In my early teenage years, I wasn’t much of a gamer, but my girlfriend loved Tekken and some other PlayStation games she’d play at her friend’s house. So, I saved up money from every source I could to buy her a PSX with Tekken and a couple of other games.

When I got to college, I had extra money from grants and awards I’d won to go to that school. I bought a GameCube pretty much just for Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader. I also bought a new tv and it was a pain to find a GameCube at a fair price in Miami, where I used to live. Ended up getting it at MSRP at a music store that randomly carried it.

As far as a job, my first was at Target. I bought a PS2 for every game I’d missed on it, towards the end of its life. FFX, Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, Gran Turismo 4, all the God of War games, GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas and so many more. It was in that deluge of games that I became the gamer I am today.
