Me in 2005 with my battlestation

Taken in September of 2005 when I was around 14 years old! One of my favorite pics. I was so proud of that set up I had. It was when I first started playing WoW.

I’m so pissed that pictures from 2005 look ancient. I still remember 2005 like it was yesterday and I’m only in my 30s :(

I was just thinking this, too. Was it really that long ago?

Hah yeah; I was just telling my brother that I don't ever really remember using it much, but I loved just having it! Was no twitch or FaceTime or skype or anything yet so I know back then, I just thought having one was cool and a nice needed addition to any PC set up lol

Actually did have Skype back then, it came along in late 2003! Used it to chat with relatives in Brazil in 2004/5. Having such a service for free felt like living in the future for real.

But the connection was so poor that using our webcam kinda made no sense, heh. I remember only sticking to audio before long.

I used the MIC on the webcam more than the cam.

I still do now when I work from home. I actually don't even know where the webcam is on my desk clutter! All I know is that my colleagues can hear me fine.

I take it your Dad was an avid gamer as well? That's the only way I can think of you having been allowed all three consoles back then in my mind lol.

Ah man living like a king in 2005! I had most of those at that time as well.

So true and cool!

That's awesome! What's your birth year? I was born in 91! I got to see the 90s come to an end and the onset of Y2K and everything, things I tell my nephews now that they have a hard time wrapping their heads around.

Amazing times, simpler times for sure. A bygone time too that we can never get back, but is so fun to look back at through older pics!

Looking back, those were the happiest times of my life when I was a kid onward to a teenager.
