Back in my day... We used Walkmans. Then CD's started getting big, and they were awesome and high tech. And would skip in your portable CD player whenever the car hit a bump on the road.

...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 the world was actually black and white.

No joke, I thought the world was literally black & white in the 1800s when I was 5 years old.

Anyway: Back in my day, we used blank VHS tapes to record our favorite shows.

this is literally all I know about Funcoland. I am glad it was before my time and/or probably not in my country.

Back in my day... we didn't do this here new-fangled lattice multiplication.  And back in my day, our teachers could spell properly and use proper grammar.

Seriously, Mt. Holly Springs Elementary.  Stop aggravating my OCD because you can't spell "graham crackers" on the menu.  And my nephew's teacher?  Apostrophes denote a possessive form.  When you are referring to "students" plural, you do not write it as "student's!"  This is seriously simple [parasitic bomb].

Back in my day, the floor was lava.

Whelp, guess I never that happen in my day.

Speaking of which, WAY back in my day, video game consoles only served one purpose.

Mr. Haxwell

Back in my day, clearing a video game was kinda emotional on me.

Fear me.

Quickman

Back in my day, we used the all-powerful blow method.  And if that didn't work, the all-powerful lick method.

I think you're just weird.

Back in my day, I was actually excited to watch TV. Now it's filled with so many shitty programs.

Back in my day, we had to listen to our music from a cassette.

Hey in 2008 some people thought flip phones would be used in 2011.

Back in my day Apple was just a brand of computers.

I only need to use that for image and video transfers from my phone. ^^;

Back in my days, pixel animated cut scenes (example CD-based games) were more appealing to look at.
