Yeah, that about covers it for sports. I'm not a real hardcore sports fan to boot. The sports I follow the most are NFL, NBA when I can, motocross, and of course boxing. I've been a big fight fan ever since my uncle took me to the fights when I was younger.
What got you into video gaming: Honestly, I don't even know. I guess if your looking to hear an interesting story on how I broke into gaming, mines not. In order to make this blog interesting however I will fabricate a story to keep my readers' attention, lol no... I'm just kidding. My earliest video gaming experiences that I remember was from going to the local arcades to play some donkey kong. I really didn't even like the game. It wasn't until my parents bought me a Commodore 64 that thats what got me into the gaming culture. A lot of gamers started out on the SNES, others the NES, and much older gamers probably the Atari 2600. Me, I started out on the C64 so its probably kind of an awkward platform of gaming to start with. The first c64 game I actually played was Turrican. I'd say my next system that I was introduced to was the NES.
Favorite VG Character(s): Hmm.. Sam Fisher, The Punisher, Dante, Simon Belmont, Link, and Hunk (Resident Evil)
Biggest Mistake In Gaming: Can't say that I have any.
Biggest Accomplishment In Gaming: Well I have two answers for this one. The first one is I am a VG aficiando so that has turned me into quite a collector over the years. I own an extensive amount of VGs as well as consoles. Owns well over 2500 games and almost every console out there including the handhelds. My other accomplishment is something I like to call trophies. For some people its maybe getting all said achievements in certain games, maybe just beating a rather difficult game is one. Me I am just infatuated with challenges and thats how I get my highs. I'm more of a perfectionist you can say, most of the time making attempts to clear games without losing a life or getting hit. I than record my gameplay in its entirety and keep videos as "trophys". Its something I have been doing for a long time and have built up quite a collection (I actually have 190 games in videos I have done over the years). Its very fun and gives me something to shoot for in my spare time. I love to bring out the old video collections and rewatch some of the work I've done, maybe shouting at myself because I can't believe I made a few small mishaps, hehe. Or maybe coming to a revelation that I now realize I did better than I once thought I did on a particular game.
Favorite Video Games: I'll just name a few; a) Link To The Past b) The Guardian Legend c) Super Mario Bros 3 d) Metro 2033 e) MGS 3 & 4 f) Castlevania 2
Now for the tagging part. Gonna have some fun with this, heh. Oh btw, responding to tags is optional. If you don't want to participate you don't have to. No worries. Since I was video tagged, I'm going to say this can be done in a blog if you don't want to post a video if your not comfortable or don't own a camera.
