Well, one day i was on our families computer watching a video about how to build something with lego's and i saw this video in the related videos, i had to click it looked awsome. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzaLRjayeY4 ) then i immediately googled Blockland, found the website. O probably only played the demo for a few minutes and then purchased the game. You guys then led me to steam. I wanted to save money when buying games in the long run. So i just bought the Valve Complete pack.
I couldn't play half of the games decently. So i eventually bought a new computer, and now here i am.

[Madmitten]

inherited my dads old ass windows 90 from my dad at 2.
played educational games up until 6 years old, then i bought a 1000 games on one CD disc.
only about 200 of them worked, and only about 20 of them i played.
played a doom-esque FPS with smiley faces and chewtoys as enemies.
played a nice cool game called moon buggy

THEN i got a ps1 with toy story 2 on it and rocket power and stuff.

then at age 11 i got internet, downloaded some demos of spongebob squarepants games on nick, then went to cartoon network and played games, then went to disney and started playing disney games and later disney mmos. then went back to nick and played that nick mmo.
then found roblox and played the hell out of it, then as i grew up i realized how stupid everyone was.
I was looking around for something like roblox but better, typed in free online lego game(assuming to find something like lego universe) and found blockland at the peak of v8

I got my first computer when I was really young. Maybe 3. It was this lovely Mac my mom didn't use anymore. It was a very bulky machine. It was super slow. It had a floral pattern on the sides. I did nothing on the internet, I only drew on Paint on it.

I continued to use this computer. We had only one other computer in the house, but it was my mom's computer. She had everything on that. Just recently, she's selling it's parts on Craigslist. So all I could do in my childhood was play outside and watch TV. Around this time I was collecting Pokemon cards.

When my brother turned 7 however, things would change. My brother wanted a gamecube for Christmas. My mom just bought the first thing that had Game in it's name. She bought us a Game Boy.

We became obsessed with it. My brother probably played with it the most. When the Pokemon games came out, I got my share of the game boy. Sadly, I would lost this lovely handheld in a funeral home. I also lost my female Blaziken and all of my other Pokemon. I worked so hard to collect cool looking Spidna.

Then my brother turned 8. He got a Gamecube for his birthday. Along with it, he bought a memory card and Sonic Heroes. I remember watching him play it. We only had one controller at the time. It eventually broke and my mom let us buy two wireless controllers. I still use it to this day.

My brother continued to buy video games. He had a small collection going along. He never did complete many of them. I remember hearing as a kid scream in frustration as he kept dying in Super Mario Sunshine.

When my brother had his communion, my mom decided it was time for a new computer. My mom took us to Comp USA (They died in the recession :c ) and got us...A Mac. So, we now had three computers in the house, and only one of them wasn't slow as poop.

I don't remember much about being on it, but I do recall joining Club Penguin when I was ten. It was as fun as stuff and I enjoyed every bit of it.

When my brother turned ten, he was looking around on Youtube. He saw an old Vanilla Blockland video. He eventually found the site and downloaded it demo. I liked to watch him play. Sometimes we fought over who got to play. Eventually, this drove my mom nuts so she bought us a key.

Around Christmas of that year, I got my laptop. I nearly screamed. I had my own computer that I didn't have to fight over. The first thing I did was play on Club Penguin and announce that I had a new laptop. I was such a newbie back then.

I downloaded the beta from Blockland so I didn't have to fight on the computer. But then my mom started to hog the mac so my brother started to hog my laptop. I really hated it.

Soon, my mom bought us another key since my brother couldn't stand sharing it with me. My brother let me have the old key. When he looks back at it, he regrets trading his 1k ID for a 3k ID he would lose.

I became Nikki, a nickname my friend gave me. I loved building on it and I tried my very best. My brother became good at eventing. Blockland helped branch out my interests now.

I found out the Sims though a Blockland video. It was in the related videos section and I wanted to play it. I did get Sims 3 as soon as it came out.

When I was 12, I was watching my brother scroll around on a forum. I never really found any good forums to begin with, so I just watched him. I later typed the address on my laptop. I had found the Blockland Forums. I instantly joined, not very sure that I would stay here for long.

Well, It's been more than a year. I think I'm staying :o

TL;DR Brother brought me video games

[Rainbow]

I was first brought to runescape by my older brother, at which time I was 9. playing on from there he got me WoW when I was 10.
Getting bored of WoW, He allowed me to play half life 2 and counter strike source when i was 11 (<-- oh god).

When I was 12 I ruined my childhood by clicking a research link. fml.

