game on

Your dad for damn sure never caught a Pokemon in his life, and the only angry bird your Grandpa knew of was your grandma.  

That's because they grew up before the days of joysticks and graphics; long before Mario and Luigi were capable of growing facial hair. A time when the World of Warcraft contained far fewer virgins, and Zelda was just the name of the Russian immigrant girl who lived down the block.

Controllers didn't exist hence didn't need batteries. Games didn't have pixels. 

What did they play then, you ask? They were busy playing the game of Life. 

(They tried playing Top Ten Pins once, but it wasn't nearly as entertaining as advertised.)
