So, we're coming to the end of the 2000s. It's been a zany decade. The US started two wars, the web reached lvl 22 and evolved into web 2.0, and a short fat man named Garry Newman made some gay-ass mod. We discovered that all Muslims are terrorists, narrowly avoided death at the hands of a government-funded Black Hole Machine and change came to America. Apple showed us that MP3 players are the shit, Valve was silent for the first four years then started releasing awesome games again, and EA became gaming heroes by defeating piracy for good with SecuROM. Also George Bush got rid of terrorism with the PATRIOT Act and NASA fucked up a space shuttle landing. Labour are [i]still[/i] in power in the UK, the EU passed the Treaty of Lisbon taking one more step towards the NWO dictatorship, Michael Jackson died, Billy Mays died, the Queen Mother died, 10,000 people died from swine flu and my dog died :( but then I got a new one The cornerstones of internet culture were laid, although some early sites had already popped up. Garry's Mod was released 10 times, Steam was developed and amassed a catalogue of almost 800 games, Conficker C caused plane crashes and mass armageddon. Basically a lot of shit went down. For a good summary of some of the stuff that happened in the 2000s, check [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000s_%28decade%29]the Wikipedia article[/url]. What were your favourite bits of the noughties?
The forming of Facepunch
Forgetting about the 90s.
When I was told that FF 13 was going to be released on the 360. :dance:
2000's has been shit all over.
The surprising amount of shit the world has thrown into the face of it's inhabitants.
Getting laid for the first time.
Best thing about the 2000s has been Lost. Everything else was terrible. [IMG]http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/6516/booooaaaohhh.jpg[/IMG]
The most horrid years of my life.

When the fuck will it be 3000. I'm sick of the 2000's shit.
And you don't even mention Sept. 11th. :911: I think it was an okay decade. Nothing huge, little trouble in the middle east but that started long before the 2000's anyway. No depressions, no WWIII, no giant asteroids, and technological progress is undeniable.

"Back in my day, flying pigs wreaked havoc over the world"
Anything up until 2008 was shit for me. But still, it's kinda hard to believe that it's almost time for a second decade. Especially when you think about how technology became more advanced over these ten years, you realize that there is another ten years ahead. Shit's gonna be so cash.

Best decade humanity has had yet.
Nice OP! Very nice...
5 years of being beaten by people at school... WOOOOO!
wow, are we almost in 2010? It was 2004 like, a few days ago? what the fuck have I slept too long again?

And America still (this decade and ALL past decades) has the best military in the world. Ah, good ol' 2000's. We need a history of all the games/movies/shit that came out this decade. Edit: Those who rate me disagree are dumb. It's a fact the the U.S military is the best in the world.

The writers strike...which sucked
gotta be 2000-2004. gaming wise that is. experience and good times went down in 06-08. seriously. early 2000s goes to the release of the PS2 and the early ps2 games. i was like 9-12. 007 nightfir turned out as my favourite splitscreen shooter. if you want to avoid softy life resume or any references to outside of your room, don't remove sp tag. [sp]mid-late 2000s. went to bording school. basically transformed me from a basement dweller to the generally cool dude. people tell me that i'm accepting, outgoing and generally awesome most of the time. makes me feel good in a non-arrogant way. i like being open and ok with people. and i realized i resent any kind of personality shield I.E. gangsta, techno, emo. whatever you can think of. it's easier to just be yourself. [/sp] 2000s were awesome for me, and 55% of my life.
Seeing as I've lived the majority of my life so far in the 2000s, I have to say that I'm actually kinda upset that they're over. I feel old.
