lets see I was born in '91 so I was 6 in 97, and i started gaming seriously in '98 on StarCraft and Half-Life, and of course played DOOM, Quake, and all those games, so essentially watched the rise of major videogames,
Been a PC Gamer since '98 , (Not starting a flame war, I have and play a 360 alot, as well as a N64, PS2, NES, SNES, but I've logged wayyyy more hours on my PC)
Essentially lived my entire life that i can remember,
Including traveling to Chicago on weekends for a good chunk of my life, playing sports, played easily 4-6000 hours of games since I started, which could have included DNF 3 times over

, travelling to 3 other countries outside of the US besides Canada, partying it up, staying up til all hours with 3 other friends beating Gauntlet Legends probably 5 times, learned how to play guitar, started playing Warhammer 40k since 5th grade and still playing on my 3rd army, probably have fired over 400,000 rounds of ammunition combined ( I grew up around guns), Witnessed the rise of the internet, youtube, google, texting/smartphones, reading countless books and comic books, beating all of the metal slug games like 50 times a year

, developed my obsession of star wars and warhammer 40k, and so on and so forth, basically a shit ton of stuff lol
Fun Fact btw, i was born on the EXACT day the NES hit the shelves in the US
