i personally started playing PC games when I was probably 5-6...it was that good old Mixed Up Mother Goose nursery game.

First 3D game was The Need for Speed SE when I was 8. I had strict Asian parents that deprived me from video games so I guess I'm sort of making up for it now haha. I remember i wanted Gameboy Colour so badly. I was fed up and few years later finally saved up to buy a PS2..but didn't want to blow all my savings on a gaming console (my money concious habits started early).

at the end of grade school I got into online gaming with starcraft for a few months..sucked ass but moved onto Counter-Strike 1.3. I probably put a good 1000-2000 hours on that during my high school years. I got into Battlfield 2 and was hooked on that for maybe a year and half. Easily another solid 500+ hours on that. Again, retarded parenting. I was not allowed to play on weekdays...so on weekend evenings I end up staying up.

When I started university, I finally bought myself a PS3 (my 1st gaming console)...which is why I'm glad there's HD remastered games coming back on blu-ray nowadays. All the while I come back and play the occasional popular FPS titles like CoD4/MW2 & L4D/L4d2 on PC..till maybe a year ago when my comp started having some troubles. I've been pretty busy the past two years and probably game a few hours a week...but at the same time I still buy games regularly so my backlog just gets bigger. I've recently gotten into RPG games, amazing stuff but they are just so massive in nature that I will probably never finish them with my busy schedule. The current game that I still play on a regular basis would be Gran Turismo 5. You just can't get bored with a good sim setup trying all 200 premium cars and learning and perfecting various racing techniques is quite rewarding.

Looking to come back to PC gaming real soon with so many great PC titles returning.
