Played this so much. The customs maps were the shits.

Not that mouse for me I'll tell you that. Fucking things lacked sensitivity and were fragile as fuck. Fuck they were annoying.

I miss this sound

In computing, or in general?

In computing, I would say the nature of games. You would buy one and play the hell out of it for what it is. Now it's all about lootboxes and season passes... It just irritates me how the market went in this regard.

In general: it was my childhood, of course it was a better time, without the responsibilities.

...

Counter Strike
early Linkin Park
the DVD ferver
in general, its Zeitgeist

Miss when gaming on the internet revolved around sites like Runescape, Miniclip, CrazyMonkeyGames, Newgrounds, etc. - I remember when YouTube had entirely different layouts that allowed us to customize our channel and give it color scheming & outlining, background images on our channels, the original channel streams, Bulletin boards on the channels, 5 star rating systems. When YouTube was popular with fail videos, music trends like the Numa Numa and Eiffel 65 songs, Unregistered Hypercam with 009 Dreamscape, fat people falling and kids getting "owned", nigahiga being #1 subscribed, Club Penguin and Rick Rolling at it's prime, dogs humping inanimate objects, and you could add people as friends on YouTube. Good times on the internet back then yeah?

Blink 182... miss a lot

YOOOOOOOOOO those were the shit!

...

Warcraft 4 now please

Lol, most of Cred Forumsfaggots weren't even born yet

is that a trekker??

i was born lol

...

(You) were "that kid". FYI, people hated signing your shit

Everything.
>WWF Attitude Era wrestling.
>Shit bands.
>The "scene/emo" thing.

This.

it was before social media took off and before internet phones....... we used to just text on our Nokias...... Also there was more music than just rap and pop.... Girls weren't as fat.... Guys weren't as wimpy....... Cars didn't look like micky mouse rides....... they still made 2 strokes....... gas was like 1 dollar a gallon

close enough

"Her"

Chiptune call sounds

Hooooly shit they are god tier

fat moot

The videostore..

The sound of a dialup modem and how much more exciting the inter was to explore. There was a strong mystique.

The pile of rubble at ground zero
The piratebay when it was good
Bulktube
Cs source and battlefield 2 online where i was able to cable pull i was immortal! Loved that shit so hard
Fox news "the factor" with O'Reilly
And ofcourse ama and later dayZ

srs old youtube sucked big time. It's so much better now

¿Ever play island troll tribes?

I miss it Cus only white people could a afford to use the net.

No way that's him

...

with actual vhs videos

damn I feel old, not from teh photo, but for the younger generation they just don't even get the concept of a video store.

my father

This so very very much

a generation with whiny SJW faggots crying about trump in the trending section all the time, and stupid faggots like logan paul constantly being promoted along with acceptance of homosexuality and promotion of videos that cause racial division - all of this is a better youtube? lmao most likely you were born during this time so that explains your ignorance

I was thinking about Lost just the other day and how I used to lay in my bed watching it after a long shitty day

2006 was the best year where I'm from, music was good, Foo Fighters - the pretender was in the #1 charts, there was no shit tier music on the radio.

Video games were at their apex before as one user further up mentioned, the season pass and pay to win cancer game along in droves.

People were a lot more sane and a lot less SJW'd, people just wanted to live to enjoy life not dictate it.

CKY was my teenage years

The overall aesthetic, Age of empires II and the smaller ammount of degeneracy.
Also, flip phones.

even in this very moment Im playing Warcraft 3 - TFT , legion tower defense ;]

EVERY FUCKING YEAR THEY DID THIS
I ALWAYS FILLED THAT MOTHERFUCKER UP
NEVER GOT A SINGLE BOOK

ur 2 old

Fuck... now I want to watch CKY2K.
You just reminded me I downloaded them all.
I was obsessed with the Jackass/CKY crew... seen all their shitty movies they released.

Ah yes, the times when it revolved around skateboarding and getting outside more often rather than being glued to phones and computers. Radio and TV would always play things like Blink 182, Sum 41, Simple Plan, Fenix TX, the plaid shirts and frosted tips, crazy junk foods, Zoobooks & The Crocodile Hunter with Steve Irwin, Fear Factor, Cartoon Network with Ed Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Scooby Doo & Nickelodeon with Rugrats, Catdog and Spongebob, and the teen shows like Ned's Declassified and Drake & Josh, PS2 and Nintendo Gamecube, I remember when Pokemon was creative and had only 151 pokemon, and when Burger King and McDonalds toys were actually cool to have. I remember going to Hollywood Video to rent the Pokemon 2000 movie and other movies like Monsters Inc, . "ELMO" Projectors in school, orange Nickelodeon VHS tapes and plastic VHS tape cases. I remember when I was a kid watching Disney with PB&J Otter, Bear in the Big Blue House, 20 years of age now and to be honest I wish I was back in that time, where people weren't so butthurt about racism in politics and when social justice warriors weren't even a thing; when music wasn't dominated by shitty autotune rap & pop.

i had friends in 2000s

Old youtube had way more kids messing around. You can just ignore the SJW bullshit and only check out the channels you follow. How are you forced to watch SJW / Jake Paul shit???

