History of Awesome is an epic 38-part trip down memory lane - each episode we're covering a new year's most important, influential, or just-plain-awesome movies, games, TV shows, comics, and more.

Up next is 2000. The new millennium kicked off with the PlayStation 2, and sequels like Diablo II, Majora's Mask and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 kept gamers energized. In theaters, X-Men breathed even more life into the superhero genre.

Other discussion topics include Gladiator, Jackass, Perfect Dark, and Shenmue.
