Facebook and Twitter don't get that pleasure. I only deal that out to friends I actually talk to.
So I'd post them on here. Not there though.
Probably like most people probably in this whole board, I started gaming when I was young. Around 3 year I had my NES and loved it. Honestly, it turned into a sort of crutch growing up. My parents were very often busy with work. My mom had a simple 9 to 5, and my pops was just always out of town doing district manager-like stuff. So not getting any sort of bonding with my parents, I just began locking myself up in my room just to play video games. This was kinda bad because Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy scared the living daylights out of me. D:!
Early on, this put me WAY ahead of the academic scale. I learned 5th and 6th grade math in 2nd grade. Then video games was the reason that also diminished cause then I found out what a REAL game is, not these number bull****s.
Regardless, I, obviously, became a huge introvert, and it eventually affected my grades. Parents took my games away like good parents should, and I worked harder just for the sake of getting them back. It was quite the tug-of-war!
Also, I began RPing for the longest time... 
Still, I had to fill the social void in some way, shape or form... ...
...**** that I'm still embarrassed and ashamed about it!
So eventually I saw DDR at an arcade/restaurant, Holoworld (lasted a whole 6 months!) and my mom bought the home version. She knew I needed the exercise, horribly (Exhibit A: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b135/Ryyudo/BigBoys.jpg .
) Unknowingly, this turned out to be my first, and longest running competitive game. I only got first once (and this was in a "people who stopped playing" tournament. And there's lolvideo proof) and second and third a handful of times. Still, some people I met form playing DDR, Tony<33333333, BlueThunder, SexyMike, CrazyJ, are ones who got me actually INTO fighting games. Originally Smash Melee, which eventually lead to other games, and meeting new people.Tony though DDR. Tim and Mikez0r through Jump Ultimate Stars. I think I first saw Ferdi at a SmashFest, be it Brawl or Melee. The rest of y'all was through Brawl though, IIRC. Mystikz beating LoVo, me beating Chap, I think it was, at the first in-home Brawl tournament where everyone began dropping like flies. My Ike was a beast, you know!
ast.Fun fact: I always thought Tim was a super serious because I only talked to him online at the time, and he doesn't use many smilies. That or he just hated me major. It wasn't until I met him that I found out Tim was a super cool fella who didn't afraid of anything, except non-lols.
And that's my crazy story!