Also when I was 12 I played spore, Till the point that it was unbearable to play anymore, I took the forum user's name "Didzo" and moved to roblox

13, playing roblox because it was fun, I got banned because I became a furry.

14, Found blockland, Changed name to: Didzy, to HeartOfSorrow, To Rainbow

The end

My intrest in computers started when we got a crappy, bulky, Windows Version 3.1 Dell computer when I was 6. It only had one account on it so we had to share it. Only my dad had a laptop, it was his work computers (at that time he worked with NASA, he works with Bodymedia now).

The computer malfunctioned so we had to get a new one. This one was a newer windows but he screen was messed up. So before our trip to Maryland, we got a better screen at a yard sale.

We used that screen until I was 9 when the computer died. We got a newer one that has Windows Vista Basic on it. It is one of those flat screen computers.

When we had the old computer, I never went on the internet, I only played on CD-Roms that my Mom and Dad got me. So I explored the wonders of the internet.

I found Club Penguin when I was 10 and I thought it was cool. I had a paid account on CP for another year when I got bored of it. I found Toon Town Online and I played on it for a while. When I was on a website called yoyogames.com, I found a program called "Game Maker" that let you make games. I learned how to write a little code.

I found "Blockland" on the yoyogames.com website as an add, so I decided to check it out. I downloaded the demo and I thought it was very cool. I bought a 13k key. Me and my brother fought over it until he and my sister got new computers. I learned much from blockland, and I heard of the forums on a server.

So I joined the forums as deadpossom (I forgot to capitalize the d and p). My in-game username is DeadPossom, a name I just thought up. But when I first joined, I had tried many usernames, but they sucked. I learned how to build very well, and I hope to get better.

I learned about steam from you guys, and when one of my friends nagged me, I finally got a steam. I have only bought HL2, but I am saving money to buy more. I have $83.75 saved so far. I also learned about the console from you guys, and I am a beginner in that too.

My first game was Rayman: The Great Escape for the N64, which I got for Christmas around 10 years ago. Played that until Super Mario 64,then Donkey Kong 64, then Mario Kart 64. So many games... Then I found the Game Cube, and discovered Super Smash Brothers Melee and never played anything else for a very long time, other than Mario Kart Double Dash. I didn't start the computer until Battlefield 1942 around my Melee days, when I though I was an top of the world. Then, out of nowhere, Battlefield 2. Oooh I was excited! I played that forever, THEN I found the sandbox mod, and played that for a bit. Then I entered a sort of "Don't know what to do" phase, then the Wii came out, and with it, the really long wait for Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Dang... That was the most excited I had ever been, and the game was two years away. Memory blank for about a year. THIS is where I found Blockland. The great Blockland... I knew what to expect, sort of, from Battlefield 2 Sandbox. I grew, matured and discovered so many other games, like Company of Heroes, Minecraft, and Halo 3.

Before that, Brawl finally came out, and here's an awesome story of my first time playing... About an hour to midnight at the local GameStop, I played Brawl  in a tournament, and I was owning with the Wii remote and Nunchuk. It was The Mushroom Kingdom stage, it was Fox vs. Pit. I got a smash-ball, used it, and fell into a ditch and died on my last life too... I was mad, but I had fun.

So here I am. The Forums unfortunatly introduced me to the horrors of the Internet. So yeah. Hi.

[yoyo007008]

SeventhSandwich got his first computer at age 5.

It was a white macbook :3.

I started playing Club Penguin, then after that Sherwood Dungeon, then to Adventure quest, then to WoW, then to Blockland, then to Steam games, now to here.

I'm almost the same,I played  Adventure quest then blockland then wow and then steam,

[Pengie]

I was four and hogging the TV, (this was when my family was pretty much broke, we later got my uncle's money after he died) so my brother plonked my infront of a computer with some barbie game my cousin left at our house. I played pokemon (don't remember which one) on my brother's gameboy, then zelda on his N64. I didn't really understand how to play these at the time, so I played on the computer instead. Then we got more money, and bought more computers, and better ones too. So I was able to buy a few games with the leftover money from buying a new house by a few I mean like 50. No exaggeration. They were mostly crappy though, I played them and and piled them on my desk, bought more, repeat.

I then played some Dynasty Warriors game on my brother's PS2. Around this time my mum got snappy because I didn't act like a "normal" girl. However my dad encouraged my interest in computers. He taught me what they teach in ICT lessons in secondary school when I was about 7. So now I call anyone who doesn't know how to use a computer a handicap. Meaning most people I know.

