Ahhh 2005 the year one of my favorite game series ever debuted.

God of War. Look how far its gotten now. Once on Greek Mythology now on Norse and eventually probably other mythologies to boot like Egyptian, Mayan, Japanese, Slavic and such.

And what got me into PlayStation and Sony to begin with. Also introduced me to the cult classic that was War of the Monsters.

2005 was also when Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong came out. Ironically my least favorite of the King Kong films. Decent but very flawed such as overuse of excess, being too long (Didn't need to be 3 hours), making Kong too sympathetic and scenes pacing poorly otherwise I love the detail on Skull Island especially the dinosaurs and other creatures that inhabits it.

Nah, I'm good.

On a side note, 2004 was the year Burger King introduced their Angus Steakhouse Burger as apart of a specialty line.
That's pretty dope.
The Incredibles also hit theaters and became one of Pixar's most beloved films, and the Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup.

Today the SEGA Genesis mini comes out today.

Hopefully GameStop will keep my preorder safe when I get home from my vacation this Sunday.

And for another, 2005 was the year Burger King introduced the Chicken Fries before they were discontinued for a few years.

2005 was the year I played Smash for the first time ever. At a friend's house during his birthday party. My gaming landscape would change forever.

Well, the Windows version came out in 1998.
One of my favourite gaming memories was getting a Boxset called Sonic Action Pack, which had Sonic R, Sonic CD, and the Sonic & Knuckles Collection for PC (I also seem to remember a collection of Genesis games including Sonic Spinball, Columns, and Altered Beast, but I can't find any evidence of it being part of the pack).

This was the year I decided I was sick of everyone’s ****, packed up my things and moved out.

Of course I only got to the front door until I got scared and went back to my room, but still.

Cool, that's how I played Sonic CD and R for the first time.

You're thinking of the SEGA Smash Pack.

I think I'll always remember this year as the start of YouTube.
Valentine's Day 2005, what a time to be alive.

Remember back then, the videos had a border around them that looked like a TV?

Edit: at least I think I remember that, now that I'm reflecting it easily could have been StupidVideos.

2005 was the year Spongebob started declining in quality. The movie had came out the previous year and was supposed to serve as the series finale, but by then the show became too popular. It was renewed for Season 4, and the show continued to get worse in each season that followed.
