If you were able to communicate with you from ten years ago via one of their dreams, to tell them what it's like in the distant year 2010, do you think your past self would even believe it?
- Bush's term is followed by having our first black President.
- Marvel is now owned by Disney.
- TMNT is now owned by Nickelodeon.
- Rareware is now owned by Microsoft.
- Sega doesn't make game systems anymore, instead just producing games for other systems.
- Sonic and Mario have appeared in several games together.
- Microsoft now makes game systems, successfully inheriting Sega's role as the "edgy" system.
- Remember Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter? Try Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe.
- Wizard Magazine got rid of their price guide, but no one takes them seriously anymore regardless.
- Marvel fired Bob Harras and replaced him with Joe Quesada. Over the next ten years, Joe Quesada slowly became Bob Harras.
- Chris Claremont finally returned to the X-Men, and it actually wasn't very good.
- Frank Miller made amends with DC and did a sequel to Dark Knight Returns, and it actually wasn't very good either.
- No one cares about The Matrix anymore, after the sequels were nearly as bad as The Phantom Menace.
- Star Trek is the new Star Wars.
- And a remake of that cheesy Star Wars knockoff Battlestar Galatica was even better.
- We have DVD rental vending machines now. The popularity of this and DVD rentals by mail have caused rental chains to shut down many of their locations.
- Halle Berry was given an Academy Award for doing a sex scene with Billy Bob Thornton.
- The members of Pink Floyd were able to put aside their differences for one night, to perform four songs together on live television.
- The members of Cream were able to put aside their differences to perform one last tour, and it actually kinda sucked.
- The members of The Police were able to put aside their differences to perform one last tour, and it was thankfully pretty decent.
- The reunited Black Sabbath never finished that studio album, and eventually reunited with Dio instead.
- Roger Waters never finished that studio album, preferring instead to do "greatest hits" tours every other year.
- And during the most recent tour, he was discovered lip-synching to a backing track.
- But even more impossibly, Pearl Jam stopped writing music you like.
- Al Franken is one of your state's Senators. Though after Jesse Venture I suppose it seems like anything's possible.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger stopped doing movies to become Governor of California. No word yet on the Three Seashells.
- The World Trade Center was destroyed by suicide bombers with hijacked passenger planes. Bush declared war on Iraq, despite Saddam having nothing to do with it. He was then quoted as saying going after the guy who really did it is "not that important," and was still re-elected for a second term.
- Britney Spears still hasn't gone away.
