pokemon was the first game i ever played and i still love it. thanks nintendo.
playcrafter was the first truly online game I ever played
playcrafter was what got me into programming. i actually made a featured game on the website when i was 9. i think it was called bridge builder or something. you had to construct bridges to complete levels.
runescape made me love mmos even if i dont really play them. roblox i guess made me like development more.
creating servers on minecraft introduced me to the design aspect of games also i have several thousand hours on that game and its kinda stupid. i was on some building team for a little while and actually got paid to build stuff. blockland introduced me to actually making some things. tf2 was my first shooter and i enjoyed it for a while. i know an ex-admin for UGC who created the 4v4 tournament format if anyone knows about that. we're good friends.
its because of all of this that im actively persuing game development both as a hobby and in the future as a career so i guess games have had a massive influence on me.
