Mine is summed up in a few seperate eras:

1990 - 1993:
- Serious start to videogames (I'd played videogames before the 90s, but 1990 was the year we got a NES and an Amiga 500). Introduction to a lot of the most memorable series for me (Mario, Zelda, Megaman, etc.).
- Hearing my sister's constant playing of boybands in the adjacent room

1994 - 1998:
- JRPGs. Started with Secret of Mana in an attempt to find a game similar to Zelda. I was hooked since and tried out as many Square games as possible.
- PC: Started learning as much as I could about the PC in my spare time.
- Internet: Started off with website browsing, then moved to IRC. Things were simple but effective back then.
- Anime: I'd watched anime in the 80s, but this was the first time I actually knew it as anime. Started downloading some anime episodes with my 14.4k modem.

1999:
- Start tertiary education. Finally in a subject that I wanted to learn.
- Pokemon: Anime and JRPG. It reeled me in instantly!
