Now, when I was a young boy...

When I was a kid, kids still played outside all day every day.

When I was a kid, a great comeback was sticking your tongue out at someone, not "GO FUCK YOURSELF!!" really. =/

and when I was about 9 I did NOT have a cell phone & my fave game on a computer was Ski Free!!

Back in my day computers where too big to fit in your pocket and we had this green stuff called money, we even had to physically control tech no using your newfangled direct neural interfaces.

You kids and your PS7's. Back in my day it took 3 hours to download a DEMO.

"When I was your age, we had to shit in a can and wipe ourselves, now you can just shit yourself and a package of nanobots is released by your pants to consume your mess."

Self-cleaning pants? Man I can't wait for the day...

I was actually wishing the technology existed now as I was writing that.

*running to the patent office*
Hmm... wait, nanobots eat shit and die?! that's amazing!

It's also got tons of comedic potential!

My brother is a bit more than 13 years younger than I am so I've already done some of this to him.

When I was your age, we didn't have these fancy, 3D graphics you take for granted!

Playstation 3!? When I was your age, we didn't have the first playstation!!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LINK TO THE PAST IS!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!! I then slap the little bastard in his head

Now when I was your age we didn't have no fancy thermometers. We had rock! If the rock melted, it was hot!

"When I was your age, my first video game system was a grey brick called "The Gameboy". It was the best thing ever in that time period. The battery life was short and many a game was lost to dying batteries, but those days were magical you little brats! Now leave Grandpa alone! Grandpa needs to annoy that hot nurse over there."

 

[Chefodeath]

Back when I was a lad, I was obligated to control my bladder manually.

Sure glad those days are over.

"Circle-strafing my dear boy, circle-strafing never fails!"

For some strange reason that came to mind after a certain IRC conversation with some clanmates. Fun times indeed <3

Man, I saw the title and thought this was going to be a thread about Blues music..

Shame.

 

[C0RV4L0U5]

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.

When I was a kid America was the most powerful country in the world.