I can be your daddy

being a cool kid and not having inet yet

This, Mr. Hands, Lemonparty, pain olympics, etc. Shame that no kids today know what those are.

I never got books when they had these, only the cool erasers.

>music wasn't dominated by shitty autotune rap & pop

It's your choice to listen to that when there's select new vaporwave coming out every day.

The internet not being completely overrun with trolls, 12 year olds and SJWS and politishitters.

When the teacher would roll this out you knew it would be fun...

Holy shit I remember going to Blockbuster every Friday night.

You're like ten years older than me max.

i miss 2007

also i miss a time before holliwood became a spam factory

...

last i checked, battle.net was full of bots and devoid of players.

This

Remember when elementary schools would have us use this template?

I was using mIRC 95-04

Yeah it used to just be 12yo trolls.

And only people with more than a brain cell and a half could get on.

Any of you fuckers old enough to remember Usenet?

my niggas
CS Source is still the best CS game imo, still play War Lords PuGs. Surprisingly non-dead, several PuGs run per day on the NA ones at least

Being able to read an article on web page by just scrolling now not having to click NEXT 34 times.

Having no Adverts when surfing.

Collecting DVD's

Not having every fucking TV show or film spoiled before even bein released.

Bang Bus.

Age of Empires II was the shit! Still is!

The music, the best time of internet, and shit was simple

...

might have believed it if it didnt say the dates

Kids these days, amirite?

Your mom

The most delicious drinks back then!

lmao who else remembers when those #iamthewalrus faggots would "dox" people and raid club penguin

oh man, that's snacks_is_back.swf

make flash great again! when swf ruled the web -- that makes me nostalgic

also that beautiful sidebar on Cred Forums and not as many boards. Cred Forums has way too many boards nowadays, stealing users from Cred Forums

got this from pop tarts box

Yeah, the HD re-release was everything I could ever ask for.
I'm just saddened because AoE IV is only for Windows 10

¿Remember the xkcd about this?

I loved the Gumball Rally

>falk asparagus

I think these went up in value

yes but they didnt literaly spam their shit every year like a fucking miniseries, i mean there was that last period when the shit still somehow wasnt 80% remakes and references, and now they just do werses, so there you go they have a whole werse to just spam for a decade

today's warcraft would have no server lists and be plagued with shit in order to justify lootboxes

¿Is that a sex toy?

kek, and the episode with the baby doll in the baby carrier on top of a driving car

Are those canon?

...

...

remember having a couple of thousand bitcoins in 2009, im pretty nostalgic about it

fun drinking this during watching early PBS shows

...

You're my sex toy.

...

...

lmao who didn't have these in the early 2000's?

;) :D ;p

...

I remember when I was black back in the noughties.

I went through pretty much all of the cards as a kid. Went through so many phases

Kodak really fucked up.

Kek!

Still play frozen throne custom games

so-called, "dox"

*poof*

...

Ill never forget the green ketchup.

my dad was drunk and on drugs and made us these completely burnt hamburgers, but my child mind was so affixed on how awesome the green ketchup was that life was just awesome and I wasnt in an abusive household for that amount of time.

...

...

well it's understandable, nobody really saw the technical revolution come as fast as it did. in 1995 it was hard to imagine just how overwhelmingly digital the world would be 10 years later.

some trivia: the creator of kodak had a disease that would cause a slow and painful downward spiral at the end of his life so one day he called a meeting to settle all his affairs. he asked everybody to step out of his office for a moment and when he was alone he shot himself.

This movie.

I'd like to add that it was filmed at the perfect time, right before the SJW cancer had reached critical levels and right after great special effects could be created in movies.

Not a single black person in the whole trilogy. It just couldn't be done in today's cancer society. Unfortunately it still had a little bit of feminism aids added into ("im no man!") it but it's not too bad.

Now that’s a Kodak moment.

90s were better but millennials have over taken b.

fuuuuuuuuuuck

...

i still say "good fight, good night" sometimes

Try early 80’s on that one friendo.

You’re implying Usenet went anywhere.

But I remember it. I remember Gopher, too.

I'm still sad this never got a proper ending

...

early mythbusters

Someone at Kodak labs made a digital camera in the 1970s. They invented it. Kodak management decided a move away from their chemical manufacturing base was too expensive. They got theirs and the company died.

Source: I know people who were there.

Someone got red!

I used to have girls come over to my house after school before my parents got home from work. We would watch CHiPs reruns, eat some doo-dads, and then go upstairs to play with my wooly Willy.

...

Just a ghetto age of empires 2. Castle blood, archer's hellfire, and dbz > any wc3 custom maps.

Salute your shorts is still a good show.

My ability to get off to still pics and lo quality 1 min erotic/porn clips.
Also those nude girls playing cards, and 90's/00's porn in general

Did anyone used to play 3d movie maker, god that shit was funny.

Mc FUCKING SUPER SIZE

Good story. Would read again.

yep, me too...

