I always lived in video games. I love them....as a kid from the original Nintendo generation - it was all Mario, Zelda, and Mega Man.
Mega Man was actually responsible for my first actual video game melt down. Complete little kid melt down. Crying. "But I pushed jump! Why the fuck do I keep dying?!" (As a kid, I had a terrible mouth).
But on that foundation i've built some of the most amazing relationships in my life through MMO gaming and FPS gaming. Life long and life changing things have happened to me because I was exposed to gaming as a kid.
I love it!
