Now, say the title 10 times, fast. Anyway, to the topic.
A while back, I wrote this on omgmygame when we where attempting to start a coup trying to put the site together (http://www.omgmygame.com/node/19). In the small article I wrote about "The Advantages and Disadvantages of Sibling Gaming" (ironically enough that was the title). After rereading the article, I realized that having a brother has greatly affected games I can and cannot enjoy. Often the first thing I'll test out in a game, is it's multiplayer, because as a kid that is what was most important to me and my brother, how we could both share the game and play together. This probably explains my purchasing of all the Call of Duty games (post four) because the game has become "the" 1st person shooter to play online among me and my friends.
This got me wondering, do any fellow EoFFers think they can think back to their first experiences with video games and possibly reason out why they love the games the love now? Or perhaps explain other gaming habits?
