2004

Warpath Jurassic Park and Dino Crisis. My mom let me play M rated games as a kid.

fr nigga you old af no cap skibidi

tfw faggot parents didn't even let me play T-rated games until i was actually 13 and only went to the video store 2-3 times a year

i did manage to rent the incredibles on gamecube once. guess they didn't notice the rating

Viewtiful Joe and F-Zero GX, please.

console was og xbox

no M games

Hahaha... i think i'll pick a movie

i rented viewtiful joe and simpsons hit and run for gamecube

I only had handheld consoles at the time so I'd just pick GBA/DS games that looked good and went with it
Sometimes it ruins your weekend sometimes it doesn't
Getting Warioware Twisted from Family Video for like $2.50 cause they were gonna junk it otherwise was such a good fucking deal bro I wish I could go back and relive that

Huh? This looks fun.
I'll get Taz-mania too, Mega man is never available.

*Rides bike the next day to return overnight rentals*

i hated movie rental places

late fees

4 dollars to rent a new game for a day

you could buy a game for that price in 2025

it's always consumerist retards who look back at movie rental places and arcades with fondness. i am glad they are gone

are we going to have another millenial melty where they realize their nostalgia is shared with literal zoomers?

sarge's heroes

jet force gemini

box of sno caps

thanks dad

2004? Probably Disney Extreme Skate Adventure & Budokai 3

Yeah. Last game I rented was Operation Raccoon City

For me it's because my family was all living under one roof. We'd all sit in the lounge & view some kino on our fat-ass CRT television. Fish n'chips was right nexto video rental store so we'd eat at the dinner table too.

No bullshit mobile phone interrupting a siblings focus every 20 seconds.
All the sofa space was taken so I'd sometimes sit on the carpet. We'd probably go to the water park the next day, sometimes would be having a sleepover with school friend the night we rented.

Rest In Peace daddio

Beyond Good and Evil and Timesplitters 2 please, Mommy

mfw I wasnt even alive in 2004

Zoomers and Gen alpha will never know the true childhood bliss that was renting Goldeneye 64, buying a pizza hut and playing 4 player death match all night.

there were actually parents like this

I think I know why so much of my generation grew up to be soifaced reddit beardbabies now
Shit, I grew up playing Doom 2 when I was 5 and getting scared shitless by Resident Evil games. What's the harm?

mfw still not really alive

tfw discovered homestar runner in 2003

that faggot wasn't even alive when I graduated high school

haha time for another panic attack

having a panic attack in your supposed 30s or 40s

Gen Zbrained

SSX Tricky is the only game I need
I’ll rent a classic WWE PPV suggested by my dad and we’ll get some pizza and snacks and watch it Saturday night

tfw extremely Catholic parents wouldn't get me SSX Tricky because the title looked like SEX

Jedi Knights 2 for gamecube if they have it in, which they hardly ever did, not sure beyond that. the only 3 rental games that ever really stuck with me were Starfox 64, Yoshi Story and Jedi Knights 2

I bought Halo reach there on day one

Ancient ass boomer

>sarge's heroes

my nigga

I dont think a newborn can play games anon

2004

I was like 2 years old wtf am I gonna play other than shitting in diapers

Mine didn't care about me playing M rated games I had free reign

Which console from the 2000s (2004) would have had this furry fox boy?

He hates Nintendo

He hates Pokemon

He hates Nintendo franchises

He doesn't like the GameCube

He's not interested in Nintendo

He has the most anti-Nintendo console of all

At its peak in 2004,Blockbuster employed 84,300 people worldwide and operated 9,094 stores.

100% I rented a Wii game for UP from Blockbuster

Metroid Prime

Hmmmm MAYBE an Xbox or a Playstation

pretending to be an old fag when he cant even grow a beard

Mom doesn’t take me, I go there with friends, eat the candy on the shelves as I walk around and steal a DVD

Mods ban this underageb&-
Wait

mfw

Playstation and XBOX are based

I'll pick whatever the fuck I want. Its my money and you aren't my mother.

Goemons great adventure and Pokemon Stadium 2. Thanks Mom I really miss you

I've always ask this question of why do zoomies get so scared of being 30 or 40?
Did they get falsely psyoped by too much social media?

2004

no M-rated games

I'm 23 at the time

Who's telling me this?

People actually cared about age ratings back then?

i only rented nes/snes and n64 games from my blockbuster before it closed down, not my fault, i live in a shithole

Muh beards

Beards are for browns and basedboys lol

his beard is patchy

oof sorry buddy

2004

I was in my second year of college, I'll do whatever I want.

didn't say I can't get M-rated movies

Skip the games aisle and rent Debbie Does Dallas.

Pikmin 2 and DBZ Budokai

This needs to be in the filename thread... but I don't know what to call it.

