My game life has been long and involved....

Started with Coleco. Games of note are Ladybug, Looplane, Baseball (with special controller) and Burgertime.

Then came NES. Lots of time spent on Zelda and all the Mario's. Also Megaman and Metroid. Ivan Thompson's Super Offroad got lots play as well as Excitebike!

Super NES brought me Mariokart. I had my name published in Nintendo Power Magazine for fastest lap time on Mario Circuit. The movie "The Wizard" was the best movie ever.

PS1 and PS2 brought me Gran Turismo. For a car nut it was the best game EVER! So many fucking hours spent on getting just 1 gold license test. I had all Gold in every one I've played so far.

Then I got an 360. Bioshock rocked my world, NFS Shift was pretty badass but other than that nothing really stands out for me. I fucking HATE playing FPS games on console and here's why.

PC gaming introduced me to FPS's. Started with Quake and Duke Nukem. Spend many many hours blasting bad guys. Then they introduced "multi" player and you would have to call up a friend on dial up and do battle one on one. Lots of fun times there and many tied up hours of phone lines.

Then a game came along that changed my gaming life. The words "Anomalous Materials" literally brought to a whole new gaming level. Half Life was the best game ever of it's time and from there came .... COUNTER STRIKE.

I became an Elite CS player, got on a Clan, got sponsored and even went to a few Mass Lan events most notably Fragapalooza twice. Jesus Christ I couldn't tell you how many hours I put into CS. I would spend allllll day playing and then all night. Cost me a GF, a Job, and several years of my life. I was completely Addicted to CS. Would I take it back? Hell no I just wish gaming was as profitable then as it is now! lol.

When Half Life 2 came out it demanded an upgrade in equipment. It was just one of many of the 2nd gen games that were coming out and requiring way more RAM and computing power. So I decided that was my time to get out of online gaming. Never upgraded my RIG and to this day I still don't have a PC.. just a shitty little Netbook for surfing the interwebs on.

I have my 360 still but it never gets played.

The only game I play anymore is Haxball... lol.

Berz out.
