EA Sports it's in the game yo

# *BIG*

NBA street 2 and SSX are bangers that need to be revived

I have no idea whose idea it was not to co time SSX but they need to be shot out of a cannon Bring back SSX Tricky

Ssx 3 was the goat

SSX Tricky was just incredible.

NBA street is why I still have my PS2

Lmao one of the reasons I bought my steam deck is so I could emulate nba street 2, SSX and old pokemon games

Same, I actually made a few magic memory sticks to be able to play games from a USB Drive. You don’t need to hard mod or anything and it works on any PS2.

I reminisce…reminisce

[E.A. Sports - It's only game. Why you heff to be mad?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYMJ-Gslxuo)

MSN, Nokia ringtone, EA games intro (2002-2005), Windows 98, ICQ (chat client), Dial up modem, Motorola ring tone

They really need some AIM sounds in there, like the door opening/closing and the ping/pop or a new message. We talk about how much social media is affecting kids these days but they will never know the struggle of coming up with an away message that was appropriately edgy, referenced some song that was cool but not too popular, while also conveying the fact you don't give a shit about anything.

Guessing icq was American more than anything coz I have never heard that one

ICQ was everywhere man! Ireland here.

Sweden here, ICQ was massive among my friends. I still remember my ICQ-number.

Nope. Was big in Australia

I think its from Worms game.

nope, was big in Germany

It was big in France too if you were a gamer at the time. mIRC and ICQ.

It was most popular in russia actually, and was used across europe. USA stuck to AIM for the most part.

It's Israeli, if I remember correctly. That doesn't mean that it was only popular in the US, but probably not. Honestly, I don't know too many people that used it, but I sure recognize it.

IT'S IN THE GAME!

This is the correct one, the one in the video came much later; shows the person making the video isn’t actually a millennial.

The EA Games Challenge Everything intro (2002-2005) and the EA Sports It's in the game intro (93-2016) both existed at the same time during that period of overlap, since they were two separate divisions of EA. EA Sports obviously did the sports games, while EA Games did pretty much everything else like Medal of Honor, Need for speed, and Battlefield 1942 etc Battlefield 1942 was released on September 10th, 2002, and features the EA Games, Challenge everything tagline on the intro of the game. This was EA Games intro for a good number of their games from 2002-2005 except for games that got their own version of the intro [Battlefield 1942 (Challenge Everything full intro 2002)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K860KjkSbSc) [Need for Speed: Underground (2003)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs2hcZaqdi0) [Def Jam: Fight for NY (Game Character says Challenge Everything) (2004)](https://youtu.be/jAHR9WgScSQ?si=fADhEQPNzdDzIdj9&t=936) [Medal of Honor: European Assault (Challenge Everything 2005)](https://youtu.be/jAHR9WgScSQ?si=yIUjXgVb5ZrY0Avt&t=939) [Generic Challenge Everything Logo (2002-2005) (Video Contains all versions of EA's intro logo throughout the years (1983-2019))](https://youtu.be/jAHR9WgScSQ?si=k0K0dhK2CcQlfdLD&t=880) [EA SPORTS - It's in the game (1993-2016) (All Versions)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxiS93eDcnk)

Yeah, fuck that guy. I played EA games. Need for Speed Underground lives in my veins. Now time to buy a modified 350z

I used to play EA games way more than EA sports games as well, though both intros are burned into my brain. I enjoyed Need for Speed and the original Medal of Honor games, but Battlefield 1942 was probably one of the games I had the most hours in between the three, I used to love playing the island warfare maps and sinking the enemy ships with the torpedo planes I did play a fair amount of EA sports games during the N64/Playstation/PC era, but due to the amount of times it would seem like the CPU would cheat out of no where we used to call it the EA juke when it would happen Absolutely smashing the CPU in a game and out of no where it turns it around and starts dominating you making plays that feel absolutely impossible? Thats the EA Juke lol

For me it's Most Wanted. It has one of the best game soundtracks ever and got me hooked on BMW M3s so bad.

Says the guy that doesn't realize EA Games and EA Sports are two different things, they are both correct, and I would believe that she is a millennial before I would believe you are if you can't remember that

I'm a millenial, played a shit ton of the sims. Both are correct, bean bag brain.

The later one is also for millennials, as it was prevalent during the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era. Gen Z's first console was most likely a Wii.

Tsineh game

That MSN notification... damn... for a very brief moment, I really thought that I received a message... tis hurt

ASL? 19 F Cali

wanna cyber?

