Early 2000's gaming kino thread
he doesn't look happyI mean why would he be happy if he's stuck playing garbage uncslop and is eating corn syrup filled goyfood, swap it to fortnite and sushi and now we are talking
>>738930715that's just his gamer face, newfag zoomgoy
>>738930756put down the hot pockets retard
>>738930598crt+wow= peak gaming
is that tony sopranos son
wait is that Preach?
>>738930715>he doesn't look happyYeah where's the thumbnail with exaggerated expression, crystal white teeth flashing and striking background colors?
>>738930815Those speakers too
>>738930802Graduate first
>>738930815>wowI think he's playing everquest.
>>738930715He looks content and like he's about to have good time. Remember, it was a time before social media and algorithms picking up your post depending on how silly and exaggerated your face looks like. It's a real life moment captured in a photo, very rare on the modern internet.
>>738931284nta, he doesn't look "content", though he probably is. What I mean is, he's clearly doing a look for the camera, trying to look "cool" as he points at his incoming good time.The real key is that he looks relaxed as he strikes this pose.
>le product of it's timeWhat is the point of this shit?
>>738930715>and sushipost your pits femanon
>>738930897this looks so fucking disgusting, why would anyone watch these?
>>738930897Good lord, my eyes.
>>738930715> he doesn't look happyHe’s locked in, as you would say zoomie
>>738930897he makes thumbnails like that now you can look up preach if you want.
>>738930598>early 00smy friends were just getting high and beating the shit out of each other in halo combat evolved.
>>738931486>assmad zoomer fuming a picture of his own childhood would just be a broccoli hair staring at his phone
>>738930598fuck yeah, you can basically tell his entirely personality down to what music he listens to from this image alone. he's a cool dude, shame our current zeitgeist sucks ass in comparison
>>738931575iirc it's basically>babies love silly faces>parents give babies ipad to make them shut up>babies tap on the videos that have silly faces in thumbnails>the algorithm learns to favor silly faces in thumbnails because they're popular>people start adding even more silly faces into thumbnails because that's what gets you views
>>738930598What year delineates the early 2000s from the mid 2000s? This is very important.
>>738931806What part of product of it's time is something to gloat about?
Diablo II developers
>>738931196no thats blood elf
>>738930598His ass is hanging out
>>738930598
>>738931957I see a jew boy
>>738932081Are you sure anon, the models look thinner and the ground looks like parts of innothule swamp.Plus the nameplate makes me think of EQ
>>738931957Notice how even the nerdy beta who looks like he would troon out still mogs zoomoids.
>>738932240yeah im sure, thats blood elf characters and terokkar forest
>>738932121>I'm still stuck on majoras mask.Lol.
Where did you buy games in the early 2000s?
>>738932271could have sworn blood elves had a different sitting animation than that, but I don't have any evidence and google search is great at pulling up irrelevant results now, so maybe I'm wrong.I remember that cross legged position is how all the humans hand elves sat in EQ, but I'll concede I could just be seeing what I want to here.
>>738932271probably Ghostlands going off their armor and weapons
>>738931714Tragic to hear but not surprising. You either adapt to the flow of time or get left behind.
>>738931957>Token black friendPeak.
>>738932074Heterosexual men in their 20s putting their masculine youthful energy and passion into making fun games. That's what's missing from today's gamdev environment.
>>738930715Preach said the pizza flowed that night and it was his greatest gaming memories
>>738930598literal ai picture
>>738930598This was me but for Wotlk
>>738932121For me, it was pic related, had an account from 2006, but I did browse the site from 2005, possibly 2004.It was like a second home.>>738932457GameStop/EB Games/Target for the longest, than started to go to Game Crazy since they gave back better trade-in deals.Obligatory:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=441yNVdmVU4....With all that said, I really miss E3.I know it was already turning to shit post 2010, but I just miss the vibe, also something to just looking forward to, now all I have is Evo, even then it's not that good anymore.
>>738932074this is another ai generated picture
>>738932654>>738932896fuck off retard
>>738932943yes and? its just act 2
i hope im not the only one that noticed that. they do this over on /b/ too. some ai agents or something will all circle jerk in a thread where its clearly some hot ai girl with her head turned backwards blank deadpan stare at the camera
ur ai images are so easy to spot btw. at least for me. maybe not for the rest of the human population
>>738932820?
>>738932873Me hacés sentir viejo...
>>738933176this is an ai agent btw
that is a young preach
>>738932943r u schizoing over the scanlines or the kbm placement?
>>738933025modern gaming set ups are so evil.
>>738933259why are you pretending like the crt isnt casting an incorrect shadow on the man behind it? just look at the picture dumbass. its clearly ai generated
>>738933025>financial crisis strikes>sovl gone
>>738933089those were fucking soulful
>>738932074Left hand on mouse and right hand on arrowkeys or numpad.It really was the wild west back then before wasd really took hold.I knew a guy that used aszx. S being forward when he played TF2 because that's how he played quake.
>>738930867yep
>>738933025it all goes to shit once it reaches 2008. the obama dark ages.
>>738933338look at the crt and the man behind it. based on the image, the man behind the crt has his forearm underneath the crt's back plastic protrusion. anyone who has been around crts in the past knows nobody did this because your arm wouldnt fit
>>738930715gamers are notoriously miserable demons
>>738933298Do you know not know how flash photography works anon? Besides, you can literally google the image and find sources for it that dates back to 2009 at least.
>>738933298Why are you pretending the picture wasn't taken with flash?
My 2011 college setup was still mostly early 2000s.
>>738932820It's just the reflection on the cell phone screen
>>738932873for me, it's Gaby
damn an actual schizo
>>738933582genuiely, take your meds
>>738931486You had to be a Y2K Youth to understand it.
>>738933582For fuck sake anon, take your fucking meds or I'll call the glowniggers on you so that they force those pills down your gullet.
>>738933553Comfy, actually has enough arm room.
>>738930598current year is a better time for gaming than 90s and 2000s unc

