I started getting into the gaming world at 10 years old! I was at Peter Piper pizza knowing that I would not be getting the new N64. Out of no where I get handed a massive box and low and behold it was the console!! Moments later everyone attending the party started to hand me smaller boxes and they had gotten me all the games possible! It was history after that!!
Videos games for me became a very important part of my life very very fast! I was so intrigued by how I could make a little man jump around and do what I want and how the internals of the console worked! I quickly found a broken N64 from someone in the neighborhood and took it apart to learn. I wanted to know more and more! I then saved up to get a Gamecube and could not afford a memory card so I kept that Gamecube on for months so I would not lose my Spiderman completions haha I was very involved in games such as Need4Speed (Lean Back!), Slug Fest, and so many more!
At 15 I wanted a Xbox SO bad but my parents said we could not afford it and this conversation happened in a grocery store called Sprouts in-front of the cashier so she said “would you like to work here and save up for it?” And I said yes! After a few months later I finally got my Xbox and quickly became one of the best in my community in Halo and COD! I could not get away from it! My friends would challenge me every week and let’s just say they would regret it haha
Once Halo 4 came out I was in college and my best friend and I stood in line at GameStop overnight! We were number 1 and 2 in the city to get the game first the following morning! New stations were trying to ask us questions but we were sleep deprived and ready to play so we just pushed past them. We then spent the next 72 hours playing straight and beat the campaign around 4am that same night! We became some of the best in the business in the BR game play. Let’s not forget the best part of the game! Gun Game!
Once the PS4 came out it was a very tough decision to make the switch from xbox to Sony but let me tell you it was well worth it! My PS4 came with the new Spiderman and it was one of the best games I have been lucky enough to play!
Shortly after, the game I consider to be the best game I have ever played, The Last Of Us came out and I was moving to The Bay Area for a while so I had to preorder it to the Bay Gamestop and stand in line there the morning after arriving! Everyone was doing meet and greet at the mothership of Apple while I was grinding Last of Us in my hotel room for days with the lights off!
Now what came after that I wish I could have expect but would never have known. I was never a fan of the the GTA lines but when GTA V came out I was OBSESSED. I still love and play the game to this day!! I put in night after night to have it all in that game and actually got all the trophies which I was super proud of!! That game took many years out of my life and let me say it was worth it!
Years go by and then Fortnite comes out. I was willing to do anything to play just “one more” game with the boys every night haha. That game took the world by STORM!! I quickly became a very good sniper but could not figure out how to become the best builder! I started to play Warzone shortly after as well and quickly became even more obsessed with the BR lifestyle! To this day I cannot get away from the game. Even with all the bad press of cheating and boosting I still want a piece of the pie!!
My goal is to get back into tournament play much more and create the best community the world within The Moose Lodge!!! So if you have not joined up hit that link up top and we will welcome you with open arms!
