Back in my day...
Temken
You younguns have things so easy now! Why I remember back in my day, we didn't have no fancy schmancy rune trader! I had to loot my runes, unlock them, and then hope that my expert salvage kit would salvage the rune. And that's another thing. Why, back in my day, expert salvage kits didn't work right 100% of the time. No, instead, they worked maybe 50% of the time, if I was lucky! Back in my day, I had to infuse my armor one piece at a time! I didn't beat the flamin' Mursaat with a full suit of infused. Not me, I only had my tunic and leggings infused, and I LIKED IT! And another thing! Back in my day, we couldn't capture elite skills after the fight was over. No, I had to hope that while I was fighting the mob, it would use the ability I wanted. Then I had to hit the capture ability at just that second, or I would miss it and have to do the fight all over again! And I liked it!

Back in /my/ day, black dyes were a dime a dozen. Actually, that's not entirely accurate. They were 320gp a pop.
And we had these newfangled things called "skill charms" and "skill rings". However, they were a passing fad...

Hold up ... I heard that some younguns were giving some of us old timers a hard time ... getting people confused by mentioning young Sean Astin movies ...
Back in MY day ... we didn't even have this 'internet' thing to go out and get infused with ... we had to roll a die ... AND THAT'S NOT A RED OR PURPLE OR BLACK DYE YOU YOUNG INGRATES!!! We rolled a twenty sided die ... and then we wrote down our result ... AND MAILED IT TO OUR FRIENDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ... one round of combat took SIX WEEKS to play! And we liked it!
Damned kids today with thier Goonies are good enough ... with the Cyndi Lauper hopping all about with Cap'n Lou ...

Back in my day we only had three days to finish the game, and if we didn't, we had to wait a whole month before we got to try again. But I don't think we liked it.

Back in my day we never had to unlock skill at all. How times have changed!

So when we were writing our letter to our friends, we had to say ... 'I think ... I just got a 7 ... I think I failed my poofalot ... damnit' ...
AND WE LIKED IT!!!

back in my day, we played games with only zero's and one's. And sometimes we didn't even have the one's. I defeated a red dragon using nothing but zero's. Actually, come to think of it, we didn't even have zero's, we had to use the letter O!!!

ROFL, What about Indiana Jones, starwars, they are older than the Goonies.
Flash Gordon, now that is a classic cheesy movie.
I pity you, for you have missed out on a great many movies which had poor SFX, but rocked anyway

I love that movie. I make my daughter watch it every couple of months...even though she's too young at 3 to understand it

Even though im still in my teens, I still feel old having avidly played Diablo 1 
Apparently, anything Diablo related is a pathetic excuse of a game to many younger than me. (even though it was game of the year 96')

HA! Postal Service...
Back in my day, we had homing pigeons no fancy Postal Service, and if the pigeons died on the way we had to hunt down its dead carcass to retrieve the letter - not like you paper-wasting children of today.

In general I don't like ORPGs...Guild Wars is the only one i've had any interest in.

Heh, speaking of dice, THIS is the coolest shirt ever for us dice rollers

"When my crew hits a subterranean crypt, we don't take twenty, even if we have ample time to complete the task and are not harried by opponents. We roll twenty. And we roll it every time. "
The TRUE HARDCORE!
And no Algren, I'm not calling you old. I just said the movie was old. I'm sure you saw it on DVD ten years later

Just because I didn't see the Goonies (I played the freaking C64 game though...), doesn't mean I'm not old!

In my day, I remember when I blew up one of the First Atari VCS to be released in the UK, because it couldn't handle me clocking Asteroids over and over.
What fun that was. LOL

Back in my day they had these Gems that were not rare crafting items.
These gems contained Skills by golly.
Why you could even test if you liked them before you took them permanently.
There was this game all us kids used to play at the arcade called Pong. Now there was a game that took skill.

Heh, all you young kids and your teenage years. Pshaw! Back in MY day, we didn't even HAVE teenage years! We went straight from 12 to 42, no stops in between! And you know somethin else? Back in my day, we didn't have Pong, or even Ping, or even Ping Pong! We wanted to play with a little plastic ball, we had to whack it back and forth with our hands! And that little plastic ball wasn't made of plastic, it was made of brick, which back then we called a cow, and we had to get amputations once a week to be able to play again! Psh...you kids and your...ooh, shhh, Andy Griffith is on!
On another note, any bets on when this thread will be moved to the off-topic/absurd forum? From start to finish, it definitely fits both definitions.
