Hi I'm Will, 26 year old male, does errands by day spins music by night and when the sun is barely up I'm a GAMER. Yes I admit I'm a gaming machine a.k.a Gaming Addict.
It started way back when I was a kid, the Atari was my first taste, playing Meletepid, a sort of 2D vertical shooter that shoots up to on coming blocks that move from left to right, the addiction came as tying to score the highest points, and yes I would do anything to play the Atari back then, meaning from cleaning my room, taking out the trash, keeping the whole two storey house clean. It even became worst when I had to behave like an angel, doing my homework & studies on time, just for a chance to get my hands on the Atari console on the weekends and all that trouble just for a limited 1 hour of game-play.
Years later it moved on to Game and Watch, some of you might still remember these little gadgets that fits in your hands, and runs on small batteries, Yup, I had several tittles different types of excitement just listing my fav's are Balloon Fight and Testris, never had to do anything to play them due to the basic reason is that I earned them bought them with my own cash , Life was good back then I never parted with my Game & watch , brought them where ever I go, even in the toilet, your can hear the beep beep sounds that come out of them, not forgetting other sounds that are not meant to be heard of coming out of the toilet. But I was not in there for to long as another console was up to my grasp, it was the SNES Nintendo, that 8 bit graphic, stuns me hard drawing me in deeper and deeper into the abyss of gamming, but then I had to come back on to doing the chores in order to get clearance for the T.V. Then it all died out living me dry and empty for a few year as I stopped playing games and found my self in the realm of Spiritual gaming but that is another story for another time.
After the long period of none gaming my attention was diverted into something more stronger, more powerful that would change the course of my life it was the age of the PC and the uprising of the Playstation bringing me to the world of 3D experience, after getting a does of Doom 2 and some Metal Gear I would never look back it was like I was begging for more and the thirst that just would fade I needed more. The symptoms that I suffered during play was awesome, making me utter words like "wow that looks so real" the black eye back to late night play would never be forgotten.
Fast forward to now, I still love playing games, it's a part of me now, the adrenaline rush that I get is far greater than any other can give, and Graphics has tremendously changed, multiplayer has been added in most games, letting you get high with others, The PC, playstation2, Xbox, Nintendo will give a person so much fun that you need , better than singing in a Karaoke bar with a mug on your right hand is just out plus leaving you with a headache in the morning.
If I could turn back time and change my gamming addiction or life, that's a BIG "NO", never did regret the time I laid my hands on a console, I'm proud of who I'm and what I'm and whatever people say like "never had enough toys when they were young" yada yada yada "childish behavior" blah blah blah "your wasting time and money" boohoo, are all rubbish because I know that I'm not alone. There are others like me,
We have a LIFE, we WORK to earn our games, and we surely know how to PLAY.
