS: Death metal >> ALL (Except Jazz, but then Jazz death metal fusion > All)

Pokémon, Harry Potter, Pogs, Star Wars, Halo (the first one, anyway), online gaming (namely Age of Kings and Age of Mythology), YouTube, WikiPedia.
This is moreso things that I spent time on rather than greatly affected my life. I still have a lot of the memoirs - cylinders full of pogs, buckets full of Pokémon cards, an attic full of Star Wars toys ... a broken XBOX with a big stack of games sitting in the corner.
