    The End of an Era

    Sorry for the delayed reply. I haven't given anything away that I had very fond memories with, (not that I can remember) but the things I do have, I will have a hard time parting with. It started with the nintendo system that my parents had. Me and my brother started gaming on it, mostly with Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland, and others (LoZ and FF). We'd play and play until bed when allowed. We had a lot of fun with the NES. Then we leveled up to the W98, with games like Croc and Frogger, and HT WoS, Midtown Madness. (can't forget about Pajama Sam and Putt Putt). We had so much fun, on the small monitor that we owned. In reality those games and consoles are buried away now due to lack of compatibility with modern technology. They were great machines and served there purpose to the extreme. I don't remember exactly when, but we got GBC's and would play Pokemon through the cable link. Then GBA's and games, then I got an GBA SP, but my brother had fallen off the Nintendo train and I stayed on. Then one day Christmas morning came around. We woke up to see what Santa had brought us. We rushed into the living room to see a huge green box with a red bow. We dragged our parents into the room. They told us to lift up the box together, and as we did, A brand new TV and PS2 were revealed. This was our most cherished console for the longest time. Tak and the Power of Juju, ATV, Tomb Raider, LEGO Star Wars to name a few games we had. Of course, getting older led to games like GTA 3 and CoD and soon our PS2 finally slowed it's self down in it's old age and began to not read memory cards or discs, and slowly found itself packed away. Then, my uncle across the street stepped in and saved the day. He had bought an Xbox 360 (the original white) and brought his Xbox and all his old games over for us to have. That move sparked something I love the most in games. Yep here it is. Halo. I had actually started Halo 2 first because my uncle couldn't find his Halo CE copy. Of course I loved it. A lot. It's me and Halo. I played 2, and then got CE from a friend at school (borrowed). Then my uncle found his copy and so on. Of course Halo wasn't the only games we had. There was more Tomb Raider, my brother found Forza 3, I rage quit on Morrowind cause I stole a staff from a house and died (derp). Good memories. Sadly, I wanted more Halo. I played CE and 2 enough to know everything about them. Enemies, vehicles, I was quoting the cutscenes. I wanted more. Needless to say, I was finally able to play Halo 3. Unfortunately, it was in Kentucky when we stayed at my cousin's house for my grandpa's funeral. I played it the merely to keep my mind off things at the time. Insert random I got a DS Lite and Pokemon SS here. Another Christmas came, and my brother and I opened another box. (Also a flatscreen for the living room from my uncle when he bought a 3D TV) And it was the sleek black Xbox 360 with a game bundle with Skyrim, Halo Reach, Forza 4, and others. This has gone on too long as is, so short ending. Played Halo Reach, aquired all Halo games and all matching soundtracks. Skyrim stuff. multiplayer with my bro. Insert I got DSi XL because Lite broke here. Pokemon black 1 and 2. Laptop for Graduation. random gaming blah blah blah, hope for 3DS and Pokemon X this Christmas. blablablab Too much typing. fingers hurt. I know we won't be on this site forever, I can't, with life digging into my shoulder, trying to kick up my music career, my game idea, and other things, and it will hurt to let it go, but I don't plan on doing that any time soon. I will make the most of this site in the time I have with it, with you guys.Thanks for being here, Ben. I've had fun, I'm having fun, and I will continue to have fun with you around. Feels all around. I can't continue any more. Sore hands. The End. Edit: GOOD GAWD #WALLOFTEXT #GREATWALLOFCHINA WOW SUCH WALL SO TEXT!
