Fond memories of guitar hero and Wii Sports uniting the entire dorm floor. Girls walking by and would stop to play a round or 2 and pregame. Truly peak opportunity to meet people and go out together to some random house party.

There is no setting up. Just boot the headset and select game. Then the player just puts it into their face and picks a song. After playing it for a while you give it to the next player. We chase high scores.

This has to be Europe or Australia. I never met anybody growing up in the 90s/00s who listened to Oasis. They got virtually no commercial radio play in the States. And by the time the nu metal fad hit in the late 90s, they were non-existent on MTV. Mainstream rock music in the 90s and early 00s was completely dominated by grunge, pop-punk and nu-metal. Blur and The Verve were probably the only Britpop bands that I remember getting any play here.

they didn't, nintendo did. Nintendo tried to ride the hype of the wii by releasing a new system titled like an accessory, with absurd pricing and technical requirements, a gimmick that didn't really work how they advertised it (particularly because they desigend it for jap paper houses, any house with walls thicker than printer paper blocked signal from the fuckass tablet).
Just a mess. Nintendo fucked it forever. Switch is a feeble attempt at recapturing the magic of the wii. It's a fine enough system 10 years on, but it's launch was also just a pale imitation of the wii hype.

i think the reason we romanticize this era is because gaming felt simpler back then. hell, human interaction felt simpler. while online gaming was obviously a thing, the idea of gathering in a room and doing locals hadnt died out yet. playing shit like wii sports and smash at parties or gatherings was still the best way to game because it was more intimate. more personal.

talking to people was easy. go to a party, a bar, or talk on xbox live. MSN if you used that. you could make friends just by having similar taste in games. gamers, contrary to the stereotype, were social creatures and really just wanted more people to play Halo or Guitar Hero with.

the mid-late 2000s was something that cant be replicated. we will never go back to that because our culture and attitudes at the time were so specific.

It was the same generation. The Wii was antiquated and proceeded to die off specifically because it focused so heavily on local multiplayer when both the PS3 and 360 had fleshed out multiplayer services, and all of their most popular games were online multiplayer titles.
>talking to people was easy. go to a party, a bar
This still happens.

You sound like a rancid faggot.

Focus on online is paradoxically killing video games. New games coming out used to be a pretense to get together and play them, now everything has its own demographic bubble and games have communities unto themselves rather than said communities springing up reflective of where people actually live. Even how you're expected to engage with the media in itself is a part of the marketing machine. Getting together in a group just to play a single-player game, maybe cycling turns or even mostly spectating, is probably weird now, but doing the exact same thing over the internet with people you don't even know is normal.

Welcome to adulthood. Where mandated schooling is no longer enforced and you actually need to put effort into staying social. You may be able to keep some skills up at work but HR police and eye glance rape will probably keep you from making real connections.


Arcades were dead then as they were now. The social gatherings you mention still occur at colleges or at a comic shop. Hell its even easier in some regards as the internet makes it possible to coordinate nerds like you to meet.

Parties, bars, concerts and more are still happening. Maybe you just didn't realize you aren't as extroverted or putting in effort to begin with?
