NOTE = I KNOW IT'S A LONG BLOG BUT PLEASE READ IT, YOU KNOW WE DON'T HAVE 50TH BLOG EVERYDAY :D

I'm very pleased to welcome you all to my 50th Blog, As you all know, It'll be a boring blog as always but I've tried my best to make it interesting. Please if you have some time to spare, Read it entirely. I put a lot of effort into this one.....

I thought a lot that what can be special about this blog. First I wanted to go with "My Time on GS" blog, I did a lot of research and collected some data to make an appropriate blog. It took me quite some time in effort to collect the data and when I began writing to it, I don't know why but I scrapped that idea in the last moment, May be because in February, My GS birthday or anniversary is coming and I thought it'll be appropriate to do the blog at that time. I came up with a new idea: "My Gaming History", Once again I collected some data and did some research and finally got this out of those tons of scrap material..........

My Gaming History

[CONSOLES]

Oh I wouldn't lie, It's very very hard to write and describe my life with respect to gaming in just a few words but I'll try my best....

• When I played my first game, I think I would have been 2 or 2 1/2 years old. The console was Atari 2600, It was my uncle's console and even at that time, It was a very very old console, Which he gave us as a gift

NOTE = I added this to describe the point properly as many people dind't understood it or are making fun of me in comments, I don't mean that I started playing games at the age of 2 or 2 12, I mean that's the first time I laid my hands on a game controller, You know kids are strange :lol:

• I was stuck with Atari 2600 till the age of 6.

• In the same time, My brother had a NES, Which he didn't shared with me cause as a naughty child :oops:. I broke the controllers and cartridges and did all other foolish things, Which a child can do, So I played with my Atari 2600.

• When my Brother bought SNES then he gave me his NES I was 6 or so in that time.

• I used the console (NES) for like 1 or so year and then my brother sold both of the consoles and bought Sega Mega Drive or You can call it Genesis too.

• Well I played only a few games on Genesis because for some reason in the childhood, I wasn't really into the games. I just played them for fun sometimes, Otherwise I wasn't addicted to them as brother.

• I only played a few games in those days, Yep may be 20 or so. 10+ on Atari, 10 on Nes, One or two on Snes and one or two on Genesis.

• Due to bad grades of my brother, Father sold Genesis and we were without any console for long time. I was like 8 or so in that time.

• I think We had Genesis for only 6 months and we played like 5 games MAX on that console.

• Well I think when I was 9 to 10, I bought SNES from one of my friends, This is the exact time when PS2 was going to release around the world.

• I played games on NES for like one year and after that with a lot of hard work and effort, Me and brother finally bought ourself a good computer, Which was able to run games. Now that's the place where I got in to Gaming, Not a lot but a little.

• I was 10 to 11 in that time, Those were good days and I was a noob gamer. Remember I'm talking about 2000 and 2001 here.

• When I was 12 years old, I bought myself a Play Station from my cousin, Yep the good old one, Now this is 2002, When PS was almost dead but still I had great time with the console.

• It was not my first time with PS, One of my cousins owned a PS1 since 96 and Me and brother had played a lot of games on his sytem. The reason we didn't had one for ourself was that my father didn't wanted us to get spoiled by the games. He wanted us to be good and responsible kids and students, Which ain't a bad thing in my opinion.

• Yes the PS (Which I bought) was the same which is mentioned above (My Cousin's, Which he had since 96). Note that (as mentioned) I had played a lot of games on this (PS) system from before but owning your personal thing is always great, Isn't it.

• I played games on PS for 2 years and after that I bought a PS2 in early 2005, I was 14 at that time. That's the time When MGS 3 subsistence was released.

• Now once again, It wasn't my first time with the system. I had used PS2 for like 150+ to 200+ hours from before, With my Cousin and friends.

• This was the nightmarish console, Which truly got me into gaming, My grades went down and every bad thing that could happen to someone happened to me. I was playing mature rated games in that time, Thanks to my brother :D but the problem was that my Social and educational life was pretty damn affected by this console.

• But with time, I managed and surfaced victorious. Now that's great Isn't it :lol:

• I used PS2 till 2008 and then I sold it to buy a X360, It's the time when the Great GTA IV was released. Once again it wasn't my first time with console and I had used it before (A little, Just for a few hours). Many people didn't liked X360 at start because here in Asia a lot of people love Sony.

• Well Luckily My console got RROD in less then 4 months and due to X360 not being officially released here, I lost my console. Just for your information Microsoft only covers Warranty support in 26 countries in entire world [For X360 only], Only in those countries, Where Live service is officially released. In other places you are doomed.

• We have PS3 warranty here. PS3 supports worldwide warranty system, Even If PS3 is not released in your country, You can take PS3 to Sony Centre and they will claim your PS3 warranty from other country and will repair it free of charge. Even though it takes some time but at least you can claim your warranty. So I thought I'll buy a PS3 when the price reduces to 300$.

• So I moved to PC gaming and I'm still with it to this date. Although PS3 is 300$ now but I'm comfortable with my PC, So I don't know either I'll buy one or not, When God of War 3 launches.

[PORTABLES]

I didn't merged both Timelines to make it simpler. The Portable Timeline will easily fit in the above, If you read it carefully........

• Our [Me & Bro] first handheld was Game Boy, Which my brother got in 1996, It's the same time, When my brother bought the SNES. Yep he bought Game boy 3 or 4 months after buying the SNES.

• The second one was Game Boy Colour, Which he bought in 2001. This is the time when we were doing PC gaming for the first time.

• We bought a Game Boy Advance SP in 2004 and sold it in early 2005, The reason was that we were bored of Portable gaming. After selling it we bought PS2.

• We bought PSP in 2006, This is the time when I also had a PS2. We sold the handheld in 2008 before buying the X360.

• I bought a DS Lite for myself this year in August and to this date I haven't ended a single game on this, WOW that's an achievement.

• I also have a PSP, Well I don't own it but it's with me mostly. My cousin has two PSPs, One is his little brothers and second is his own, So mostly one of the PSP's is with me and I get the games for free too :D.
