Due to overwhelming demand after declaring myself a gamer, I am now going into "the details."
I was a PC gamer from the old Black and Green CGA graphics days. My first VGA game was Monkey Island. My last real PC game was Deus Ex or Deus Ex 2. I played mainly shooters, adventure games, and StarCraft (I was going to say RTSs, but it was really just StarCraft). I never had a console, but my Grandma Xhonzi always did, so I played Metroid and Zelda and Mario. I was really excited about Halo coming out on PC, and then got very ticked when Microsoft bought Bungie and made it an Xbox exclusive. I wasn't interested in Xbox anyways, but that ticked me off enough that I boycotted it.
And then I got married and got a real job.
Not having as much time anymore, I stopped gaming for a couple years. I eventually picked up an Xbox when Halo 2 came out. I found mostly games that my wife and I could play co-op together. But little-by-little my gaming interests came back. I bought a 360 in '06. I stay about a year behind or so on games so I can pick them up for cheap. (www.cheapassgamer.com if you don't know). There are exceptions like Rock Band and Halo where I am willing to pay a little more knowing that I'll get my money's worth.
We also own a Wii because we are Middle America. I really bought it to keep playing Metroid, Mario and Zelda.
You can find me on xbox live by the gamertag of 'xhonzi' (shocker!). The last games I completed were Prince of Persia and my first playthrough of Halo Wars, which I'm going back through on Legendary. We have people over to play Rock Band a couple times a month. The wife and I have furious Peggle/Puzzle Quest contests that usually end with me sleeping on the couch. And after many months I'm about 1/2 way through Gears of War 2 with my friend from Boston. He has a wife and kids too (and a real job), so we have a hard time finding the time to chainsaw people in the face together. That, and he's two timezones away.
I've never gone the handheld route, but C3PX has got me thinking.
Well, I'm sure nobody really cared, but that's the kind of gamer I am.
