Hey all! Any gamers on here?
I have a huge passion for gaming, and I've been playing games basically all my life now.
I remember when my dad brought home a Sega Genesis with Duck Hunt. Oh boy, I've played that game religiously.
After, he then got me a NES where I spent most of my child hood playing Mario, Galaga, and Tetris. We then upgraded to the SNES where I was introduced to Street Fighter! This is where I got hooked to fighting games. I remember playing hours of non-stop Street Fighter even on a school night. My mom would get mad at me because I had to go to school the next morning, but I would always find a way to sneak out of bed just to play for a bit.
As the years go by, I continued gaming. I basically owned every console released. As soon as the PS1 came out, that's where I started my JRPG adventures. Played some great games such as Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, the list goes on.
Today, I hardly game on consoles but I do own a PS4. I will most likely start using my PS4 once The Last of Us 2 comes out. I am excited for that! Nowadays, I'm more of a PC gamer with a huge back logged steam library of over 1k games. Right now I'm playing an MMORPG called Final Fantasy XIV. I probably have close to 4k hours on it right now (Yeah I'm addicted.) If I'm not playing that, I'm usually playing Overwatch, Hearthstone, or PUBG with some friends.
Gaming has always been there in my life and I don't think I'll ever stop. I see myself gaming in the future when I have kids and even grand kids. Gaming is a great get away when you're going through some tough patches in life, and I'm glad my dad introduced me to it when I was young.
I would love to hear some of your gaming stories! What are your favorites games? What was your first console/game played? What do you play now? Do you see yourself gaming in the future as you get older? Feel free to leave me a comment below :)
