Well back in the day (because I can officially say that now), I distinctly remember my first true video game experience in Super Mario Bros. My sis and I played the poop out of that game to the point where we had to clean the cartridge each time before we played (maybe not each time, but frequently). Then my uncle got us a used Xbox for Christmas or something like that (might have been a birthday...not quite sure), and I threw myself into the Sega 2002 racing experience. Shortly after, I found a little game known as Jet Set Radio Future on the backside of the case, and found out I owned one of the greatest Xbox games to date just a few years ago when I actually decided to play it again. My bro and I finished it, and I must say...quite a good story...well, minus weird cat robot boss battles.
As for childhood, pretty good...minus divorce and mess. And My life now? Busy. Buttt, promisng. First year of college begins the fall of 2013, and I'm hoping the future all works out.
How about you OP?
