Hey! my name is Marcus and welcome to my blog, and the first thing you should know about me is my story...
The first game I ever played was the infamous Mario Brothers, and it was about as annoying as going to jail (though I have never been.. ahem), all I can remember is trying to run as fast as possible throughout the entire stage and getting pissed when not being able to time the jumps properly. I was literally leaning to the side in real life thinking it was going to make Mario jump further, and jumping off the floor with the controller in my hand thinking it would make Mario jump higher!! (Not cool at all). At around the age of 4 this game had me going INSANE (it was probably the start of all my hyper craziness. Heh..)!!! but nonetheless it started the interest.
Shortly after I got into playing games like Battle Toads, Mike Tysons Punch-Out and Metroid, but the game that truly started my digital thirst of gamer-ism was Final fantasy 2,
I was only 6... I couldn't read for scrap(actually shit!!!) but for some reason I wanted to play the "Hell outta this game" because it was totally different from any other game, seeing Rydia summon that titan which knocked a mountain onto the main character Cecil just blew my mind (like waaaaa). I had to watch my brother play this game but the sucky thing about that was ..since I couldn't read that well, plus the little reading I could do was far too slow for him so he would never wait for me to catch up with the captions (he was cold as ICE! smh..) and he refused to read the captions out loud too (being stingy with the story line) so I never knew what was really going on in the storyline, so I told myself "Marcus...its time to learn 2 reed" so I can find out the whole deal with that mountain thing cause I really wanted to know!!! So like the tune of "Eye of the Tiger" in my head, I was determined to learn how to read or at least read faster so I don't get left behind. After a little while my I determined reading was awesome!! So I just snuck and played my brothers save file and finally figured out why Rydia threw that mountain on Cecil (which was actually more of a landslide), and found out he actually unwillingly deserved it at the time!! Eventually I accidentally saved over my brothers game file and was found out! So he finally gave me my own save file so I can play on my own! lol, good times!!
At that time I realized that RPGs were my favorite game genre, which over time led me to play games like Ogre Battle, Mario RPG, Secret of Evermore, Final Fantasy 3, Secret of Mana, and Breath of Fire. Later over the years (as technology improved) I got pulled into MMORPGs like City of Heroes, Age of Conan, and Everquest 2, but the one MMORPG that carried my gaming thirst over to the next level was World of Warcraft, not because the storyline, graphics, and gameplay were awesome.... it was the PvP !! It was the only thing that mattered to me!! For the longest time I only had fun playing the shaman and windfurying lives to no end!! Besides that, exploring the whole world on foot, sneaking into enemy territories, doing instances, chilling at the auction house (trying on random players gear) , starting guilds, ganking the alliance mid quest and raiding for dem EPICS. I also had the opportunity of playing with my lovely wife who also enjoyed the game, so I never got in trouble for playing. :)
Currently I've been into Pokémon XY, Elder Scrolls, League of Legends, StarCraft 2 and Diablo 3, they are really enjoyable games for me, and I really am enjoying the competitive aspects of these games (especially Pokémon). I enjoy playing many games with friends or just random people online, im really excited because im waiting for a TON of new fun games to come out. ill be talking about them all here.
