In a very distant time, truly, I was told
I had a parasitic brain infection that the Amish knew how to cure with puppy dewormer.
Haha, just kidding, I did get told that one time
though. I don't know if it's true. Maybe I do, and maybe they do know how to help me
get rid of it.
Anyways, truthfully, growing up I never thought of video
games as anything more than just something fun to do on the occasion. Sometimes I'd
play with my sister and my cousin, sometimes I'd watch them play, sometimes I'd just
tell my sister she was being too loud and I was trying to sleep.
We'd all end up playing the same games, approximately.
PvZ Garden Warfare, FNAF, Undertale, old arcade Mortal Kombat games, Scott Pilgrim
vs. The World: The Game, LittleBigPlanet 2, Minecraft, Animal Jam, anything available
to us that could be played on a PS3 and a terrible laptop in the earlyish-mid 2010s.
Outside of actually playing, we would end up congregating
around the same people playing games online. Particularly CoryxKenshin and various random
GMod, Undertale, and FNAF videos.
Later on, I gained an interest in older Nintendo handhelds,
and I ended up playing many games outside of my era on a sweet Gameboy Advance SP. It was pink,
because REAL MEN WEAR PINK. I would watch videos of people taking various types of Gameboys
apart, and I would write really dumbed down notes, because I was 9.
I still have my collection of Gameboy and DS games, I don't think
I could ever part with it ... One summer, I believe right before highschool, I spent most of it
playing Resident Evil with my sister. Genuinely probably the only reason I like Resident Evil 6
so much, I think if I had played it alone I would agree with the masses.
Anyways, what I'm getting at is that: once I got older and played more
games, both alone and with others, more of the stories affected me in deeper ways, and I realized
a lot of the moments where I bonded with the people I love had some kind of loop back to video games.
Even now, a lot of my favorite memories with my friends and family were
moments where we were playing, talking about, or making art based off the games we both liked.
I just think video games are really unique as an art form in the way
the player interacts with them. It's almost an entire separate world, a ball of clay you can leave
your fingerprints in where so many others already have.
All the different kinds of artists that come together to create one
piece of art, or the pure will and talent of one developer, never fails to amaze me.
Simply, I just think being able to interact with a piece of art like
that is pretty cool, and I have many fond memories relating to video games. And so, that realization,
coupled with 14 year old me ripping Kris Deltarune up into small pieces and then putting them into a blender,
led us to here.
I hope my website makes you consider playing more games, or games you think
wouldn't be your taste. There's many cool stories and experiences awaiting you behind the screen,
dear reader!

and now, for a challenge... ---------what are my top 5 games of all time...?
I have too many favorites to contain to one list, and this top 5 will be missing ones from series I love dearly such as Metal Gear Solid,
Devil May Cry, Little Nightmares, Persona, Sonic, LittleBigPlanet, et cetera, et cetera. I suppose these are the favorite games that come to mind first when I think of
the word "video game." I also don't think these are ordered in any particular way, except the first two. The first two always need to be first.
