SDF

The mere mention of "Medieval II: Total War" brings me right back to the Christmas period of 2006. I was in college and working at a local GameStop store at the time. I was obsessed with the game and nearly missed the final bus back to my hometown because I was playing it so much. My laptop couldn't really run the battles that well, so I kind of just played it as a turn-based strategy game.

Take me back to November 10, 2006

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Friday, November 10, 2006. Anyone born today will have the star sign Scorpio. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "My Love" by Justin Timberlake is at the top of the singles charts, while "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit" by Fedde Le Grand is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Borat is at the top of the box office.

Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. People are using a software program called LimeWire to share music, software, and videos. Unfortunately, it is also a haven for computer viruses. Smartphones don't exist yet. There are no Androids or iPhones.

Cameras on phones have now become the norm. Furthermore, the quality of these cameras is continuing to increase with each new phone release. We are now entering an age where any event can be instantly photographed or recorded. Practically every teenager and adult has a MySpace or Bebo account. It's 2006, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Daniel Powter, Sean Paul, Nelly Furtado, James Blunt, Gnarls Barkley, Shakira and Natasha Bedingfield.

A rock music genre called "Emo" is extremely popular at the moment. The genre, which stands for "emotional hardcore", has created a subculture of "Emos" who dye their hair black and wear thick-framed glasses. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as James Brown, Gerald Ford, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Anna Nicole Smith would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Futurama", "Cold Case", "Dog the Bounty Hunter", and "The Hills".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas", "Tekken 5", "Psychonauts", and "Dead Rising". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Caillou", "ChalkZone", "All Grown Up! (Rugrats)", and "Teen Titans". Popular toys at the moment include Betty Spaghetty (doll), VideoNow (portable player), Dora's Talking House, and Magic Glow Doodle Bear.
