Between After Effects continuously crashing, and scrapping 3 different ideas, this took a while. The voice definitely isn't the best, hence the video itself.
I started gaming when I was 3, when my uncle took me to his workplace, and while he worked, I played Super Mario Bros 2. I instantly fell in love with the world of gaming, and decided to further my pursuits.
When I was 6, my parents put me in a daycare where I first got to play the Super Nintendo. We had copies of Sunset Riders, Aladdin, Donkey Kong Country, and Super Mario Kart, but every once in a while, one of the 'big kids' would sneak in a copy of Street Fighter 2, Super Metroid, Megaman X, or Kirby Superstar. That summer, I worked up enough money cutting lawns with my friends to buy myself an SNES and a copy of Animaniacs. I fell in love instantly. My parents even gave me 50 bucks to buy a game. Being the deluded, stupid child I was, I bought myself copies of Shaq Fu & Barkley's Shut Up and Jam! I even liked it. For a while.
When I was 7, my best friend got a Nintendo 64, and he bought copies of Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark, and Pokemon Snap. I gave him Goldeneye for his birthday, and we played the shit out of it for a week. Then my parents became worried when I complained that my fork didn't have a C-stick at dinner.
The next year, I bought myself a PS2 at launch by selling some of my other crap. It came with a copy of Madden NFL 2001, and SSX. This was when I first came to the conclusion that EA is a group of vicious & evil bastards, upon getting the realization that 2001 was the same as the previous year. The next summer, I got a Xbox for my birthday, and a copy of Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers (which, might I add, is a fucking phenomenally underrated 3D platformer.) I didn't buy many games for the Xbox, and the greatest I remember was Jet Set Radio Future, the sequel to one of the Dreamcast's greatest games. (which I did not play until my cousins got a Dreamcast, House of the Dead, and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, complete with Michael Jackson.)
In 2005, I got a Xbox 360 at launch, along with Perfect Dark Zero and PGR3. PGR3 was for my sister, but PDZ was pretty good. Playing it later, I realized just how much it fucking sucked. Next year, I recieved a Wii about a week after launch as my Christmas gift, including near 10 games. I now have 3, only one of them the same as the launch games. (including Wii Sport. Goddamn, Red Steel & COD3 sucked.) I now have 21 games spanning 5 consoles, and consider myself to be somewhat of a hardcore gamer. Don't quote me on that though, I'm hardcore in spirit, but not in practice. Being a kid will do that to you I
