Hello everyone,
My name is Robb and I'm a gamer.
Everybody : Hi, Robb!
Ever since I was young, I was always into entertaining myself by games. I remember when I was young, the Tetris gadget was the first game I've got. Boy, was it fun! I bet some of my readers who are too young are to know what that is. Lol.
Heck, those Tetris gadgets were so ancient, I can't even find a picture on Google. :S
Then, I was fortunate when my dad bought me a Micro Genius, which was the first generation console game that I ever laid my hands on. Back then, the game cartridges were very expensive and so was the machine. Thanks, dad for buying me such wonderful machine (back then la). I remember playing the old school Street Fighter where all characters don't have superpower, but just normal hits for combo. Lol.
Then, as I grew older, the computer age kicked in finally. I had a desktop at home and I was playing.... Starcraft!!
Starcraft was the first game that challenge me in many different ways. First off, it was tactical and strategy based game which requires player to macro manage the economy and micro manage the units. To top that up, I wasn't the best kid at school who was well verse in the English language. However, Starcraft and many other computer games helped me learn the language substantially especially through their storyline, FAQs and many more.
Heck, for some games like Age of Empires or Stronghold, I was even able to learn about the real history of civilizations before I even learn them in school. I learned plenty of other useful information through the games I've played throughout my growing up period.
Did you know that cows were slaughtered for their meat for consumption and their skin to make leather armor back in the medieval days?
Games have never fail to make me happy all the time. I can't help but to say that this fact remains as it is today, when I'm close to quarter of a century old (next year is unclehood).
Today, I own a desktop, a PS2, PS, PSP, 2 Nintendo DS Lite and a game of my passion - Magic the Gathering which I've invested countless amount of money into it (I'm stupid, don't be like me). Zach and I are even thinking of getting a PS3 now that Final Fantasy 13 is already out in English.
Final Fantasy 13 is gonna cost a bit to us if we're really gonna get it. It's because if we're playing FFXIII on our current TV, which is an old school bulky ordinary TV, the graphic it will chuck out will probably be an insult to play FFXIII with. As such, Zach is kinda determined to buy a new Full HDTV just to play FFXIII. I'm not so into the game yet since I haven't even play Final Fantasy 12 yet. Lol.
I'm also looking to change my desktop as it's now close to 5 years old (which means the system is pretty much very sucky now). I'm holding myself together and waiting for Starcraft 2 to be released before I do that. This is because I want to be able to have a desktop that is fully optimized for the game.
My card game, Magic the Gathering will be having a new set released as well. It's called Rise of Eldrazi and so far it only has 1 card that kinda like (not super like, nothing compared to Jace, the Mind Sculptor), which is Gideon Jura, a white Planeswalker.
It's going at 30USD a piece and in Malaysia we can expect it to be floating around RM90 when it's released. I'm considering should I get a playset of him fast or not. I don't really see his price shooting up like Jace, but I do wish to get him early. Hmm....
In the same time, All Is Dust is also very attractive to me since I'm a control player. Kekekeke. Hopefully this doesn't shoot up too high in price.
Okay, onto another game which I also enjoy playing which don't cost me any extra money - Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver!!! Lol. (Yes, yes, I'm childish and I play Pokemon. Shaddap).
They are actually remake of the original games with better graphics, better features and of course, access to many more Pokemons. I've always been a fan to all the Pokemon games (except Mystery Dungeons). They recently released the International English version but the pirates have yet to properly crack it. All the available ROMs for them crash after playing for maximum of 20 minutes.
As I have 2 DS Lite, I can also trade between both of them to make those pokemon that requires trading to evolve to do so. Yeah, Slowking and Scizor!!
Oh well, I can fairly say that I'm a game addict. Despite the fact I'm now so old, I still find myself very entertained whenever I play games.
I guess once a gamer, always a gamer.
If you're a gamer too, why don't you share with me what games you enjoy playing the most?
Playing Games now probably,
Robb
