Greetings everyone, here's a little blog I decided to start up to give myself something to do when I lack the time/energy to record videos for my YouTube channel. I'll primarily be posting about video games but family stuff (and my other hobbies: Warhammer 40,000 and Magic: the Gathering) are sure to pop up here as well.
Now, about me. You could check out my introductory video, for which I would REALLY appreciate the views, but if you can't be bothered (and sometimes you really just can't): I'm a married father of 2 with a 3rd child due in less than 2 weeks from the date of this post. I've been playing video games since I was about 4 when my family had acquired a TI-99/4A computer console and purchased an Atari 5200 game console. I got hooked big time when we got the Nintendo Entertainment System (known as NES or simply "Nintendo") and I got to play such games as Super Mario Bros and my all-time favorite, The Legend Of Zelda (gold cartridge baby!). After my parents divorced my mom got us a Super NES for Christmas and my dad got a Sega Genesis, so clearly the battle lines had been drawn (that was the first major console war since the very early '80s). In 1994 my mom bought a Packard-Bell (remember them?) Intel 486 based PC (66 MHz processor! 4 MB RAM! 2x CD-ROM! 14.4 kbps modem!). My first PC games were the shareware version of DOOM (still my all time favorite PC game) and Falcon 3.0 (one of the best flight simulators ever made) and... it all went downhill from there.
More to follow soon!
