Well. I was debating over what I wanted to do in here, since well.. I cant think of anything interesting. Since I don't really use the Gaia blogs, and I'm not really too active here, I figured why not try to at least increase my activity on GBAtemp. (Especially since I've long since gotten a bit tired of Gaia.) So I suppose what I'll do here, if I can remember to, is post one game that I played at some point in time during the day. I wont stay on one game for too long unless I decide to write about a particular game in succession, so hopefully if anyone reads my blog (Which would be nice, but I don't expect much!) they wouldn't think I'm just not finishing what I'm starting.
What I'll do now is post a small bit of my gaming history/backstory, in case anyone's interested. (Doubtful!)
I started off at a young age on the Atari 2600 (Note: I was born in 1988), apparently before I could talk. I -vaguely- remember trying to play Frogger from a twin bed with cubbies in the headboard, but lol, that was some time ago. I had a wide range of 2600 games; hilariously the first RPG I've played is Adventure (Meaning the first shitty game I've played is E.T. Though I have to admit, the game has an interesting development story) A few years later, my grandmother surprised me with what I thought was the best thing ever: The Gameboy. It came with Super Mario Land, and my grandmother had bought me Batman Forever for it. I was (And still am) a big Batman fan, so I played the crap out of that game something serious. Super Mario Land served a lot of gaming use, too.
In that same year that I got the Gameboy, I had another surprise coming. Christmas time rolled around, and I was constantly eying a somewhat large box under the tree. This box, I would come to find out contained a Sega Genesis, of which I was so damn happy about that I had to go take an impulse nap for some damn reason. Anyway, that came with Sonic the Hedgehog, and I wound up becoming a big fan of the 'hog. (Sadly, I gave up on Sonic around 2006) That same year, my grandmother got an NES for "the house" (I was the only one who played it) and it came with Super Mario Bros 3. I already had some experience with Mario from playing the original with my step sister, but it was better than I thought it was gonna be.
A good couple of years later, (I was maybe six or seven now) I watched a friend play Dragon Warrior, and after he wouldn't let me borrow it, I went to stores in the malls looking for it. I never could find what I was looking for in KB Toys, things always seemed to be sold out! Though at a flea market I managed to get Dragon Warrior 2, The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man and Super Mario Bros 2 for fifteen bucks.(I really got into Mega Man in later years) Stoked as hell, I went and shoved Dragon Warrior 2 in there and played it. That single game whipped my ass so much around the end that I wanted to give it up, but eventually Malroth fell and I witnessed the end; which got me hooked on Dragon Warrior/Quest. (What really got me hooked on Dragon Quest was when I finally found myself a copy of the first game, hilariously)
The years went by, and I slowly collected up consoles ranging from SNES to PS1, unfortunately missing out on the N64 until 2003. This was due to me wasting so much time playing Phantasy Star Online that I didn't want to be bothered with other stuff, but still! I did manage to get a Gamecube since I wanted Phantasy Star Online ep 1&2, and the card game EP3. I skipped over the Xbox, and slowly the present day crept upon me. I've had almost every iteration of Gameboy (All except Super Gameboy 2) and currently have a Wii, Vita, 3DS, PSP and DS. I usually only play portable games, but I do mess with my consoles or laptop from time to time.
A good bit of things I left out to keep it kind of short, like what games I like and etc, but that's about that! (Plus it's time for bed!)
I'm gonna try to be as regular as I can with posting, but let's see how that goes.
