when i was a lad we had floppy disks, 386 systems and DOS Movies came on video and a 20" tv was massive. A car phone was amazing and resered for the insanly rich. When I got my first mobile I was 14 and I carried it in my backpack, never had any credit and it was mostly to play snake on and feel fancy.
"This never would've happened when I was a boy! You kids today and your Millennium Items and your card games and your loud music and your hula hoops and your hopscotch and your dungarees and your lollipops and your Sony Playstations and your voice-activated light switches and your leather pants and your artificial insemination..."

"...your Blu-Ray Discs and your pierced scrotums and your bull frogs and your telekinesis and your Marvel Comics and your YouTube.com and your nuclear physics and your ingrowing toenails and your Gears of War and your Quentin Tarantino and your power steering and your elevators and your illegitimate offspring and your - hey, why did it fade to black? Am I dead?"

That's what I say, but when I murder a lady and try to eat the meat off her bones, people look at me like I'm crazy.Ephraim J. Witchwood said:
Um mine will be "read more books, because they're cheaper than video games and people think you're smart when you read."
When I was a lad, I ate four dozen eggs
every morning to help me get large.
And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs
so I'm roughly the size of a baaaaarge!

When I was a kid celebrities actually did something in return for their status. There wasn't nearly as much of this "popular because they're popular" nonsense that goes on.
When I was a kid computers had 4kb of RAM and there were barely any programs in existence that could fill that amount.
When I was a kid my greatest video game hero was a bear in yellow shorts carrying around a bird in a blue bag. They were funny and friendly and loveable. Nothing like the souless power armour nonsense that gets passed off as heroes today.

The first system I ever had was the Atari 2600. Back then...
this was a thrilling action shot.
Now, you wanna tell me ya hate the unrealistic graphics on this?
Whippersnappers.
To be serious, I came into the world of video games a bit late, but I started from near the beginning with the 2600, then kind of worked my way up. I've seen the graphics and systems get better, but I honestly miss the days when it took imagination to really color what was going on. To me, that's much more thrilling than being told exactly what something is like. One's imagination will always paint a more vivid picture.

why when I was kid you had to type thing in you couldn't just plug in y'al neural jacks we had to work for our porn.
When I was a kid, we had to look up porn on the internet, not this virtual reality crap!
When I was a kid, television used to be good! Not the adventures of cybersnooki!
When I was a kid, my brains weren't getting eaten by zombies!
I'm fourteen, so this stuff is gonna happen.

We had to pay a quarter for every video game we played, and we had to go to an "arcade" to play them!
