While I did play games every now and then, I never got into gaming until I my mom found a plastic bag full of DS games in an abandoned house when I was nine. I'll never forget playing NSMB, Mario Party DS, Mario Kart DS, and Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. I also started reading everything on the SSBB Dojo, and I then realized that there was so much more to gaming that just Mario and Sonic. I wanted to experience what else gaming had to offer, and that's how I got into the medium.
