As a child, I grew up on games such as PAC-man, Dig Dug, and many other single joystick games. It was not until I was older that my step-brother introduced me to console games, mainly Halo 1 and 2 on the original xbox and Call of Duty on the Xbox 360. My relationship with games since my childhood has only grown stronger. I remember getting my first handheld device and instantly loving it, then I moved on to a console when I was old enough to get my own. This paved the way for me in gaming and as I got older the games I played became more mature, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Destiny 2. Lately I have been highly interested in RPG’s such as Final Fantasy 14, which was something I never thought I would be into. My go to games have always been FPS, but I wanted to start expanding my gaming horizons and find more games to love and play.

Gaming has been a part of my life for awhile now and I don’t think I could live without it. It allows me to escape the every day world for a bit and just find peace and joy in doing what I love. Over the course of the semester, I feel my relationship with games will grow even stronger due to us playing games that I have never heard of before. They seem to be ones with a great story line, but they are all different genres so I can’t wait to see how everything plays out. I may end up finding a new genre of game that I enjoy as well, which is always exciting.