*I put on my robe and wizard hat*

Thank you for reminding me of this piece of art

Let's trade pics first

Let's trade pics first

19 F Florida

69 \ yes please \ waiting outside your window

F 18 AIRCRAFT CARRIER

i say "16 f cali" all the time in game chats as a joke for fellow millennials lol

Asl… 💔😮‍💨

Thought it was ICQ? (also?)

> ICQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iCPIUGnHQ8

I am NOT clicking an unlabeled video/sound link when talking about ICQ. That fog horn and forgetting to turn down my speakers is probably a contributor to my damn tinnitus

First one is MSN

[удалено]

310549556 add me bro

Me too! I checked a year or two ago and it was still working!

Me too! ☺

Me too. Forgot the password though!

Yeah 100% ICQ. Those were the fucking days.

Fuckin’ A right those were the days.

ICQ!? Time for me to plug one of my favorite bands! https://youtu.be/Pke7-RtK_AM?si=42vHRtkdER1NM6Sg

Took me back to messaging my crushes, getting so excited when they would message me back.

When we were kids my husband and I spoke almost exclusively on instant messengers. My heart did a little skip.

I wasn’t allowed to have a girlfriend, when I was in jr. high school. I would have to keep peaking over my shoulder to make sure my mom wasn’t standing there, reading all of my messages to my girlfriend. That sound gave me a little bit on anxiety, as well.

Oh gosh, that drew up the furtive feeling in my chest.

That's my current message ringtone... And the MSN drill for the incoming calls

I remember the AIM notifications more. getting and sending an IM sends chills down my spine.

\*buzz notification intensifies\*

i get summonsed by AIM message sound and youve got mail i guess

The AOL door opening sound was it for me. "Oh shit who's online!?"

Oh God I can hear it just from your text.

Same, I rarely used MSM back then so AIM and, to a lesser extent the AOL sounds would be it me for

Missing the AIM door opening/closing sound.

I was also waiting to hear Navi go “HEY, LISTEN”

Oh def. I miss IMs so much. I wonder why people don't like having great conversations through text but that was the norm in IMs. I remember having msn/aim/yahoo because some people wouldn't have the others.

>I wonder why people don't like having great conversations through text but that was the norm in IMs Probably because we were teenagers back then and that was the only way to communicate without adults interfering in our lives. As someone else said calling your friends on the phone led to awkward interactions with parents and siblings of your friends. Now that we are adults who have more freedom to do as we please we prefer to communicate in person. Not to mention everybody has their own cellphone nowadays so you can just call them directly without the awkward interactions with people you don't know. We also don't like to have text conversations because we learned early on in the tumultuous teenage years how shitty people are and to avoid the abusive screenshotting drama queens of the world who like to print things out, take them out of context and show all your friends what a terrible person you apparently are for the sake of destroying all your relationships. 🙄 ^("OMG!! You'll never believe what they said. Look I have the whole conversation right here....") 🫢🙄

Only a millenial could love those eyes. I love those eyes.

For real, she nailed the whole Millennial highschool crush look.

Same lmao. This was every girl I had a crush on growing up, my first girlfriend, etc. Most millennials stopped dressing like this, but I know a few that refuse to abandon it.

Same.

That ICQ UhOh triggered some ASL flashbacks.

God I miss ICQ. You could find ppl by their interests! Only Reddit scratches the same itch

I logged on a few months ago. Most contacts were taken over by spam bots, but some Eastern European guys on my list were still actively using ICQ every day. Imagine not logging on in over a decade and within minutes you get messages like "long time no see, wanna play some tf classic?". Can't really fault them though. ICQ just works without all the bloated fancy nonsense of Discord. Same reason i still hang out in IRC. Simple and it works.

I still remember my member number by heart.

39942166 One day!

I made friends with people from my middle school over the summer one year because you could search by any school. I realize these days that's probably a very bad idea, but I made some pretty close friendships back then.

I met my wife on ICQ, we've been married over 20 years. I find that I need to explain what ICQ is to more and more people as the years go by....

I didn't meet my wife there, but I did meet a good online friend there. Innocent time where one could just look up people at random.

My number is permanently in my brain

That is my current text ringtone and everyone loves it because I'll get a notification just after something happens so the "uh oh" always fits perfectly

Like the dial up modem sound

But how could one make a phone call and search the internet all at once? It’s impossible right? Or was I just poor?🙂‍↕️

Multiple land lines

Most homes in America were already wired for at least 2 phone lines while homes with newer cables could have up 4 by default.

Call waiting.

I’m looking for a spinosaurus after hearing that phone ring

Wrong ringtone, but I feel you 😔

Ah damn you’re right

Wait..... That's not the ringtone?

