I remember seeing this topic years ago (sorry if there was one more recent, I haven't been on). But yeah I loved seeing people talk nostalgia about the games that got them hooked to see if I can relate or not!

So yeah the MMORPG Everquest got me into gaming when I was around the age of 8, I would sit next to my father and watch him game out for hours on end and do a little dance whenever him and his guild mates would kill the boss and the end of the dungeon they were running. For my birthday that year my father let me make a character on his account to mess around and bam I was hooked!

Tell me your stories!

I'd say my first experience from loving gaming goes all the way back to Mario kart on my n64
My first experience with grinding a game was Runescape all the way back in like 4th grade
I finally got a Xbox and my first experience with console gaming was halo 2, but halo 3 was the game that changed everything for me

I remember spending my whole 7th grade summer putting atleast 2k hours in GMod. The countless hours playing on RP servers being a drug dealer lol.

I remember playing Halo 3 at my friends house and then when MW2 came out we would stay up days at a time swapping turns on playing. Good times.
