Tis is also the last year of the 2000s until we finally entered the decade of the 2010s.

Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while.
It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile.
But it's repulsive, revolting and wrong.
Chewing and chewing. All. Day. Long.


The way that a cow does!

Technically it could also apply to Augustus without the severe consequence he suffers

Ah man, I missed 2009, when Minecraft was made.

But we're not yet at the golden year of Minecraft.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

2011 the year that finally brought Mortal Kombat back to its former glory.

And to boot a the beginning of an new decade.

This was completely outrageous to hear in Banjo & Kazooie's presentation. Animal Crossing's music has been incredibly slow in Smash for a decade and they go after Banjo & Kazooie's music T_T

Wasn't the reason for the change more in regards of style than in speed? Like the style wasn't fitting enough so they had to do arrangements?

The western release of Pokémon Black and White. The start of the fifth generation, and the start of my Pokémon fandom. These games led me to my current favorite game series of all time.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger came out both that'd lead to the MCU's first blockbuster hit that was The Avengers and introducing Thanos building up to him as the big bad for the next 5 years until an finale a year after that.

How many was it? 20? Pfft, work it all off

 

[TheCJBrine]

The terrain transition.

This is also the first year I played Minecraft and when I learned about it. Beta 1.5/one of its bugfix updates was my first version.

You just activated my trap card.

2011 was probably the worst year in my life so far:

• My last living grandparent died unexpectedly. Meaning I lost all 4 of em within a span of 4 years
• Had to put down the family cat of 13 years
• Got in a pretty brutal car accident that shook up my entire family and left with pretty bad anxiety that I still deal with to this day

Also most films and video games and such that year were pretty disappointing and underwhelming too

so yeah, not real fond of 2011 to say the least

2011: many things happened
-Early in my high school career still, when things were still fresh. Had memorable, fun classes with very hit or miss teachers
-Bought Pokemon White. First Pokemon game I've ever finished.
-Olive Garden arrived in town. Greatest restaurant edition ever.
-Began binge-watching Naruto like there was no tomorrow. Very fun times as well.
-Discovered the Bleach manga and enjoyed that a lot as well.
-Even before I became a hockey fan, one of the greatest, dirtiest, most gritty Finals matches happened in NHL history: the Vancouver Canucks vs. the Boston Bruins. Boston won.

Night, everyone. Talk to you all tommorow!

2011 was good. Met most of my childhood friends that year. I only speak to one of them to this day though.

 

[Diem]

2011 was when I discovered Minecraft, in January. Can't remember exactly how, but I got and fell in love with the game pretty early. By the end of the year, they'd added so many new things and features that it was hard for me to keep up, so I lost interest. Every time I go back to it, I'm always mystified at something new that I totally don't understand.

I also discovered Crysis, specifically the second game, but I don't like the other two as much. Crysis 1 had some jank, and 3 was clearly rushed. But 2 was unique, and the series has been sadly lost to time, despite its amazing potential and how influential it was to the FPS genre years after it faded.

The other series lost to time that I mentioned earlier, Resistance, got its third entry that year, and it was good yet disappointing. It didn't live up to the potential built by the first two games, and felt like Insomniac just wanted to be done with the series and move on, much like Crysis 3. The parallels between these two unrelated series is really interesting, and I plan on doing a video about it... eventually.

2011? Oh yeah, the 3DS first came out this year. Great system.

 

[Zinith]

I hardly remember 2011 honestly

That sounds rough, sorry you had to go through that.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

I mean... it wasn't all bad

This was also the year we got a dog for the very first time

Oh and the 3ds was a pretty sweet Christmas gift

 

[Noipoi]

Also the year of Portal 2!

One of my favorite games!

Portal 3 when?

 

[Diem]

When PsySmasher beat Banjo & Kazooie with Bowser Jr., I knew I was in for some ****.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Portal 3 when?

You know how valve is when it comes to making 3rd installments in their franchises

 

[Wademan94]

imo. The original feels a little too.... saccharine, for me anyway. Plus I really identify with Depp’s Wonka.

I feel like the tone of the remake gets a little too passive-aggressive for me. Anyway I don’t think I’m gonna go further considering how I feel about Depp’s Wonka.

 

[Shroob]

Also the year of Portal 2!

One of my favorite games!

Portal 3 when?

I still remember when VALVe cared about video games and they launched a Steam-wide ARG that got 23 indie games involved about Portal 2.


Good times.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

All of the best pop music comes from 2011 too.

I think the number 3 killed Gaben’s parents or something god damn

 

[TheCJBrine]

Next page/year, Minecraft adds to its hidden dark lore.

I'll see you then.

Hmm

I challenge this notion with a banger of remix made up of songs from 2009

Spoiler

 

[Zinith]

Btw I forgot. What was it that created the Yoshi planet in the first Mario Galaxy again?

Ah right. Nintendo has that pitch perfect attention to detail

Aw ****

This was my stuff

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I'm going to bed in 15 minutes. Hope to god won't be at page 2012 at that point because that's the year the beloved franchise that was Ice Age fell to grace and you do not want to see me ranting on that...

 

[Tako Tuesday]

I just got here, so I don't know why we're talking about 2011, but it was a good year for me. I think that's the year when I got into emulation, which introduced me to a lot of great games and series and wouldn't have been able to play otherwise.

For example, Sonic 3 was a game I wanted to play all my life, and with emulation my dream finally came true, and Sonic 3 and knuckles is now one of my favorite games of all time. I also got into Pokémon, another one of my all time favorite series through emulation with Gold and Silver, though that wasn't until 2012.

2011 was overall a great year for me, and I really miss it. Unfortunately, life went downhill the following year, but thankfully things are better now. I rate 2011 a solid 11/11.

 

[BlueMonk]

we're still gonna be on this year stuff when I wake up aren't we

 

[Wademan94]

Since this was the year the Harry Potter films came to a close, I wanted to bring up an idea I’ve had for a while

Imagine if there was a opportunity to retell the stories through an animated Netflix/other streaming service series...

 

[PsySmasher]

When PsySmasher beat Banjo & Kazooie with Bowser Jr., I knew I was in for some ****.

Those years of maining Jr in Smash 4 are paying off (well... to a certain degree).

Since he's pretty much the same in Ultimate, might as well keep him as a secondary, just in case.

 

[Noipoi]

Unless we get to page 2984 and run out of “lol this year doesn’t exist yet” jokes, yes.

 

[Diem]

Also the year of Portal 2!

Portal 3 when?

Surprised I forgot about Portal 2. One of two sequels to an original game that I played and went "Wow, this was pretty much better than the original in almost every conceivable way." Better story, better gameplay, better writing, everything. I don't think we even need a Portal 3.

The other sequel is Borderlands 2, which I've had an itch to replay for the first time in 6-7 years now that the third one's out, though I doubt it will live up to 2. Or, at least, I don't think anything will surpass Handsome Jack's writing.

 

[Deleted member]

I have a very poor memory so I can't remember anything about 2011 but I get the feeling that it was a good year. I don't know/10.

no because come the next page, the world ends and this thread never existed.
