Assassin's Creed?

Bonus points to anyone that knows what that is showing on the screens....

A very early alpha build of Star Citizen 😆 Seriously now, maybe Freelancer?

I will give you a clue. It is playing a DVD movie. It is not a game. Though there are many games based around it

Something Star Wars maybe!?

Very good. This is a view of Coruscant:

The attachment Galactic_City.webp is no longer available

Damnit. Too short time for me to get to answer that before it was revealed 🤣

Haha, amazing how only the style of the CGI can give you a hint sometimes.
But I couldn't tell which movie exactly. Was it Episode II?

I am not sure, its been a while since I have seen the movies. But I have these photos also that may give a clue:

Oh, and this one, showing my desktop wallpaper at the time:

Bonus points for naming the person on that wallpaper.

Revenge of the Sith.

As for the person, I don't know 🤷

IDK, but somewhat remember Natalie Imbruglia.

Good guess, but no. I expect most people wont know her. British singer. Used to be part of a girl group, and went solo. I don't think she was known outside of the UK.

Sporty Spice?

She's world famous though and looks nothing like the one in the photo 😆

I'm going to guess Liz McClarnon from Atomic Kitten, although I've only known her for the last 5 minutes after I searched for British girl bands from the 2000s.

My knowledge of girl bands is limited.
In fact this one has blue eyes and Melanie C does not (I had to look up her name).

When Spice girls first came out it was horrible, their song aired everywhere. 🙁
What I really, really wanted was more rock.

Holy shit I read that as more cock.. Watching Heated Rivalry has done terrible things to my head.

🤣, you misread for sure...
It was a phase in the late 90's and early 2000's that I don't miss, a phenomenon bringing in money and there were copies.
You know how it was.

To go back to retro, I remember many pics of people's PCs and posters of this or that one female singer on the wall 😀
Christina Aguilera was another flood...

Sorry, both wrong. Another clue. She married a UK footballer.

Victoria then. She really does look so different now.

I cheated and asked a friend (btw, he's british).
He think it's her but he's not 100% sure (I believe so after looking at pics), the name of the band is "something that lasts a lot". Her name has some "chili" in it.
If it is correct I'll tell when requested, I don't want to spoil the hunt.

TBH I would have never found her, I never heard of her.

No! Sorry! But that is probably the most likely match for a singer of that era married to a footballer.

Based on what you said about the band, I think you are correct. I am not sure on the chilli reference though.

In the FHM magazine 100 s*xiest women she was in the list for something like 10 years. Dont think she ever won it though
