Growing up:

  • playing Perfect Dark either story coop or battle simulator with my best friend or brother
  • getting totally immersed in Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask
  • Silent Hill 2 and 3 with best friend
  • playing Star Craft online until way too late, also with best friend
  • not only joy maybe, but FFX was very memorable for me
  • organising Xbox lan parties at our house playing 16 player death matches in Halo

Adult:

  • Getting a Switch totally re-ignited my gaming passion. Having a full time work and family it is hard to find the time to sit down and focus on a game, the Switch with its quick sleep/on/off and tv/mobile feature changed that. I felt like a teenager again when I lost track of time (usually late at night) while playing Breath of the Wild and the Xenoblade series
  • FFXIV and getting immersed once again in a game world
