I was born in 1983. Until like... '97, I was the only one that even had the Internet at home.
I had to wait until 1997 to troll my friends. You don't know what that was like.
Games are mostly single player when I'm from. Assuming you mean video games. I mean, you can LAN party, but you don't need a ref, if someone's a dick you just get up and go over to them and punch them.
