Ah, the fish eye lens... the 2000s were a charismatic time.

Just looked this guy up, he has a Gamescore of 8850.

This brings back memories. I was 8/9 and I didn’t understand computers or how to connect to the internet with my Xbox and I just remember thinking how it was such an impossible task to get online because I didn’t actually understand what any of the terms meant and just guessed how to fix things when the configuration didn’t work. Eventually I just gave up on it. It was only until I was a bit older and the Xbox 360 came out that I finally understood how to get online and enjoy sweet online gaming.

Xbox live: you can trashtalk each other Also xbox live: you have been suspended

OMG this takes me way back i have this disc but my xbox is broken so i cant play it. I used to watch it all the time. I remember setting up xbox live for the first time it was soo epic!

"we know you're out there dad" had more weight than i think they intended it to

I occasionally come back to this video from time to time since it's no only an interesting way to see how much Xbox Live & by extension Online Multiplayer has changed over the years but because it's a 2004 time capsule too. If you slow down the spinning, fast-paced footage at 1:34, you can see that the fish eye lens B-roll was shot inside an EBGames. Considering that EBGames, GameStop/Babbages & Barnes & Noble were all under the same company at this time, I suspect this was one of those giant EBGames next to a Barnes & Noble. I know this since one of my friends grew up in a town that had one of these combination Gamestop/Barnes & Nobles when they were young & it looks exactly as he described it from the time he went to it for the Midnight Launch of the Nintendo DSi (which was a few years after 2004 but still new at that time). It's sad that after GameStop & Barnes & Noble split, both companies faced financial hardship & as a result, the store my friend went to doesn't exist anymore. Same goes for EBgames since that's mostly used as the name of GameStop locations in places like Canada & Australia now.

Probably the best invention/service ever created and i think that ever will.

They should've had Dark Master introduce the MN-740 Xbox wireless-g adapter in 2003 when it came out then so that more people could've known about Wi-Fi connection between the console and the router earlier on and invest in one in case you had the console in a room beyond the reach of a router.
