Back in my day, kids knew how to cross the street, write like people without mental problems, and they didn't cuss up a storm for no reason while playing baseball.

(True story, 'bout a month ago.)

Back in my day, if we wanted to watch something on TV, we would have to set-up the VCR to record the right channel at that time so we could watch it on a VHS later... Nowadays we got our DVR's to do it, and at a much higher quality and with the ability to Delete stuff on the fly.

Back in my day, when someone beat a game completely, they were congratulated for it. People didn't go "beat it in 2 days" and stuff like total jerks. It was an accomplishment to do so.

Someone is offended.

BACK IN MY DAY, people weren't such RP noobs that they used some noob RP to RP sex, AS WOLVES.

True story. Just reported. Group was deleted.

Back in my day...
Windows 98. 8D

Back in my day, I didn't need to buy the same console five times. Hell, my SNES still works, and my Wii? Died twice in a year.

And, Nintendo didn't sell all these useless peripherals! Wait...

Back in my day, Ask.com was Ask Jeeves!

[and if you typed in, 'Is Jeeves Gay?' he said, 'It's a personal matter.']

Back in my day, kids indulged in sensible fads, like Pogs and slap bracelets, rather than these Silly Bandz.

Back in my day, our CGI was nothing more than untextured vector graphics and bolean polygons, none of this here new-fangled volumetric lighting and Mental Ray rendering.

lol, my brother had Pog socks.

Back in my day, we didn't have cookie-cutter games that were obvious blatant ripoffs of well known games flooding the market.

They just had their own little corner in the stores.

Oddly enough, records are still the most efficient way to record and play music, and keep it as true to original sound as possible.

I meant '95 and '96, Sapph. I believe that predates both of those. ;)

then again, back in my day we also had Power Rangers. Then again, it wasn't the crapfest that we have these days.