I must say if I listened to my mum I'd be the sort of handicap that prefers to brush her hair instead of playing a computer, or shopping for clothes instead of shopping for computer parts or games.

I'm also a Nintendocigarette now.

[Corbiere]

Discovered a computer at about 2 1/2 (I have old family video to prove it) and watched in amazement as BBC Basic became the best thing since the wheel and made loads of colours fly about on the screen.

Don't remember much from then on until...

I used to be addicted to Transport Tycoon, so spent hours on it...many good hours. Then came my first taste of internet horrors, when my dad decided to put a block on my PC to stop me playing it every day except Sunday...I was sad for weeks and was too young to know about "uninstalling". Besides, this was Windows 98...everything sucks.

Many games passed, none online. I remember playing things like Nukezone (Text Based online game - holy crap awful) and getting amused by that for hours, but then in 2004 I heard a couple of friends talking about this awesome game where they had just bought 1000 bronze arrows and I thought "WOW!". Got home, went on it and did the tutorial. Dad came up and complained that the router was flashing too much (Lol...I was using the internet...it does that stupid!) and I got addicted. A couple of years passed on this game (RuneScape if you hadn't guessed) and I got banned for account sharing...sad again. Went from game to game finding SilkRoad Online, Endless, and at one point MapleStory, Sherwood Forest for a bit, Club Penguin, Adventure Quest and a load of other crap and then eventually getting RuneScape again in October 2006 and playing it until about July 2007 when I "accidently" spent £72 on membership over a lot of months without permission on our home phone. Got banned from RuneScape forever and parents got Madasafish internet with parental control. Gaming blocked. Found out dad's password.

Got Blockland in late 2007-early 2008 and played the demo for a few months before buying. Endless fun from Mid-2008 to the present.

Meanwhile, madasafish "broke" when I deleted the files from my user area and my dad couldn't work out what went wrong. Decided that it no longer was avaliable from the provider. Obstacle removed.

Windows 7 came and CyberSentinal. Causes everything to be blocked under research even these forums (gah!). All games work browser based but big downloads get blocked. Blockland updates get blocked...

And so here I am...Blockland forum regular, avid internet user and gamer and all because of some stupid tutorial on RuneScape :-) which I still play to this day.
The story continues still.
In the last 6 months I have started playing Minecraft, got steam two weeks ago after a load of difficulties and everything's great...almost.
If only I didn't have these damn restrictions from invincible cybersentinal.

There's no story... Go ask the Quarian if you want stories.

I've always been easily amused and quite creative. When I was 10 I first started getting into somewhat of a community. I started off by searching "Free game maker" and such, until i stumbled upon Challengeyou.com, around May 2008. then around June 2008 I found an add that looked cool. So i clicked it and was all "Mommy, i gotta have it PLEASEEE" so i got it the first 15 mins I found it. I got into the game and a year later i joined the community,

[Dominator]

My dad introduced me to computers when I was about 2-3 and he basically turned me into a gamer. He then got me a computer to share with my sister (we were poor back then  ) when I was like 6 and it was a crappy computer that could only play games up to about Quake 2 (did I mention we were poor back then?  ). Then my dad hired a couple of builders, moved a few rooms around, converted the attic to 2 rooms (one of them is mine  ). My dad then bought me a 6 year old HP which is what I'm using to type this up now. I've had about 3 upgrades for it:

RAM: 512mb - 1024mb
Graphics Card: Nvidia 5200 - Nvidia 5700
Power Wattage: 300w - 350w - 400w

So here I am.

I was born as a savior from planet now Goldi but america destroyed my family and sent me here.

[canto xe]

I Used to be into video games since PS 1 around 4-5 Years old, the first game i EVER played on PS 1 Was Digimon. Digimon was a very addicting game and i could spend, DAYS on it playing.


Then many games followed till my "Step-Dad" gifted me my first PC, the first game i ever played was Need for Speed first version ever i think, then i played many games like 1st) Club penguin, then Runescape, Disney Toon Town online, And many others. Then some years after i found out Roblox, i toyd with it some time and then i heard people saying: "Blockland sucks" And i went at the site and from the first see i loved it.


Then i spent some weeks playing the demo till i had the guts to ask for the first time a game, from my dad.
My dad was like: "Sure!", and then he bought me the game.

Also i discovered Blockland forums by:

I Found some add-ons at some servers and i was like "Omgz where can i finds them?", yeah go ahead laugh, then some person i think, Barnabas - Bushido told me i should go at this site.

And here i am! Ohai.
