To be honest, it just kind of happened. I remember falling head over heels for them, back then I had access to a couple of systems mainly GBA, N64 and PS1. As time progressed I just got more and more into them and then I knew that I wanted to create them, and then when I went to collage and then later university to do game development courses, my interest in how they were made skyrocketed. I am even interested in how speed runners break games on a technical level, not only that but I am fascinated about gaming history, the worlds the games take place in (mainly the lore), and the community that springs up around them(I know way too much about the fan creations from the tf2 community for example). So yeah, to say I play games nowadays is an understatement, I would say I know eat, sleep and breath video games.
