Dark Master is such an early 2000s username, and I love it. It's funny how cringe eventually turns into nostalgia.

5:38 common logic that should’ve stayed the same

ayo what do u mean get ready cream

The Falcons and the Eagles been beefing since dark master and crusher

Back when Xbox told you to shit talk people how times have changed, I got banned for a week cause I called someone mentally subnormal

This is how I got my gamertag lol

Any update on darkmaster ?

i wonder if he still online and alive and well he might have a family

I miss when it was racial slurs and saying someone was gay because half of us didn’t take it seriously. Now it’s just saying somebody’s address out loud and watching them disconnect. Instead of yelling Xbox turn off because you could hear their gameplay because of the Kinect and then it boots them.

3:58 Dark Master knowns where my dad is!?

welcome back

Back then trash talking was encouraged. Now you get banned for even swearing.

Damn, the 2000s nostalgia hits so deep here. Lol

15 years later Back then trash talk was just part of growing up, we had tools to just silence and understand to walk away. But now, we are spied on and if we step even remotely out of line, even if the spies just feel like we did with gamers can be arrested and have thier lively hood ruined, just beacuse entitled egotistical morons don't feel simply muting and walking away is enough.

I was Wondering Will dark master be returned?

Probably the best invention/service ever created and i think that ever will.

This dude totally stole my xlink kai handle

MONDO HARDDRIVE!

I remember watching the hell out of this when I got my Xbox when it came out. I was like 12 or 13 getting mad I wasn’t old enough to work so I could get online and play. Wish they’d bring back being able to play online on the og Xbox 😢 I still got one and would love to experience what it was like back then.

Gonna miss the Xbox Live branding.

I occasionally come back to this video from time to time since it's no only an interesting way to see how much Xbox Live & by extension Online Multiplayer has changed over the years but because it's a 2004 time capsule too. If you slow down the spinning, fast-paced footage at 1:34, you can see that the fish eye lens B-roll was shot inside an EBGames. Considering that EBGames, GameStop/Babbages & Barnes & Noble were all under the same company at this time, I suspect this was one of those giant EBGames next to a Barnes & Noble. I know this since one of my friends grew up in a town that had one of these combination Gamestop/Barnes & Nobles when they were young & it looks exactly as he described it from the time he went to it for the Midnight Launch of the Nintendo DSi (which was a few years after 2004 but still new at that time). It's sad that after GameStop & Barnes & Noble split, both companies faced financial hardship & as a result, the store my friend went to doesn't exist anymore. Same goes for EBgames since that's mostly used as the name of GameStop locations in places like Canada & Australia now.

Dark Master is old enough to be my dad.

😢😮😊 saudades geração boa de mais

The most 2002 video ever

5:23 the key difference to Gen Z and Gen Y is the fact that Gen Y could actually handle smack talk.. Gen Z cries...

Honestly Microsoft revolutionized online gaming. Even on PC online gaming was kinda bad before Xbox Live. Xbox Live is why you find voice chat built into almost every single game now... well that and broadband internet.

This is so crap, but it is good and I love it

5:30 they actually encouraged trash talking. Now you get banned for it......Times have changed.

The voice mod things would be cool if they were a thing now tbh just with upgraded things you can do

"Dark Master" gamertag is still active, I wonder if this is the same guy.

9:03 - So weird hearing the word "skin" being used during that era.

1:46 Getting connected is my most favorite part of the whole process! For a very long time since I was young in the 2000s, computer networking/networking has always been fascinating to me!

They should've had Dark Master introduce the MN-740 Xbox wireless-g adapter in 2003 when it came out then so that more people could've known about Wi-Fi connection between the console and the router earlier on and invest in one in case you had the console in a room beyond the reach of a router.

He should promote Insignia when it launches here soon. Currently we're beta testing

Remember when people used vc and trash talked

where is dark master now?

Anyone does know if DarkMaster is still alive?

Things like this is history now and kinda makes you want to back in those days

I miss original Xbox live.

In Bangladesh Your game destroy me 💔💔😭 😭😭😭😭

Cha! No way that guy plays Xbox live. He’s in shape, great looking. SO UNREALISTIC ಥ_├┬┴┬┴

No sweat!

The 2000s nostalgia you won't find in a compilation

The god of gaming

god of gaming

The reason why seeing this was so awesome was because this was a new thing that no one has seen before on consoles. I know the PlayStation 2 and GameCube had online games, but the way Microsoft did their online service was something at the time.

Damn I don’t think my 10gbps fiber optic network provider can handle Xbox Live, they didn’t have the compatible logo

If i had a time machine, i'd travel back to 2000 and live through the 2000's all over again

This was the beginning of the downfall. To pay extra just to play online. Mind boggling.

This brings back memories. I was 8/9 and I didn’t understand computers or how to connect to the internet with my Xbox and I just remember thinking how it was such an impossible task to get online because I didn’t actually understand what any of the terms meant and just guessed how to fix things when the configuration didn’t work. Eventually I just gave up on it. It was only until I was a bit older and the Xbox 360 came out that I finally understood how to get online and enjoy sweet online gaming.