One way or another we'll go back.
Mentally ill people ruin everything and deserve less rights.
>>738930598Preach?
>>738930598he looks happier now
>>738931486*ItsDumb ESLoid, probably amerimutt.

>getting home from school>install latest game>order pizza and play all weekend
>>738932457What happened to this kind of lighting? Why don’t shops make any effort to create a warm inviting atmosphere anymore? Every shop has an oppressive feel these days

I was raped as a child
>>738930598I still style my hair spiky and wear that kind of clothing.
>>738933025Adjustable electric desks are waste of space. A rigid desk with storage is way more useful.
>>738934048were you hot?
>>738934048Hey me too.
MODS = GODS
>>738934073Yeah lol
>>738934176relatable
>>738934126simple as
I unironically played Gaia Online. Sniping good deals on the market milliseconds before everyone else and making crazy profit was an unmatched drug. There would be legends of fast vendors who just beat you to some insane deal or misprice. And what was based was using the gaia gold to commission tangible things like artwork.
Will life ever be good again? Will it ever feel like this again?
>>738932827/ourking/

>>738934347hell man don’t worry about it. it’s not just about ‘FPS number higher yaay’. if it’s a good stable PC you will have it for years and the better the hardware now the longer it will last before it’s completely useless. you wont need to update it if it can run all you need.
>>738934507wtf that literally looks like all of our moms
>>738931957me sitting on the back of the couch wishing i was at home
>>738932820The list of ingredients is reflecting on the phone screen. Have Twitter and YouTube influencers whipped you into a paranoid frenzy over Generative A.I? If so, I hope you get to have a thought and opinion of your own one day.
>>738934507>You will never plow a babushka milf into her hideous couch while her son is screaming blyat in the background

>>738934282so much soul
>>738935426why do you assume she's making fun of him and not trying to set him up with her friends? unironically had a friend of mine who did this to her brother and he got a wife out of it.
>>738935520You think he's gonna get a wife out of his sister?
>>738935208>Titan UI
>>738930897I actually have this fucker's autograph somewhere. Before he was a YouTuber he was that one magician on America's got talent and he once came to visit the Airforce Base I was living at as a kid. I got him to sign my shirt and I probably have it somewhere
>>738930598>The AnchormanHell yeah, that's a perfect movie to watch with the gang before a late night WoW sesh.
>>738935049Probably the anti AI fag from earlier.

>>738936176Could also be a bachelor pad. Single FT office workers in the 80's and 90's had relatively very low cost of living so they had tons of extra money to spend on shit like game consoles and giant TVs.
>>738935068People say 2007 because it was when the first set of modern social media and mobile Internet access appeared but it took a good few years for the rot to proliferate.
>>738936594he's 28 in that pic btw
>>738936724update it again with all the forced alpha slang
>>7389350682007 was a speed up on enshittifying which killed everything by 2013.