The monstrosity, anyone with small hands hated that controller. Who am I kidding, everyone hated that thing.

fuck yes and every oxy you got you could snort
and a little before 2000 you could still shoot them
shit was so cash

Who'd think Photobucket would break so much content with their paid service thumbnail bullshit?

Hell yeah the illustrations we're very creepy

Either way, fuck him.

I actually was looking for a movie I couldn't find online earlier and called a local video store, God was it sad to think it may soon be gone.

...

I have large hands, i loved that controller.

Salty nobody would sign your shirt m8?

Yeah, now it’s just the people who ate there since 2000 that are super sized.

Jamie and Grant before Mythbusters

...

Still grab I've I'd these on occasion when I'm high.

They're still amazingly delicious.

This is currently for sale in most retail stores.

music, fashion, skateboarding, everything about this time was pretty damn cool.

i remeber little things like that and just for a moment him hitting me wouldnt matter.

Fucking zoombinis!
Gotta play that again sometime.
I remember it being kinda morbid though, like some little creatures escaping some test facility getting killed all along their escape.
Kinda rough on a 7 year old.

The 90s really was a golden era

>a functional family and a friend circle

link?

Thanks man

Yeah, at worst you got to be in the dark which was for some reason fun, at best you got to see a new movie which was mindblowing.

Carrying a pager because cell plans were shit.

>"im no man!"
That was pretty much how it was in the book though so don't feel bad about that scene

they tortured a woman on early mythbusters? know which episode?

100 bucks say they didnt do it right

This


Specifically, I liked the menus, extra features and occassional Easter egg in Hwood DVD releases.

The computers actually worked and software upgrades came out after they were tested.

man, yea,.

nothing really. I do miss miss the period
between 2007 and 2011. those were my best years so far

Kazaa and limewire

Dont worry VHS will come back thanks to the digital hipsters. Have you read about the disney "black diamond" vhs tapes? Aparently they sell up for high prices on Ebay, and people fell for it, but if you look at the auctions they are listed at very high prices but they have 0 bids. But my guess is that it will happen like happened with vinyls, some articles say that the music tapes are coming back, and if you look at the sony walkman auctions they are expensive af rn, because the nostalgia and guardians of the galaxy, and "muh collectors item"

After the butchery of the story with Star Craft 2, I'll have to pass on a new Warcraft.

Who loves orange soda?

Stile sux

And Napster

well i wouldn't know since i was born in Jan 1998, but i remember everything from 2000 to present. the 2000's are my favorite because it has elements of the late 1990's carried into a world where technology was just starting to boom, and at this time it was in a good way - technology was advanced not too much but not too little; a time where technology was advanced enough to the point people could still enjoy the start of the internet and flip-phones, but not too advanced so it was also a time to get out and play.

i remember watching the little mermaid (the series) on tv before school in the 90s and it made my peepee feel happy somehow

YES

Cars before they started putting in Bluetooth, wifi, backup assist and all the other shit they put in nowadays.

Other version was worse...

YOUR ALL GAY

this thread is supposed to be about the 00s... not early 90s

Yeah I've played it as an adult, if they "die" they just go back to the last camp stop. But some of it was super weird, those hills with faces were a bit creepy.

I remember that, do you remember those chatrooms on AOL which people did roleplays on and shit?

Ragnarok Online daamn
And the first Naruto

...

i used to RP vampire the masquerade on a site with a chat window made for that

the black diamond tapes are like that because e-fag lets to post the price the last of the same type of thing sold for so some faggot bought some tape off himself for 500 and all the fags in the world posted the same price.

hey dumbass, the thing didnt die because she was a woman but because he got cut by the special blade Merry carried that removed his immortality. but the movie didnt even mention his blade (though they did show Merry using it briefly) and then made a big deal about her being a woman and OF COURSE the only woman on the whole god damn battlefield didn't die but instead managed to kill a lesser dragon or whatever that flying thing was and the god damn witch-king of angmar

THANK YOU FOR USING COMPUSERVE.

Oh thanks, it's been a long time, that's less sad.
Yeah those creapy cliff faces and some of the darker colored levels are all I could remember.
Thanks for the picture for the name.

i actually changed my mind and came back to the thread but after seeing what a jerk you are you're getting nothing

Nah that's just the internet portion of my life. I remember back then they had the best children's books, best cereal prizes, people with the frosted hair tips and skateboarding trends and whatnot, Pokemon at it's best, as well as CN and Nickelodeon, watching VHS tapes all the time and waiting forever for them to rewind, pop punk music like Good Charlotte, I had a pretty damn good life

downloading ''free'' movies off of a sketchy website in 2002 on windows xp

Is that green day?

nah the xbox one controller was pretty cool though ill admit the xbone controller isn't bad. xbox360 feels best though, dunno why they made xbone worse.

Absolute crap.

you deserve to be witnessed

...

wouldn't have been so bad if they had just made it clear that it was actually Merry that defeated him.

devilish trips user

ye i remember prometheus and bob
loved it , i wish they would do a rerun on it (so i could record it in better quality than the shit that's on youtube

or from kazaa. I remember i downloaded a 400mb avi over night and when it finished it wasnt the damn movie the title said

Dude this was from the 90's
