Just been reading the thread about what was happening in the game industry 10 years ago and kinda got me thinking about what I was doing ten years ago. I was just starting out my training for my career after just leaving school not really knowing if it was the right thing to do.
My home town was still reeling in shock about the bomb that had happened a few months earlier. (The IRA bombed the center of Manc with it`s biggest ever mainland bomb - ripping the heart out of it) We were never sure if it was safe to be out there was a constant fear of another attack.

10 years later I still work with aircraft Ive been to the far side of the earth and back and generally much better off.
So where were you 10 years ago?

I was still a wee chillun' in elementary school. I couldn't have guessed that this country would take a fucking nosedive ten years later, and piss off the rest of the world while doing it.

Hopefully in another ten years I'll still be alive, and with a kickass career going to boot.

10 years (and 10 days) ago, I arrived in Tokyo to live. I didn't have my own room, got a shitty job, and ate cheap, crappy food from the convenient store, but it was the best time of my life. Responsibility found me some 1.5 years later.

Still in school, about to turn 14. Probably around time I first got interested in Japan thanks to a cyberpunk novel my mum bought me (Prize to anyone who can guess what it is). That book has a lot to answer for!

10 years ago i had not long passed my driving test, didnt have any games console (apart from a Gameboy), was mad about cars (still am i guess) and thought i knew everything...

Amazing how some things never change! lol

Ten years ago I was on elementary school trying to trade my Atari Lynx for my friend's brand new Gameboy Color (with no success, of course)

Ten years ago I was another geek in a way-too-posh highschool. A real textbook geek case, including the hairstyle and Star Trek-watching. About that time I sold my boxed NES with some 25 boxed games I'd had for years, and was playing loads of PC games on a 486 me and my brother had slowly assembled with our pocket money
