Back in my day I really used to play with pinecones. And if it was a better day and a weekend. I went to a neighbor to play rented nintendo 8 bit with punch out. And place where they also rented games they also sold fireworks. Well, not around the year I suppose.
And I'm only 28. =)

Back in my day, pro wrestlers were individuals who sank or swam based on their own ability to entertain a crowd. They weren't cookie-cutter duplicates of each other with 6-pack abs & the ability to nip-up being mandatory, nor did they recite promos written by a team of "professional television writers."

Back in my day, I was a pro wrestling fan.

Today's my day.

Back in my day, a 28.8 Kbit/s modem was good enough to download warez and for two computers to play online games, simultaneously. A little further on, the fast-and-shiny .5 Mbit/s ADSL connection was less stable.

Back in my day most games were decent to good, not shit to decent

In my day video games were the devil and kids would play out in the woods until dark. We caught snakes and turtles that we would put in boxes with piles of dirt and grass. We would strip down and jump into creeks. Then I found Pokemon.

Back in the day . . .

You could open the hood and see the engine

If you broke down, you could usually fix it on the spot or . . . if you couldn't . . .the guy who stopped to help could . . if not . . . he had a forty foot logging chain in the trunk to pull you home and the police didn't even consider pulling you over for it.

When you put the pedal to the floor on a 427 CI engine . . . the price of gas never entered your mind.

It was not unusual to see two four-barrel carburetors on an engine . . . even from the factory.

Everybody had dual exhaust, tuned headers, Cragar mags, Hurst shifters with the rear of the car jacked up for maximum weight shift when drag racing on the local streets.

Nobody drove automatics . . . too sissy and you couldn't roll them off to start.

Everybody either had a tachometer on the dash directly above the steering wheel, on the steering column or installed in the dash.

Traction bars and Red wall / Blue wall tires were all the rage

Back in the day I liked using a joypad with my computer. I still do, imagine that.

Back in my day people weren't such self absorbed tools.

Sure, we were flawed... everyone is. But man, looking at how pretty much every one under the age of 30 (I'm 32) these days doesn't think their shit stinks... whats up with that?

Back in my day joysticks had only two buttons.

In my day trolls only existed on bathroom stalls.

Back in my day gas was 2.75$ a gallon... yeah my day wasn't too long ago :D

Back in my day, they only had one button.

This. I remember always going in to the EB at the mall around 2000-2003 and browsing all the PC games. The entire right and back wall were stocked with PC games, and there were so many they had to put them all sideways to make room. In those years, I couldn't leave EB without buying a PC game. I remember going through every single one of them, always seeing hidden gems or new games I had never heard about.

Then they just started disappearing. Two walls became one. One became a half wall. Then a single section. Now it's on the back of the Gamecube games rack in the back corner of the store.

Also, back in my day, games were longer than 6-8 hours long.

Back in my day, I'd sometimes by gear at Egghead or Futureshop.
