>Spacewar! is a space combat video game developed in 1962 by Steve Russell in collaboration with Martin Graetz and Wayne Wiitanen, and programmed by Russell with assistance from other people, including Bob Saunders and Steve Piner.
>Although the first 911 call was placed in Haleyville, Alabama in 1968, it was not until 1999 that the United States Congress directed the FCC to make 911 the universal emergency number in the United States for all telephone services.
Video games are at least 6 years older than 911. Please do proper research the next time you're feeling a bit clever.

I thought those tubes were a burger thing, i remember seeing them in the shinning.

GTA 3 was relased after 9/11.

imagine not living through the 90s and talking about it at all no one wants your opinion kid

would say the turn off was around 2006 where we start getting "smart phones", and the whole Big Bang Theory Show and other crap that brought in the whole crowd of trend humpers that flood the gaming market which around the same time alot of companies started to retire or simply sell their stuff to some sheckelberg who went with the pattern of copying and pasting a game and try to see how much lootcrates/dlc they can get away with, then over time they figure idiots will buy anything hype so they go full lazy cash grab mode and copy anything that was even slightly popular.

it was better before 2010, when suddenly 85% of games push political beliefs and trannies and normies began getting jobs writing/designing games with zero experience leading to some of the most stale and low-quality garbage we've ever seen since Bubzy 3D.

People are already saying 2011 was a good year for Yea Forums, despite it being cancer.

It has long been an established fact on this board that the last good year on this earth was 2007. Zoomers don't have a frame of reference stretching that far back, so 2011 is their 2007.
It had DE:HR though, which makes it somewhat redeemable.

The Chinese deserve the Wu Flu

Because Skyrim was pure soul and you're just too zoomer to realize it.

You might think I have intended it as a meme, but we in the "imagine the smell" community know that all memes come from a place of truth. And in the case of smell, our memes are meant to enlighten the nostrils and stimulate the whimsy of the common user to be elevated to the plane of smell euphoria, much as the "imagine the smell" posters have already been.

The reason the year keeps going up is because we're getting older, and the age range of your average Yea Forumsirgin is somewhere between 16 and 22 or so.

It all seems like sunshine and rainbows when you're barely old enough to comprehend what the fuck is going on around you. For a while, it shifted from 4th gen being the golden age of gaming to 5th gen, and it's starting to look like 6th is the new "golden age".

>@498030385
Anyone saying that the '90s culturally ended in 2005 didn't actually experience it. You playing your older brother's N64 doesn't mean you actually played games in that generation. Anymore than me playing my aunt's Atari means I lived through the fucking 1st and 2nd generation of vidya. By the time 2005 rolled around, Clinton was out of office for over 5 years, Bush Sr. was out of office for well over a decade, shit like baja shirts are considered ancient, optical media is norm, internet is in its golden age, etc.

There's nothing particularly wrong with that by the way. I don't know why some of you are so desperate to be part of the a decade you weren't even born in, or were barely alive for. I don't call myself an '80s kid because I was born in '87, because I don't pretend to remember what the Reagan administration was like, everyone wearing mullets, etc. Do I like the '80s? Sure, I think '80s horror flicks and vidya are great, but I wasn't part of that generation.

SNES games were the best, don't know why anyone would say "pixelshit fag", unless they were actual fags themselves.
