[ElderScroller27]

I'm 29 and I had an uncle that was an avid gamer so basically from the age of 9 I had access to his consoles and PC games. I started out in the 80s on an Atari and "intelivision?" I remember games like Frogger, Burgertime, and Dreadnaught Factor. Then I transitioned into PC games like Zork and later on Wolfentstien. I would mow half a dozen lawns each week all summer at $5 each and use the money to buy PC games so I basically played a little bit of everything in the Late 80s through the 90s. I remember Rygar, Tetris, and Zelda on the Nes. I never had a Sega genesis so that whole experience was lost to me but at the time I was HEAVY into PC gaming so it wasn't a real loss. I got heavily addicted to RPGs and Combat Flight Sims,, I played pretty much EVERY RPG available on PC in the 90s. and the vast majority of Flight games. The notable one I remember are Xwing, Tie Fighter, Strike Commander, Privateer, Wing Commander 2 through 5, Aces of the Pacific, Aces over Europe, and Apache. With Doom I became really attracted to shooters so the Quake Series brought me many hours of joy. AND THEN in the mid 90s I discovered Internet gaming with Quake online, StarCraft, and Diablo. Needless to say at the age of 20 I was Pulling down 20 hour long Quake/Starcraft gaming sessions. I even managed a top 20 worldwide ranking on Starcraft for 1 month at my height. Sadly real life kicked in and I got a job. i ended up moving from Pennsylvania to Oregon in 1999 and not having access to any gaming at all. I got myself a PS1 sometime in 2002 and dove right on in to enjoy every game it had available with the exception of sports titles. A couple years later Microsoft Came out with the Xbox and I was so impressed with what I was seeing about Halo on the Internet that I decided an Xbox was worth owning just for Halo alone and any other game would be a bonus, I was right. i did the whole xbox thing with a few steps back to playstation now and again, the PS2 did not impress me so i stuck to my xbox and was delighted to find morrowind which i knew would be good thank to my nearly decade old memories of Elderscrolls2 Daggerfall.. I sold my Xbox about 8 months after the 360 launched and bought my 360 10 months after launch.
My initial 360 lasted 11 days and fried itself unable to read any discs. it was replaced at the store without a hassle. my 2nd 360 lasted 7 flawless month and started havign severe heat spikes with 2 red lights so it's currenty at the repair center... I mailed it off over a week ago and i'm DYING. I need my Gears, Lost Planet, and Wormz!!!!!!!!!!!!!
