Its been a while since I blogged, but just now I was waxing lyric about Descendents and Bad Religion to someone who wanted some Punk to listen to. Now music and games are probably two of my biggest hobbies/passions.  
 
Now music I know I only became properly interested in my first year of uni, MUSE was the catalyst for that.  
 
Games on the other hand  I become really passionate about the year my brother bought me a Playstation (which was 96). Never has a grey box bought a boy so many hours of joy. I think the key to games becoming a major pass time was the fact that out of the 4 of us in my friendship group 3 had PS's and we spent ages around each others houses playing, swapping, talking about games and trying to out do each other in which ever game we were playing.  
 
So the Playstation was the catalyst, and the game that did it was the original society destroying crime sim... GTA.  
 
I blame my years of drug abuse, prostitute beating and OAP bothering on that game... 
 
So what about you guys when did you become a gamer?
