When the zombie apocalypse happens, you'll wish more parents had trained their kids!

Wrong, more clueless people = more time for me to escape while they get eaten :3

Very wise Miz! XD

When I was 4 I started with Crash 3: Warped and Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer.

I remember Spyro! It was one of my brother and my favorite games back then.



I've played games since I was a kid, but it wasn't until the PS1 where I actually became a dedicated gamer. Spyro/Crash Bandicoot/Final Fantasy VIII made me fall in love with gaming.



The Legend of Zelda (Nes), the music, the atmosphere, the fairies, the powers, the quest, the old woman letter, the waterfall and it still magic... after that was the time of Super Mario Bros 3, level one, firsty power up. A leaf. A simple leaf and the ability to fly. I can still feel the emotion of when I first left the ground and reached the first 1-Up above the clouds! unforgettable! 1993

(then other emotion and needs take control of my body and i have lost control with gaming) (I did own PS1 and played PS2 but nothing touched me as much)

Then Xmas 2008 an expected gift, a Wii and Super Mario Galaxy - and teh magic sparkled again and brighter. i spent tthe first two games compeltely obsessed. And i did not realize how much i have lost in 15 years... so i had to speed up and play all the incredibles game.... all Mario and all Zelda.... GREAT!



Switch!!!

i must've been around 7 or 8 when i started gaming on a famicom clone. my younger sister got into her head that she wanted a console and got my parents to give her one. we used to play a lot growing up.

after the famiclone we got a sega master system, then a sega saturn, then a playstation.

she eventually stopped playing videogames. now she and her husband have a wii mostly for party games.

i had a playstation 2, playstation 3, psp and nintendo dsi xl.

will get vita and will continue playing for as long as i enjoy it no matter my age.

it's something i've been doing for like 20 years and i really enjoy it.



It was 1984 I think that I kissed my first game: King's Quest. It was a pretty akward relationship. KQ wanted to keep it exclusive but I wanted to see other genres. After a sector became corrupt on disc 2 I left KQ for Super Mario Bros. Later on I was caught cheating on Mario with Sonic. The relationship I had with Sega was perfect until the dream died in 2001. Since then I've been a hollow shell of my former self, flirting with a Dead Rising here and a Minecraft there but the spark just isn't there anymore. *sigh*



Parent's surprised my 7 year old self with a Nintendo 64 with Super Mario 64 and Wave Race 64. Pretty much my childhood gaming until I was 12 or 13. Didn't realize Playstation existed until I was 10 or 11.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Even more wrong! More people that know what they're doing = more likely that there are fewer people stupid enough to be eaten/bitten/turned into zombies, and more people to kill the dumbasses that are.

 

Less zombies + more people killing the zombies = yeah, things are less interesting, but the apocalypse is less apocalyptic and more survivable!
