When I was your age: -The enemies in first person shooters were ducks- -Final Fantasy only had one sequel- -the scariest thing that could happen to you in a game was being winked at by Mike Tyson- -If you wanted to play online, you had to draw a line on the ground and stand on it- 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSXtreme_ Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 When I was you age... If I wanted to fight a dragon I needed a 20-sided die and my imagination. Playing games on my phone consisted of calling people up and asking if their refridgerator was running. Sony's high-end technology consisted of "the Walkman." Playing a FPS consisted of finding a stick and running around with a pot on my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 When I was your age, TV was worth watching. When I was your age, Sony's mascot was Crash Bandicoot. When I was your age, no one knew what a touchscreen was. When I was your age, using a touchscreen ended with your friend telling you to stop touching his television.
