Of anyone ever wants a snapshot of what 1999/2000 was like for games and music, this is it.

Edit: wanted to add these two:

I've actually been trying to find if there's more to nu-metal than Deftones, and maybe Godflesh might count. The genre actually has some good rhythmic guitars, but 99% the time the vocals come in and completely ruin it. The Mad Capsule Markets was an exception but the pop-punk and surf rock songs stopped the album from being awesome.

Believe it or not, there’s a couple of modern day bands that still have trace elements of Nu-metal. Not all songs but they are peppered around here and there: From Ashes to New and I Prevail.

You could always look at what albums the music folks seem to cite. Here's Loudwire's Top 50 Nu Metal albums:

https://loudwire.com/top-50-nu-metal-albums-of-all-time/

I think they also did a list of forgotten Nu Metal bands, like Ill Nino and Red, a little while back.

I was pretty into Nu-Metal when I was a young teen. I remember Static-X's Wisconsin Death Trip being my favorite album of the genre but I'd also say Korn's first two albums are worth a listen.

But over the course of high school I went from nu-metal to 80s metal before transitioning towards softer, poppier stuff. I almost never feel the urge to revisit metal at all.

I do enjoy some death metal but black metal is easily the best for me. I love having an emotional connection with music and I feel like black metal is one of the best genres for that.

Bathory and Mayhem are great but I'm more into the newer hipster stuff :P

I would recommend one of my favourites though which is Ifernach. A throwback to older black metal, but slightly lighter in tone.

I can’t remember when I got these wallpapers of the GB Micro. It must have been several years ago where the official site was still active to my surprise.

Holy Shmeat, that's awesome! I knew some graphic designers were competing to get their designs plastered, but I never saw the originals. Thanks!
This reminds me of that thread on Vogons that asked for pack-in wallpapers from old PCs.
