Massively Multiplayer: Gaming In The New Millennium

What about a Supergirl TV series more than ten years ahead of schedule? The CW series about the character's one of my not-so-guilty pleasures...

In my mind, DC folded in the DCAU version of Supergirl into the main comics universe around 2004. Meaning that Kara is from Krypton's sister world but with the added history that she and Kal have a common ancestor, Zor-El, who was one of the original colonizers of Argo. While they are not (first) cousins, they are distantly related and thus share a close familial bond.
 
I wouldn't mind if NationStates was butterflied away. I hated how basically every country people created was either extreme left-wing or extreme right-wing.
I stay away from the Gameplay sections myself. I just use NS for region connecting and RPing.

NS is actually where I RP that HS RP I mentioned a while back.
 
that should be a fairly easy butterfly. Rick only one his frist ecletion

Right, Rick Scott won't be governor of Florida ITTL.

What's Glenn Beck up to ITTL?

It's kind of hard to say...his life is REALLY susceptible to butterflies, he could overdose in the mid 90s for example, but I don't think things go THAT badly for him. I think with Gore as president, his career has to go somewhere. Right now....I think he's running a website, kind of like Drudge Report but a bit more extreme, not Alex Jones extreme but he's just bashing Gore quite a bit and has a decent following.

A better question is to ask is "Is Jennifer Government butterflied away?" as NationStates is based on Jennifer Government.

Jennifer Government is butterflied away.
 
Does the Cartoon Network City Bumper Block and Newgrounds still exist in this ITTL?
Ahem......
No Pico, but Newgrounds still exists.

Newgrounds is still around, but not all of those series are.

He's doing Newgrounds stuff, but it's different than any of the stuff he's doing IOTL.

Homestar Runner, Badgers, and Newgrounds all still exist ITTL. Matt Chapman was nowhere near the bombing when it happened, he was up late with a couple friends playing Tale Phantasia and didn't hear about the bombing until he got to work the next day.

There are a couple of other fairly big ongoing flash series at the time: Phonic the Hughog and The Princess Knight. Phonic the Hughog is an over-the-top parody of the Sonic series that actually gets some official sanction from Apple in 2005 or so. The Princess Knight is a parody of shoujo series that starts out really silly but later on turns quite serious.

There's also Awesome Arsonist which is an EXTREMELY offensive Newgrounds series about a guy who goes around burning down things such as orphanages and nursing homes. It's so incredibly offensive that it Crosses the Line Twice and is one of the most popular things on Newgrounds.
Now, could people please stop asking questions that have already been answered? Seriously, no offense to anyone, but the Search Function exists for a reason. Also, yes, I know I was two of those.:p

A few questions:

What will become of Eddie Guerrero (he died in 2005, a year from this TL's present day) and Chris Benoit in this TL? Eddie's death and Chris' murder-suicide dealt a huge blow to the popularity of American professional wrestling here in Italy, even though it still has more than a few fans.

We know Nintendo/Sony has the upper hand over Apple/Sega in the US, but are there countries in the Massively Multiplayer world where Apple/Sega is dominant? How's gaming doing in places that aren't East Asia and North America?

Similarly, we know how the music charts look like in this TL's United States, but how is Europe doing? It's a very fragmented music scene, but there must have been more than a few butterflies that made themselves felt at a continental level. The Latin boom that swept the ATL US was probably even more intense in European countries such as Italy, Portugal and Spain, in which it's relatively easy for Spanish-speaking artists from Latin America to score at least a couple summer hits, even today...

Sega was and still is pretty popular in Europe and some South American countries just Nintendo-Sony was so popular make people buy ultra alongside Saturn and now the user base have segmented more for sega thanks to MS(pretty popular in UK) but unlike otl, is was like nintendo otl who found how new console take traditional markets(PS in japan, Xbox in USA) rather otl sega collapse but things can change.