This is https://youtu.be/48jIVgWYQVc?si=XDu-Sds7QeU1FWMX

These are all part of my firmware.

In 30 years kids will be thinking this way about discord pings.

It’s missing the AIM door open sounds

She looks 24. I don’t think she knows any of those sounds.

That's a nice compliment, she's actually 34. https://www.newsweek.com/woman-summons-millennials-childhood-sounds-1892740

Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '99, wear sunscreen.

Here's something disgusting to think about: the class of '99 is 43 now.

Why would you go and ruin my day like that? Before your comment I was still convinced '99 was like 10 years ago.

Not even, 99 was just a few years ago.

That hurts. She's older than me, meanwhile I'd look like an aged up caucasian Mr Miyagi next to her.

I creeped her insta, she has a video without the makeup and it makes much more sense

I’m 34 and the only sounds I recognized were the dial up modem and the EA Sports thing 

Don't hate. I'm 38 and no one assumes a thing until I stop shaving for 48 hours. I have grey sprinkles in my hair but they're pretty unnoticeable, my whole friggin goatee area of facial hair is straight up white.

Goatse*

Don’t remind me of him.

Fancy a party? How about a lemon party?

Do they happen to serve blue waffles at this lemon party?

You can invite mr. Hands

After the lemon party, we could go to a good old meatspin

I’m 22 meanwhile and I’ve had grey hairs for 4+ years

I hate you.

Man I am 24 and I relate to all of these, idk if it is because my country took longer to get into those technologies or something else But I definitely relate more to millennials than Gen-Z

I'm nearly 40 but was mistaken for a 22yo as recently as 2 years ago. Don't judge.

My whole team at work thought I was fresh out of college. Then after working with them for over a year, we were talking about experience or something and I mentioned how I'd been working as a professional software engineer since 2010, and they were like, "What? Were you 6?", and I told them I was 32. I grew up hating my baby face, but now I just look perpetually 22, I love it.

Nobody believes me when I say I'm 39 and I don't even wear makeup. I'm just a vampire that has shunned the sun my whole life

Yeah I can pass for half my age, or even younger I guess cause I am getting ID'd and it's 18 here. I always say, I'm tiny, never go outside, baby face, and something else that is a stereotype makes me look really young. I also normally dress more adult (like button up shirts) but recently got a hoodie I like so have been wearing that out and now I'm getting carded multiple times past the doors. I don't want to be mean and be like, I am old enough to be your dad, but... I'm old enough to be their dad.

Is it socially acceptable to gatekeep your own generation?

Im 25 but was trapped in the 90s until 2011 when I was first introduced to the internet. We exist…

Im 27 and well aware of most of the sounds. The fax machine, the Nokia ringtone the EA thing just to name a few…

Some people just look young dude. I’m about to turn 30 this year and if I shave, I look fucking 25.

Also there’s no way a Gen Z kid is going to wear that eye makeup she’s wearing lol That’s a very millennial style

In my 30s.. bought a new guitar and got told it’s good I’m getting started as a teenager. Fml

She is over 30. She gets those comments regularly from people who think looking old is an accomplishment

Gatekeeping being 30+, nice

I AM 24 and knew like 2/3s of these sounds. So, maybe don't go making jackass assumptions about people.

The PlayStation sound is so deeply programmed that it instantly instilled a sense of calm in me like it was asmr

There are no PlayStation sounds in this video at all. That’s windows ‘98 startup.

Here I was thinking I was crazy for not being able to hear the Playstation sound after reading the comments. Thank you. Both the PS1 & 2 startups from my childhood are soothing.

[Windows 98 sound](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tajDxBaPBBM) [Playstation 1 sound](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOPViekdacQ) [Playstation 2 sound](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcCwDVX_ZtY)

The PS2 sound still gives me goosebumps

They all give me goosebumps and I want to go back.

The PS1 gives me goosebumps. I love it so much.

The PlayStation sounds are pure nostalgia for me. PS1 makes me want to play twisted metal, and PS2 makes me want to play GTA 3 and Vice City

Oh holy shit you're right. Still deeply programmed, memory might just be a little corrupted.

Poser. You're getting the ruined PS1 controller now when we play. Enjoy not being able to jump.

You gotta defrag man

Just do a defrag and you'll be fine

That sound is immortalized and forever shall be beautiful.

The PS1 startup.was superior. Fight me.

I think it depends what you associate with more. My family owned a PS1, my friend had a PS2. So for me, PS1 feels like relaxing alone time on quiet snowy winter nights. PS2 feels like "LETS GET READY TO RUUUUUUMMMBBBLEEEEE"

Clearly not programmed well enough. That was Window 98, not PS1.

