I was 18.
I was spending my time playing a playstation one.
I was watching my classmates protest some stupid law that the State passed targeting illegal immigrants.
I kept wondering WTF is this Duke Nukem character everyone was talking about.

- Eminem released "Slim Shady LP" that year. This was the album that catapulted him to world fame. His career as you know it today started then.
Wasn't that in '99? I think you're thinking of the Slim Shady EP.

I was 5...
I watched reruns of Fresh Prince of Bel Air with my big brother.
WCW started the next year, i remember fake-wrestling my brother and hitting each other with big-ass pillows
My brother introduced me to comic books at the age of 5-6, i started out with Spider-man and after about a year i had a decent grasp of the English language. By the time i was in first grade i was pretty fluent.
I remember the christmas when mom gave my big brother the first harry potter book and me a copy of Pokemon Red. I can still recall sitting at my desk reading the instruction manual and seeing a picture of kakuna. I became pretty good at drawing pictures of Kakuna.
Goddamn a lot happened during those years...

I was 3...

The only memory I have of being three years old was crawling around on my ass in a nappy.
Quite a lot happened.

I turned ginger, for example.

-I was living in Macau, still in grade school.

-Decent II was the greatest thing ever, and it made gaming my favorite hobby.

-Girls were still icky, and bugs were still cool.

-Power Rangers was the greatest thing on TV, except for maybe all the classic Nicktoons.

-I played Duke Nukem 3D with my friends, as well as Goldeneye and Starfox 64.

Ya, the world was a different place back then.

I didn't even own any videogames yet
Legos were my life
I was in t-ball with my friends
I was excited to see Star Wars in theaters (too little to realize the remastered editions were blase)
I had just been introduced to Mountain Dew
The power Rangers were still awesome
American Cartoons were still great
and no movie was greater than The TMNT live action movie
Ah, to be six again.

I was 15 and I guess just finishing up school, I was playing games on my P133 system with its 32mb of RAM and 4MB of VRAM with a 14" monitor, games like C&C red alert, Baldurs gate, Fallout and many even older classics like syndicate, Xcom, mechwarrior 2. I didn't have an internet connection but I was part of an AD&D group and played various warhammer games with friends (ok I was a bit of a nerd).

I was five at the time, games like Croc and Spyro were what occupied the Playstation for me.

Beyond that I was trying my damned best to tie those shoes.