>>738932457EB Games before Gamestop bought them out.
>>738936541>>738936919AI slop.
Some of these next ones are from mid to late 00s.
All these lads having LAN parties, brings back memories of XBOX linkups. I'd go to my bros friends and kick all their asses in slayer matches. Other times haul all of my computer equipment over to a mates every weekend and play Warcraft 3 custom maps online, David Letterman on the main TV talking to beautiful actresses complimenting their legs, ice-cube filled glass of cola, it was surreal. Once others were asleep I'd stay up until like 8am fishing lobsters at Karamja running them to Draynor bankNow it's all online, nobody gets together anymore. I miss those days like you wouldn't believe.
for the brits
>>738935068The PS3/360 era of piss filter shooters was pretty much the writing on the wall. It wasn't "woke" yet but it showed an industry that was beginning to focus only on profits. Also all those military shooters were obvious propaganda for the Iraq war in hindsight.
>>738937067That's pretty professional.
>>738936476
>>738930598Great now I'm hungry for some pizza now

It's strange how the nerds from the past 15 years look so ridiculously dysgenic compared to nerds from the 90s and early 2000s. It's like an entirely different race of people.
>>738934347>>All I've played on it so far has been indie games that could probably run on my 8yr old craptopDon't feel too bad. Everyone who talks about PC parts and pricing does the same thing.
Last PC LAN party i remember going to was a university link up. I was sat next to the loudest fucker in there out of like 30 people who kept obnoxiously yelling at the top of his lungs. Nobody was playing the same game at all it was the lamest get-together ever.Someone let on about a file-sharing program once connected by router and you didn't even need permission to see other peoples computer files, someone had that early hentai game 'RapeLay"The download speed was really nice though i ended up downloading Just Cause which i couldn't get at home because it was like 40gb and would've gone over our internet usage. There was some vs party game on the main screen (PS1 i think?) i can't remember its name for the life of me I could never find it, in one of the minigames two guys afro hair would grow big

>>738937767>.mp4 - .gifThis one checks out.Someone was asking for a ".gif" of this video meme so he could share it via an email or group chat, so I was making it for him. Right after adding subtitles to it for him (since the joke only works with audio), I realized that all he was asking for was the standalone .mp4, not for me to take that .mp4 and make it into a .gif. I sent him both anyway, and sure enough, all he wanted was the standalone .mp4 even though he asked for a .gif, lol. He might been an old fuck too, idk.
That's my last one. I've spent too much time phoneposting instead of doing my job. I need to finish some testing by the end of the day.

>>738935068That's been my experience as well, in gaming at least. 2013s Mass Effect 3 ending controversy was the first time I noticed a huge and hostile divide between devs/games journalists and the audience. Around 2010 was when early woke stuff started showing up. Early gay romance routes in mainstream games, etc. Feels like ever since then, western game devs have been desperate to change target audience
>>738940130Older compatible crt monitors are harder to find.One thing I don't miss is dvi and vga cables.That and hauling around crts is ass (I still do it rarely)

>>738940845>>738941045the other day I got into an argument with some people where, in the comments, some were telling others that they had a terrible childhood because they watched teen titans go, and the others said they didn't care about it just because it was a silly cartoon, but the truth is they're actually embarrassed by the shit they watched as kids
>>7389330252010 is peak for meI'm sorry but I cannot stand the CRT at the top from 2003 to 2008I can't help but think it's a minor earthquake away from falling on the user's headWhoever put that CRT on top like that positioned in that tilted way is a fucking moron tempting fate
>>738941717>normies hugging in front of goyball
>>738941278>1000 players on Tribes. Remember this when people tell you gaming was always le mainstream.Gaming in general was mainstream, pretty much everyone had a console or two, arcades were still a thing, every shop you'd walk into had games to play, handhelds were massive.Online and PC gaming however was still incredibly niche and PC gaming in general was pretty much only enthusiasts and you basically knew your entire server community by name.
>>7389350682011-2013 was the start of the flat/minimalist "design" trend thats been plagueing everything for the past 15 years. its just a cancer design pattern thats sucked the soul out of everything. ios 7 was the deathblow for any sort of interesting skeumorphism in digital design
*ahem*
>>738941807That's trivial. Rather, it was around that time that normalfags completely and irrovacably took over the internet, changing online culture forever.
in the early 2000s everyone wasnt a tranny yet. the number of gaming discords im on that are just full of trannies is insane.
>>738941863all because of smartphones
does anyone else get sad thinking about how hostile and selfish everyone is nowadays that you’ll be alone forever and even if you do find someone like you, they’ll just treat you like shit the same way everyone else does? I’ve seen it happen, and it hits like a fucking truck realizing others are incapable of seeing the flaws and desires you share and choose to ostracize you just to belong to the hivemind. Literally makes me do pic related.No one has any capacity for empathy it justice, they only assume the worst and choose to perpetuate the cycle.If (when) society collapses, it’s going to be utter hell.There will be no legion of chuds to take you in to their natsocialist utopia.You will not defend your women from kikes and niggers with the bros.Everyone you share any kind of kinship with will stab you in the back and sell your ass out just to stave off hunger for one more day

