My Gaming History
Hey, this is my life story my history of gaming. I have played so many video games that I should be MLG I like to think I'm a casual gamer.

I first started playing video games at the ripe age of 6. On my birthday, I received a Game Boy Color and Pokemon Silver. I absolutely loved the game, even though I couldn't read most of the text back then and could only use the D-pad and repeatedly press the "A" button over and over again. I actually still own the game and occasionally play it.

My first console was the Nintendo GameCube, the little purple lunchbox with the tiny discs and plastic controllers that I received at age 8. I played Pokemon Colosseum (I know, I loved Pokemon back then), Mario Kart, and my favorite, Super Smash Bros. Melee, one of my favorite games to play, even today. Me and my brother would always play it for hours (screw homework!) and I would trash him as the Captain Falcon (FALCON PAWNCHH!!!!!). I got so into it that I actually learned how to do the advanced stuff, like "wavedashing" and "L-Cancelling" and "Moonwalking."

In 2007, I upgraded to the Nintendo Wii, and played games like Metroid Prime 3:Corruption, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I don't play with my Wii as much as I should, although my brother loves to use it.

I finally received my coveted PlayStation 3 in December 2009. I received it with only two games and I didn't receive any more for a while: Uncharted, and the masterpiece Call of Duty 4. Although the game was 2 years old, I jumped right into it and learned the mechanics fairly quickly. In April 2011, I bought Call of Duty: Black Ops and I have to say the game is pretty good, despite the common Pissy Noob Sprayer and AK-74poo. I followed up with Modern Warfare 2 in June 2011 (I know, I'm late to the party) and I don't play it often, although I find it to be a great game.

I preordered Modern Warfare 3 in June 2011 and picked it up on release day, and it really impressed me. It went above and beyond my expectations. Although similar to MW2, its new pointstreak system and weapon changes pleased me. You can usually find me playing MP and Survival Mode on it.
