The "when I was your age" thread

When I was your age...

We fixed games by blowing into the cartridge as hard as we could!

I had a cynical alternative to this...

When I was your age, games didn't really blow, but you really had to blow on them.

This! Exactly this!

When I was your age, we learned how to do things by ourselves and for ourselves instead of having umpteen million computerized devices do all our thinking and learning for us.

Nowadays most kids probably don't even know their parent's cell phone number because it's on speed dial. To be fair, when I was their age I didn't know my parent's cell phone either.

(Cause it didn't exist...wah wah wahhhhh...)

When I was your age I asked to borrow my folks car, not just take it.

When I was your age I gave 25% of my weekly wage into the house as my contribution, not expecting to be fed for free!

When I was your age I had respect for other peoples stuff

When I was your age I appreciated there were consequences to every action I took.

This whole thread reminds me of Ice Cube's "Doing Dumb Shit" particularly the first verse

So In the same vein, when I was your age...

...I used to hang with the seventh graders

Little bad motherfucker playing Space Invaders

Fucking with the girls in the fourth grade

Either feeling on they butts or pulling on they braids

Walking with the schoolhouse bully

By doing that, I had a lot of pull, G

Cheating on tests, making a mess

Cussing like a sailor at recess

It must a been a half moon

Cause you'll catch me running out the little girls' bathroom

Chewing on Good and Plenties

Got my gamble on at lunch pitching pennies

Yo I was living like the class clown

Pulling all the hokes, making all the jokes man

When you young it's hard to see

That it's wrong throwing rocks at the RTD

Popping out your window with a BB gun

Better yet knocking on your door and run

Playing hide-and-go-get-it for a little stank

Even though I was still shooting blanks

As soon as the dark hit

I was stealing candy out the corner market

Until I got my ass whipped

Cause I was ten years old, doing dumb shit

- When I was your age, the Playstation controller didn't have analog sticks and was grey.

- When I was your age, I'd ask my mom to buy me more tokens so I could bounce around in the Jurassic Park arcade game at Chuck E' Cheese.

- When I was your age, Toonami existed. (Even though it was pretty much just DBZ all the damn time <_< )

- When I was your age, Grand Theft Auto's camera was top-down.

- When I was your age, I would beg my dad for quarters so I could play Metal Slug 3 at Pizza Hut.

When I was your age, arcades didn't sell beer

 

When I was your age, cellphones were as big as your hand and were as rare a holographic Mew pokemon card

 

When I was your age, Yu-gi-oh was as cool as the other side of the pillow.

 

When I was your age, Game boys had no color and there was no such thing as a "3DS"
