Last month I posted my favorite photos from the 2010-2019 decade, here's its virtual cousin. Here are screenshots from this decade that I like technically, aesthetically, or nostalgically. You may notice the post is at the beginning of the decade, I've chosen this as a convention so I can keep a running post for in-progress decades.

Starcraft II would have better been titled Starcraft I.I/3, in that it wasn't much different from it's much earlier predecessor and only contained one of the three campaigns. Still, the cinematics were pretty cool and a little creepy.

This has all the essential Skyrim in one shot: a sneaky archer, companion, and mountain goat/horse sizing up a dragon with snow-capped peaks in the background. There is most assuredly a small cave entrance behind that tree leading to an extensive cavern system *persuasion 100*.

Getting a PS4 meant I could easily take screencaps of console games and my blog was forever changed. Destiny had amazing graphics and the play mechanics, just not a lot of content.

A monster going full Jurassic Park 2 on Sahn Diago (well just one frame because time lapse), igniting a fire that goes full gender reveal on Sahn Diago.

Far Cry 4 in a nutshell. That game was pretty.

The most iconic character from the most iconic DLC from the greatest shooter-looter of all time.

Why I loved Planetside 2: the map, the tactics, the classes, the air battles, and the purple spandex.

A scene out of any Fallout installment, this one happened to be #4.

The whole division vibe right here - cover shooting with tech powers and neat Tom Clancy-y animations. Gritty post-pandemic street scenes and the PVP Dark Zone.

There's nothing more Warframe than a stock Mag being taxied by a couple of fashionframed allies.

One of the coolest moments in all of gaming.

Pristine views and great character development in The Witcher 3.

Left 4 Dead 2: co-op, zombies, gas cans, and zip-tied suppressors.

Left 4 Dead + Assassin's Creed = Dying Light.

The Dying Light DLC was a good one and culminated with this frightening creature.

Seventy hours before the mast - Rebel Galaxy felt and played like a pirate game set in space.

My first game with photo mode. A moveable camera and depth of field was a great way to capture the sometimes-beautiful, sometimes-desolate world of Horizon.

Sea of Thieves ship battles were an experience unlike anything previous. They would culminate slowly as the aggressor would give chase and then peak with a well-balanced battle of captaining tactics, shooting, and boarding.

Playing PUBG with 85% seriousness has provided more squad gaming fun than anything else that I've played.

Essential Far Cry 5 right here: wingsuiting toward a statue of the cult leader 'Father', remote Montana as the backdrop.

Stay tuned, in ten years I'll post my next installment.
