My mother was murdered by our neighbor in '02.

I killed my grandmother in '03 by failing to catch one of her dogs from leaping on her lap, rupturing her intestines and forcing her to die from sepsis because her cancer had weakened her to the point where they couldn't do corrective surgery.

And in '04, I drove my grandfather to the emergency room where he had emergency surgery done that put him into a coma we couldn't pull him out of and so we pulled his life support.

After graduating college, I worked at an christian game company called Digital Praise animating for three edutainment products for a year before they laid me off. It was the most fulfilling job I ever had and after that I just...stopped. Been spending the rest of my life being very very tired.

playing a lot of wii.

a lot of waggalin.

Not much because my brain was still developing.

I just have a few blurry memories about my mom's old laptop and playing shockwave flash games like this.

2006 was pretty cool considering I was born in 2006

what was the point of those little tiny cassette things with nsync and brittney spears on it? the thingy mcdonalds gave out with the mighty kids meals, in the shitty ass play place with the sticky missing analog stick n64 controller and barely working gamecube area

Difficult, my father died in 2001, I was living with friends most of the time, either that or outside and just starting to develope my writing and music with REALLY crappy theatre plays that I even sent to a playwright (still have those, and they are not just terrible in story, they are in the worst english you can imagine lmao), I played the keyboard back then, not that poorly though. During those years I still smoked, drank, did weed and hasjies, had a gf who I never even kissed with for about 3 years lol, and though most girls in my area wanted to date me, I only wanted that particular girl..

After that period I got my first house and made a trainwreck/junkjard out of it, never cleaned, only sat behind a pc playing Ultima online and watching porn. :/ Don't know how typical that is for a teen, probably is.

I got fat and depressed so around 2009/2010 started working out more and studying health sciences.

But thats a very long time ago now..

Mostly just playing Pokemon and watching cartoons up until I discovered Newgrounds then my life began to shift focus to amateur/indie content over whatever crap airs on cable.

Jokes were a little edgier/meaner in the early 00s. Even though comedians would genuinely make fun of everyone, not just the easy targets, people would still call out a comedian if it seems like he's saying any dumb shit that he thinks might shock people. I think it was also an issue in the 90s too wherein everyone wanted to make a South Park -esque edgy comedy. I watch stuff from the 00s and find myself groaning at jokes I probably laughed at 15 years ago.

We didn't have high speed internet for years so flash content that was only 1MB or lower would often take an eternity to load. I remember discovering rom sites and I would sometimes get up early in the morning to start the download for a promising-sounding PS1 RPG then by the time I get home from school I have a sick new game to play. Playing roms while some horribly edited movie on Comedy Central is playing in the background is still one of my favorite ways to chill.

Since I was 5 or 6 during 9/11 I can't say I remember how it affected people in my area, for all you Mr. Enter stans out there.

When I was Born? Capital letter B

Those were my peak years man. lol I was in highschool-college those years, living life! Didn't even know how bad it could get yet haha

It Was Pop Music Every Where Averil Ligene Skater Boy

Do Whatcha Say

King Of Leons Use Somebody

Then In Two Thousand And Nine Rock Starting Getting Popular Again

There Were Mostly Horses There Were Very Early Powered Vehicles There Was All Most No Music Ohhh You Mean Twenty Ten Music Yeah All Most The Same

Yeah, virtual classes fucked me big time, but i've been taking physical classes now since 8th grade.

High school is fine I guess, I've made a few friends nothing really notable, though people nowadays dress up like fucking clowns sometimes, I've seen 2 people wear maid dresses there, It's embarrasing.

i was a sperm back in 2006 and my memories afterwards are practically non-existant so there's that.

Spent a lot of my childhood screeching

Video games occupied me quite a lot

Family shit happened so my parents and I had to move from the town I was born in to a completely new town

Been in this town since I was about 6

goo goo gaga -Me

sounds about right

i was a kid so i wouldnt know

I remember some 2009 it's simple I guess

The best era, tbh. Fuckin miss those days man. Everything just seemed way simpler and somewhat easier to manage back then [even when they weren't] and I kinda just want those days back for just abit.

Also early 2000s was the best age of the pure, unfiltered punk-ass internet with lil to no censorship shit that we're probs never gonna have back, so that def fuckin blows but eh, gotta keep on, i guess.

kinda bad. got conscripted. finished fulltime "service" . then it got worse.

Assy, is that you?

For about half of it I was a wee bab, but once 2005 came by and I started remembering shit it was pretty dope.

I remember my brother got an Xbox 360 for Christmas and we played the shit outta it. Then after he got Fallout 3 he didn't let ANYONE touch it (I did anyway and paid the price lol).

Honestly, a lot of the 2000’s tends to blur together, since I moved around a few times and I pretty much drifted from different subcultures and attitudes without much of a care. About the most consistent things that were in my life during that time was pro wrestling, video games and anime, and I generally found bits and pieces of it on Newgrounds.

In addition, I dabbled with game emulation, particularly with 16-bit and handheld consoles, and if I was lucky enough, I was able to play retro games on my computer with wrestling or anime on a background TV. If nothing else, I found that more fulfilling than just about anything in school, with the next closest thing is being on a school sports team, at least if we’re winning that is.

oh I was watching Lucky Star on my shitty CRT and eating Pocky while speaking in 133-

AAAAA SHIT ABANDON PLAN AAAAAAAA

... but seriously, I was on a 56kbps connection. I feel like I missed out on a lot of internets things, but it was still fun.

It was great and then it suddenly stopped being great and became the worst thing ever a little over half way through

you killed your bro?

hmmm i don't think my CRT was even working anymore in the 2000s. i only got a 2nd hand CRT in 2010s. i don't even remember when i first got ADSL broadband. maybe it was 2006 or 2008.

Naw, I paid the price for playing on it lol

#RIP

What's a 2009?
