I remember playing Harvest Moon 64 and tending to my cows. Possibly some Smash Bros later in the evening.

We should have a tasteful Twitch thon of every game mentioned in this thread with some thoughts and reflections sent in from some various Pimp Zoners about how gaming helped them cope with a post-9/11 world.

Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!! Muslim terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center and killed thousands. This is an outrage. Now our country's at war in Afghanistan! I can hardly believe it. Wait, what's that? Over there. What's that?

Haha, okay boys. You run off and play with your little War On Terror. All I'm concerned about now is the War On My loving Wallet!

If Halo had come out just two months earlier, 9/11 could have been prevented because terrorists would have struck an Xbox when trying to attack the Twin Towers

I remember the time my fifth grade teacher was talking to the class about the DC snipers and he got interrupted by the GBA startup noise

I remember still be hyped for the dreamcasts release later that year on 4/20/1999 when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, murdered 12 students and one teacher and also injured 21 additional people. The graphics were sick and the launch line up looked great, I remember bringing game informers and EGM to school to show them how sweet sonic adventure looked.

Lol

At a summer camp where I took a one day mini course on web design I used the time to make a Top 10 Video Games of All Time List!! By Me, Age 10
and I don't remember the list except for #2 was Sonic Adventure and #1 was Sonic Adventure 2.

It would be fun to play 10 minutes of every game on that list and then randomly swap out to a different one on a timer. Except for Everquest because I probably wouldn't even finish reading class descriptions in that time period

I haven't played in 15 years but it was insanely fun in 1999-2001 as a teen and fighting a crocodile in the ocean and getting a magic weapon to fight wisps and ghouls and had tons of secrets. Agh my feels!

I'm actually mildly interested in Everquest Next, lol.

There were rumors circa 2002 that Saddam Hussein was buying 4,000 PS2s to build a missile guidance system.

They were to counterbalance the front of the missile because the missile engine was powered by the Xbox, lol.

Now that I smoke crack all day and quit my job I think people need to post more and post more threads

I was going to post an FE thread, but, I already post 90% of the game specific boring megathreads, so i didn't want to be pigeonholed with that aesthetic, you know?
