Now you play awesome games like God of War. Because now you're cool.
@Topic (thanks for this fun topic):
I started gaming at a very young age, the first games I ever played were Nintendo games, then old PC games. I believe the first game I ever saw in my life was one of Castlevania or Super Mario Bros. At least, it's the first conscious memory of video games I have I think.
Early on I watched my brothers play video games, and on rare occasions I would be included in the party (for example, I was nominated the White Mage in Final Fantasy, we were 4 brothers). I then went on to play more PC games like King's Quest, Pacman, Prince of Persia, Where in Time is Carmen San Diego, and Warcraft II.
I then moved on to Super Nes where my highlights were Final Fantasy II and Donkey Kong Country, among others. In the N64 era, the first time I laid my eyes on Super Mario 64, my gaming world was reinvented. My whole family was intrigued at this new game even though many of them had put video games behind them. Mario was something special, you could move him in all directions, make him run and do pirouettes, slide and tripple-jump. I will never forget those magical moments. The N64 continued to give, as one of my most beloved gaming experiences was the game OoT. A game where everything and anything felt magical, whimsical. Around that same period I had a taste of the awesome games of Diablo, Starcraft and Diablo II. Other defining moments for me in that period were the 3 playstation final fantasy games, all 3 of them, but especially VII and VIII. These were world-shattering games, and completely revolutionized the series. My next addictions came in the form of Super Smash Bros. Almost all my gamecube years were invested in Super Smash Bros. Melee, I absolutely loved that game. And of course Wind Waker, another masterpiece and precious experience. During this same period I fell in love with Warcraft III and its two intreaguing races. It was around this time that I started getting interested in the Dreamcast and was Sega did for gaming, and picked up a 2nd hand DC with a few great games. In the Wii Era, I had a lot of pleasure from Wii Sports. Once again a game that got my family and I curious in gaming again. The Wii was also a giver with games like Twilight Princess which I thoroughly enjoyed, and Skyward Sword, but the Wii didn't give me as much pleasure as Nintendo's prior systems. My latest big experience has been FFX (which I'm still currently playing), and before that Super SFIV, and I am today enjoying OoT 3D again and Donkey Kong Country Returns.
