I remember how people on social media were adamant that Homefront was going to be the game to knock Call of Duty off its perch. Didn't exactly turn out that way lol. Twelve years later and the MW2 remake is still one of the most popular games around.

Take me back to March 15th, 2011!

Let's take a stroll down memory lane!

The date is March 15th, 2011, and it's a Tuesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Pisces. Spring has started to creep in and the days are beginning to get longer.

St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner. In America, the song Born This Way by Lady Gaga is on top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Someone Like You by Adele is the number one hit song.

Barack Obama is currently the President of the United States, and the movie Battle: Los Angeles is at the top of the Box Office. In the United Kingdom, David Cameron is the current Prime Minister. The term "hipster" is currently growing in use. The word is being used to describe people who are pretentious and deliberately anti-mainstream.

Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment. This is due to the increasing popularity of online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. Pre-made comics called "Rage Comics" are extremely popular on the Internet at the moment, as people use them to share relatable experiences. A wave of demonstrations and protests have been taking place across the Middle East, in what has become known as the "Arab Spring".

It's 2011, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Adele, Maroon 5, LMFAO, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Bruno Mars. Charlie Sheen is currently causing controversy. The actor, who was recently fired from the TV show "Two and a Half Men", has been attacking his former employers and making strange comments about how he is a "warlock" who has "tiger blood". The catchphrase "Every Day I'm Shufflin'" is being repeated and parodied following the success of LMAO's song "Party Rock Anthem".

A massive 9.0 earthquake has recently occurred off the coast of Japan. The earthquake triggered a powerful tsunami that traveled 10km inland and destroyed over 400,000 buildings. Thousands of people are dead or currently missing. A song called "Friday" by Rebecca Black is currently going viral for all of the wrong reasons. The response to the song is highly negative, with some people calling it the "worst song ever". A civil war is raging on in Libya. Large battles are taking place between Colonel Gaddafi's government forces and Libyan rebels. Currently, it looks as though Gaddafi's regime is close to victory.

A multiplayer FPS game called Homefront has just been released by Kaos Studios. Anti-government protests are currently taking place in cities across Syria. Tributes have been pouring in for rapper Nate Dogg, who recently passed away due to complications of multiple strokes.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Nate Dogg, Elizabeth Taylor, Randy Savage and Margo Dydek would all be still alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "CSI: Miami", "One Tree Hill", "Mad Men" and "Jersey Shore". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Alan Wake", "StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty", "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" and "Homefront".

Children and teenagers are currently watching television shows such as "Johnny Test", "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse", "Curious George" and "The Suite Life on Deck". Popular toys at the moment include the likes of the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3, the KidiZoom Camera and ZhuZhu Pets.