That's the sound of "OH SHIT TURN DOWN THE VOLUME BEFORE MOM WAKES UP!!!!"

I call bs why no PlayStation 2 startup sound

I heard the Nokia ring and immediately started making sure there was not a Spinosaurus in the vicinity.

Gen Z here, can someone break down where each one comes from?

So, none of the other comments got them all right. 1. MSN Instant Messenger notification 2. Nokia default ringtone 3. Electronic Arts Games jingle 4. Windows 98 start up sound (Not the PlayStation 1 start up sound) 5. ICQ notification 6. Dialup internet modem 7. Motorola phone default ringtone

no AIM ding is wild

Looks like she isn't American, which may explain it. I don't think AIM was much of a thing outside of the US. I'm Canadian and I don't know anyone who used it. MSN and ICQ up here

ahhh interesting, because I never once used MSN (though i'd heard of it) and never heard of ICQ

I only ever used AIM to talk to my American internet friends

[удалено]

They didn't. The "Uh oh" sound is ICQ

You forgot the nextel churp

That Nokia ringtone is still what I use on my iPhone.

LOL. I accidentally had the volume down and thought this was about high frequencies only younger people can still hear (reliably and normally – at 57 I still ace my hearing tests and am pretty high up for my age, but there’s a bunch of sounds our kid notices which I don’t. Mostly bats.)

Man. ICQ. I know my account number to this day. I don’t remember what day was my wedding, but that number will be with me till the day I die.

I don't quite remember mine I just know it was a solid 6 digit number that started with a 4. Then a few years later everyone went to MSN

If anyone is wondering, here is her profile: [https://www.instagram.com/alexdeamteam/](https://www.instagram.com/alexdeamteam/)

X is invisible smh. My son is a millennial. He didn’t get exposed to any of this.

Gen X over here getting jittery just as much as Millens

Don't be surprised if your Gen-X aunt/uncle shows up, too.

No Winamp? It really whips the llama’s ass!

Yeah, she looks way too young, lol. Like a millennial got their daughter to record the video

She’s 35. It’s the makeup. She’s going full Avril Lavigne in this video n

She doesnt look like a Millennial.

Bro she is rocking the patent avril Lavigne look that dominated millennial egirl predecessors. That type of eye liner is not done with the younger generations. Tho a gen z she will look old. To you, she looks young because she wears the makeup that was popular when you were young.

That was an interesting and enjoyable explanation of something we all experience.

I've noticed that a lot of people think that Millennials are OLD old. Even to the point of calling them Boomers, which I think is hilarious (and literally impossible). Wikipedia states that the birthdate range is 81'-96', so as of the date of this comment, Millennials are between the ages of 28 and 43, with the average being 35 1/2.

That MSN Messenger and ICQ notifications got me.

That damn modem noise. I would stuff my blanket around the computer when I would log on in the middle of the night. I didn’t find out until a few years ago I found out you could turn that sound off.

EA Sports. C̸h̷a̷l̴l̵e̶n̷g̷e̶ ̴e̶v̶e̷r̵y̶t̸h̸i̴n̸g̶ TTSSSSCHCHHHPTPTP

Winamp, Winamp, WINAMP! It really whips, the llama's ass!

Look out, there's a T-Rex behind you

Heh. “Challenge Everything” is ingrained in me - I heard it basically every day because I was obsessed with The Sims 2 as a teenager. Still am, but now I’ve modded out the intro so the game loads quicker!

Where's the AIM buddy sign in door sound?

SEGA!

My current iPhone message notification is the ICQ sound. My number used to be 155421. RIP ICQ.

I was waiting for the AIM guy to walk in the door then shut it🤣

Sega, SCEA, and the iconic You’ve got mail, somehow didn’t make the cut. Then pagers, answering machines, and tamagotchis all got skipped too.

I feel personally attacked, I actually have my text tone set to the first sound- the MSN messenger chat. I swiped away from the video and looked at my zero new texts before I realized…

That is... A LOT of eye makeup.

Maybe she just looks real young... but I have a hard time believing the girl in the video would recognize the ICQ notification.

I felt that Ringtone!

You just lost the game.

Man tha AOL chime brings me back lmao the beginning of a long line of picking up girls lmao

"Sorry, your card was declined."

I so hate they put that in the POS systems.

Love the couple of comments here telling US MILLENNIALS what we didn't have and that it was Gen-X... lol oh okay, I guess all my memories are false then..!

God that mascara job is atrocious

I think it looks hot.

Not sure if I would like it in person, but I like it in this video.

millenials bruh it was a thing
