Where Did You Start?

[Gamegenie222]

awesome story man! im glad other people are doing the same that i did too. on the subject of being an 09er i kind of consider smash and FGC to be two different things because they have their own events but some people will consider you that. not that it matters but whatever. neways im pretty sure i used to be subscribed to your youtube account now that you mention it. i used to have a game blog back from 2008-20010 and the account was jonnitti1. i do make random videos still if i see someone talkin about something and i want to chime in but it aint like it used to be when i made a few videos a week and had people actually watch them lol. neways hopefully ill run into you at an event at some point!

Likewise I still have some of my old reviews on my new channel which is Gamegenie22 as for my Gamegenie222 channel I abandoned it cause I made a fake email and forgot the password for it at the time. I wanna start doing video game reviews again and let's plays pretty soon so if your interested look out for it. Hope I get a chance to kick it with you in the future.

EDIT: Scumbag channel push.

My first fighter was Street Fighter II Turbo in the Genesis in like 1994-5. Older kids whooped up on me until I finally got my own copy and learned all the little shit and then started beating on them. They started to pimp me out to beat their friends and make money off of me. My Blanka and Sagat was pretty much undefeated in that town.

I then moved and the new town's local diner had Tekken 1 arcade in there and I swapped to 3D games from that point on (except for a love affair with CvS2). My first tournament game was Tekken 4 at age 12ish. I went to 3-4 tournaments for it and realized what a broken piece of shit Jin was.

The first fighting game I fell in love with was MK2, it got me into the lore of MK. I was very young at the time, so I didn't know how to play, but Sub Zero and Scorpion really stuck out to me. Years later, I picked up Soul Calibur II and fell in love with it. Time went on and I casually played the mk games on ps2 and soul caliber III. When MK9 came out, it brought me back to my childhood days playing trilogy with all the characters I loved. MK9 got me into play fighters competitively involved with the FGC, I'd like to see Soul Calibur do what MK9 did for me.

Alright, so since I haven't really seen anyone say what other genre of games they first started playing, I might as well kick it off.

My first RPG was Secret Of Evermore on the SNES. Still one of my favorite games till this day, due to the storyline and characters. Plus, the dog is a badass.

First shooter game, was in fact the old 007 on the N64. Used to play the shit out of it with my friends. I'm talking 1AM or later still shooting each other up.

First Platform Game, none other than Mega Man X. I remember whenever I was stuck on the bosses, I'd ask my older brother for help and he'd tell me "No, you need to do it, on your own."

Next first, Racing Game. Super Mario Cart. I'd play Toad and I wouldn't allow anyone else to play him. The Ghost House is still one of my favorite tracks. Rainbow Road can go into oblivion.

Tomb Raider was my first Adventure Game. Took me ages to adapt to the gameplay, doing backflips and trying to remember how I died and not repeating it, those were good times.

My first mmo was PSO (Phantasy Star Online), played that for so long, I don't remember when I started, or how long I've been there. All I know is, I've been there until the end came. Which was when Microsoft shut down the online servers for the original Xbox, so I was forced to quit. Didn't want to either. I could have stayed there for more years then I know. That mmo was my number 1 favorite game in the whole damn world. I would play 20/7, getting myself 3-4 hours of sleep & skip school A LOT. I would wake up with over whelming excitement, & IMMEDIETLY turn on the Xbox, just to play that damn game. That taste of a game being that good still has never left me. When ever I hear just one sound track from the game, my hairs stand right the fuck up! I get goose bumps hardcore, my nips get hard, I arch my back like somebody got me up the butt, & my bullz get so wet. I cry a little...

Now I'm stuck without a place to call home. My world has been lost from me. I find myself looking for a new world. Every where I go, I can't seem to call a game home anymore. Future games just suck that badly. The only one that I seem to love the most so far is SC, but not even that could compare the power of the love I had for something that rare & unique. That game had everything! Quests, Battle Modes, Challenge Modes, CaS, Classes, Races, Lobbies, Parties! everything I wanted.
