What year between 2000 and 2010 was your year?

The end of 2010 isn't just the end of a year, it is also the beginning of a new decade! ...Well technically anyway. Since the Gregorian Calendar starts A.D. with the year 1 and not the year 0, 2011 is technically the start of a new decade...but commonly we refer to decades as beginning with a year ending in 0. Sooo we're just going to include all of them. So we've taken a few categories and we will be asking questions based on them. In the end we will throw you in a time machine and send you back to a year...hopefully it doesn't suck.





Soooo...how do you feel about leap years?

A little extra time never hurts! I like 'em!
They always throw me off...I hate them.
I was born on February 29...so like...getting to have a birthday every now and then is kinda nice.



So video games...which one sounds most appealing to you?
