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.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

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...

Shinigami No Tekken

Back in my day, you needed to go into a file directory to install a game!

Police Girl

Back in the day, We had shitty games based off of Movies...

Oh wait, we still do, but now they're made for shitty movies and not just the good ones.

Mirby

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

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

AW MAN. I SHOULD HAVE TRIED THAT.

Back in my day, Google wasn't run by the government. >_>

Quickman

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.

Mirby

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.

Back in my day, we had dusty ol records, not some MP3pod things.

Home sweet home

Mirby

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

My thread of Random Crap

Who loves Grape Soda? Sapph loves Grape Soda! Is it true? Is it true? Ohyesohyesohyes it's true-oo~ I do I do I do I do-oo~

Mirby

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