My mother bought Starship Troopers from Blockbuster ($20) for bros birthday present, it was kino.
Years later me and a mate rented Starship Troopers 2. it was pure dogshit.

but no M-rated games!

My dad didn't give a shit, im renting the Resident Evil Remake and Star Wars Bounty Hunter

obvious projection

Tendie stealth thread.

I had given up on renting games by then because it cost too much to have enough time to get through a game.

my parents got me a plush toy of the 3 headed dog from the first harry potter movie from blockbuster as a reward for the first time I used a toilet on my own

I was like 16 at this point. So, whatever I wanted.

It was starting to die but not yet. Netflix wasn't really a huge thing at this point. Still a novelty.

yeah by then, it was all about buying 3 dvds for 20 bucks

10 bucks says you still go around here claiming to be some 05 oldfag

People genuinely believe once you hit 30 or 40 your entire body breaks down and you are too old to do any task.
This would only happen if you were like some drug addict that fucked your body up hardcore, or you had some underlying disease.

Even eating like a pig shouldn't cause that. If you're feeling worn out and dying at 40, you need to see a damn doctor.

My parents never had the m rating ban on me. But at that point probably either and I fell Street game or whatever NBA Street game.

Things existed before blockbusters

M rating ban

My mom was letting me play MK 1 in 92 or whatever when I was like 7. She never bought the "AHHH VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES POLLUTE YOUR MIND"

Shout out to warehouse video

14 (15 in October) of that year

I don't even remember renting anything from Blockbuster in that year, around that time we were mostly trading games at Gamestop

Everybody's scared of getting old for one reason or another. Losing certain youthful privileges, families start dying out, becoming out of touch with the next generation, rich guys and cougar moms not wanting to fuck you, becoming a wizard, etc.

I was using Netflix as far back as 2002. It was just a DVD Mail service back then and didn't do streaming until like 2008

I remember renting this as a teenager because the rating said there was female nudity, and I saw a screenshot of a naked woman in the shower. It was just a quick part of the intro, nothing was shown, and there was no other nudity in the game.

The game came out around April 2004 and was like Space Invaders. Despite the negative reviews, I thought the game was fun enough, but definitely underrated compared to the all the reviews at the time.

Bubsy was such a difficult game. Fall damage and one hit kills. Needed more polish.

Star Wars Battlefront and DBZ Budokai 2.

Adventure game character from a PC game, later ported to Xbox.

renting

Sonic OVA

the first 4 episodes of the Donkey Kong Cartoon

and literally nothing else

step foot in blockbuster

within minutes my dad and sister would jump out from behind the aisles holding chucky movies

i would burst into panicked tears and run to my mom

They did this almost everytime we stepped into a video store. I hated going to rent movies.

NFSU2 and finesse my mother to get me GTA SA

The furry fox boy doesn't like the PC at all but the original XBOX seems to be a good option for him

Yo that video store was open from 1894 through 1898.
I didn't realize video rental stores went back that far
Was it only open 4 years because TVs hadn't been invented yet?

Blockbuster was also where I discovered Chucky.

went one day to get a tape, likely the DK cartoon, I'm

got curious and went beyond the kid's section

reach the horror section and see the cover of Child's Play 2, the freaky one with the Jack-in-the-Box

admittedly get chills and a decade-lasting fear of the doll killer

And my family would make fun of me for the longest time for it. IT WAS REAL TO ME, DAMNIT!
Child's Play is a near-perfect horror movie, and Child's Play 2 is a great sequel
pic is related probably

Anon pick some for your chipped PS2 while I go buy some vegetables

get some modded GTA for PS2 with your city name that barely modifies anything and has a trainer in the game for some reason

Damn spicbros, we never knew how good we had it

Yeah I stopped going to my local Blockbuster when it officially closed in 2011.

I was in my second year of High School in 2004 and all that I cared about was watching GITS and playing GTA San Andreas.

born 2002

only got to experience a very small period of time where we would rent wii games

mario galaxy 2 was pretty fun at least

Moral of the story: I missed out, but I still have a good time. It helped that I had a wide section of VHSs at home. Even the Orange Tapes.
(me)
*immediately*

saw the first Spongebob Squarepants movie in theaters

in 2004 I was working at one, not having my mom take me there

this website is for us, not you. Fuck off to yours.

I'm gonna be laughing my ass off when I'm 40 something and all the zoomies mass suicide at 30

I bought my first JRPG from that place; used to go there and copy codes. I remember writing down how to do the Fatalities in MK 1 from there.

I don't even get why they're here with its outdated UI and and ancient layout based on a late 90's Japanese image board. All they do is cry about our stuff (that they weren't alive for), so why are they even here pretending they knew what the internet was like before it became lame and gay?

You live a city named San Andreas?

but no M-rated games!

imagine having faggy parents like this nice pretend zoomie you never experienced this

no parents ever gave a single shit about the ESRB rating
