My best memories of this would be jealousy over all the games this got that didn't come to GameCube; like, how was Psychonauts not perfect for the GCN?!
I played Metal Gear Solid 2 when I was old enough and after my brother was done with it, then Guilty Gear X2 ensured Guilty Gear became my favorite fighting series when I rented it, and you can't forget that its success story was largely thanks to it being a cheap DVD player.