A few girl btards who loved the sims. And kingdom hearts. Earlier then that. There were a few girls who would occasionally join for some neighborhood n64 gamin.Have a 2009ish image.

It's very jarring looking at late 90s-early 2000s videos and seeing people's demeanor and how they express themselves.

https://web.archive.org/web/20030204104002/http://www.wipeoutzone.com/index.phpPrior to the entire forum getting hacked. WipEoutZone used to be a pretty cool site. If you go back for enough you can see them talking about when DailyRadar shut down, and every WipEout release up till basically Omega Collection.I miss games having their own forums a lot. I'm also a little surprised current day leaderboards aren't that different from the names that used to rank high back in the 2000s. I think the only current WipEout dev (artist) left at Sony is Darren Douglas who's had contact with some of the founders of WipEout Zone, he may be working on whatever Team Asobi is doing.

>>738936801no im not
>>738935068This is the case. The newfags who just repeat shit about 2007/2008-2012 are forgetting things didn't go to shit overnight and there was major pushback too as things got worse. I'd say that 2013+ was the first time that an entire generation and demographic of online denizens did not go through the same "trials" in the same online spaces of those that came before. An entirely new crop of zoomers, freemium/F2P/ gacha faggotry, social media and streaming parasocial garbage meant gaming was different.
>>738951485Ok...
>>738930715>uncslopwhen the obvious bait is still too effective to resistMfw
>>738951380Could be several factors.First off, vidya/LAN wasn't something you would do all the time. The PC could've been the shared family PC, or you went to a cybercafé with good PCs in order to play. Something else was done in the meantime, people used to have other avenues for entertainment that wasn't just getting stuck at home: cycling, skating was very popular in the early 00s, going to a pool or just head to a friend's house or arcade to play something. Kids were more active in general since the go-to activity was physical play instead of doomscrolling.But the simplest thing, I'd say that burgerland food back then was actually still somewhat 'food' at least partially - unlike the ultra processed slop they have now
>>738932121back when technology was at its zenith
>>738951380The short answer is that A) some people were plenty fat, but they aren't usually the ones in pictures like this that get passed around in threads lik this. B) some of us were younger, there wasn't as much easily available specific health food (ie there was no place to get fucking a quinoa crust pizza in 90% of the US) ,, and we'd just have a balanced diet. In my parents' house we'd have well rounded meals - protein, carb, vegetable(green) - most of the time but would occasionally get delivery pizza. So yeah, there were a lot of fat people unquestioningly, but this was an era where most of them were not the ones taking pictures of themselves being fat. The social media era hadn't come yet - even attractive people didn't like taking pictures of themselves. I say this as a guy who never really had to worry about weight as a kid (yet was still vain) yet at 40+ and with certain meds, I'd feel better if I'd lose 20lbs or so

>>738948621This site is unironically obsessed with saying "first" and getting cheap replies.
>>738951805There were far fewer fat people in the 00's. You go out now and virtually everyone is overweight. It was common for people to be skinny or at least well built and now everyone looks like a fucking pig.

for me it was irl games
>>738932457Everywhere. You could find little shelves with games on them in almost any shop. Optometrist, shoe store, photo shop, cornerstore you name it. No idea why but as a kid I loved it because my dad would drag me to boring shit and I could browse all the cool games I knew he would never buy. Games had such cool box art in those days.
