    Very nostalgic. I recall like half of those- mainly because I wasn't a PC gamer. MW2 back in the day was addictive since it was the first time I got to play online in 2010. Those start screens were epic on consoles too. GTA4 was the one I played the most back then, and there was always that time where I would try to see how long I could hold off the cops. Good times, good times.

      I once spent an entire summer in the arcade. Well, when I wasn't at my summer job. Basically those two months consisted of only 3 phases for me. Work, sleep or arcade hall. One of the best summers of my teenage years. My friends went on vacations or tried to score dates and then there was me renting out gocarts, beach chairs and selling towels and living in the arcade hall when I didn't have to be at work. Playing games like Time CrisisI and II, Soul Calibur II, Mortal Kombat III, Crisis Zone and even some more classic games like Wonder Boy and Puzzle Bobble.
      Arcades are long gone now (at least where I live), but those memories will stay with me all my life. Real nostalgia trip, that is.

    What was good with games in 2000 was that it connected people, you wouldn't play just for the game but for the people you would play with. No matter how complicated or high def a game is today it's just an empty shell with all these toxic players. I remember back in 2014-2015 when GuildWars2 released i played it with some people who i befriended in game and we ended up playing the game just so we can talk to each other, didnt matter what we did in game as long as we would have fun.

    I’m not sure if this was a thing In other countries, but in Brazil we had a place called Lan Houses, where dozens of PCs were connected on lan and you could play any game (that was installed on those pc). We played Counter Strike, Battlefield 1942, Unreal Tournament, etc, against random people that were in that same place as you (because it was on lan).
    The smell of cheetos and hair grease plus 2L of coke while you play the corujão (overnight) in the lan houses were priceless. You had to pay per hour though…..
    Computer were always expensive in Brazil so we could not afford to buy one for gaming, so we used to go on these Lan Houses. Playing online with early days DSLs or even with dial up internet was terrible, so playing on Lan was a HUGE thing in Brazil in the early 2000s

    Can definitely relate to the significance of MW2. I actually do have a group of life-long friends from a neighboring state that I met through MW2. We all talk daily still and have even met up a few times

    Never mind flash games, we had Quake 3 and Runescape installed on hidden folders in my school. When I was in my web design classes the teacher would just knowingly let us play Quake when he had no work for us.
    Also worth mentioning that Homestar Runner is still making videos, usually like 2-5 a year. There's probably going to be one soon because they always do a Halloween episode.

      We had a small secluded room in the library where we played Brutal Doom. Most teachers usually turned a blind eye as long as we were quiet and didn't get the juniors involved. It took one kid to blab his mouth and spread it. Next thing we know, one of the stricter librarians found a crowd of Year 8s yelling and massacring each other out in the open, and policies on computer use during breaks was tightened.
      Naturally, we flipped the school the bird by playing Cards Against Humanity out in the open and the Year 9's learned some interesting new phrases.

    Got goosebumps when you mentioned the Halo start screen music.
    I remember a guy in one of my high school classes that had a crappy flip phone picture of Guitar Hero proving he had completed Through the Fire and Flames on Expert (though it was only 3 stars).

    btw those flash games aren't gone forever, there's a project called Flashpoint which has like every single flash game ever made basically in 1 software and you can either choose to download the entire catalogue which is like 250GB or download as you go from the massive list of games.

    8:45 The Wii was hard to find during the holidays.
    In 2009, someone died after a radio contest on KDND "Hold your Wee for a Wii" after a contestant died after holding her pee for several hours.
    The contestants were also required to drink water periodically. The woman drank 2 gallons of water and died of intoxication after getting home.
    Not something to die over...

    for me the best was playing morrowind/oblivion. the exploration and sense of discovery was so immersive and captivating. when you would go exploring deep into a cave or climb to the top of a mountain it really felt like you were the first person to do it and the freedom with decision making made it feel like every choice you made mattered. definitely the best era of gaming.

I remember racing my friend on Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition on the PSP in the bathroom I’m 8th grade, while someone was outside keeping a lookout 😭😭 so many memories. No matter how many times you tell yourself not to take times in your life for granted, you’re really never understand it until they’re gone. Another amazing video; thank you guys.

    I've been gaming since the 80s and 90s. I'm 50 years old and still gaming. Started in the arcades with pinball then on to an Atari 2600, then a NES, then the PCs finally caught up with the Pentium and Pentium 2 processors, playing games in DOS, and I've been on PC ever since. All of this video was like a wave of memories. I miss LAN parties for Doom, Wolfenstein, Warcraft, and Starcraft. Starcraft especially. I didn't like Guitar Hero, the controller sucked, but I've played the crap out of Rack Band. I still do sometimes. The opening to Halo was one of the most beautiful video I had seen at that time. Modern games tend to lack that little bit extra that games back then had
