When did I start gaming officially? God, I don't remember the year, but it was when I was little, playing Mario and Atari games with my older brothers. Man, those were the days when video games were cheesy looking as hell but still crazy fun to play. My first official computer game was probably Final Fantasy 8... though b/c my first computer was a piece of crap with a Pentium 1 processor, an 8GB hard drive, onboard video only, and running Windows 98, it really wasn't that much fun to play. Once I got my rig updated a little better, I got into Diablo II, some Red Faction thanks to Zigian, and just sort of snow balled things from there. I've been hooked on gaming ever since.
