Video games are art. Gaming is a unique form of entertainment. Nothing can immerse someone quite like a video game. It's my passion, my hobby, and my addiction. And that will never change.

It all started with NES games like Adventure Island, Aladdin, and Mario on a SEGA Mega Drive-looking Famiclone, Terminator I think was the model name, when I was just a kid. It continued with games like Hercules, Prehistorik, and The Lost Vikings on my first PC running Windows 95 or 98 at the time. Later, during the Windows XP era, some of the first games I played were Dune 2000, Red Alert 2, and Doom.

My little hobby eventually evolved into a big passion, and somehow, it turned into an addiction when I started playing Counter-Strike. It was a huge addiction with many Steam accounts and thousands of hours spent on CS. Even when I got my hands on a PS2 and enjoyed games like Soulcalibur III, it couldn't rid me of my obsession for CS. Nor did the other two games I played extensively at different times, 9Dragons and Warcraft III. I got a PSP, which did manage to give me a brief break from CS, thanks to games like Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines, but only temporarily.

Over time, I replaced one addiction with another: Dota 2. Two Steam accounts and around 5k hours in the game. The game that eventually pulled me away from Dota 2 was World of Warcraft. That became my third major addiction, but if there's one I have no regrets about, it's WoW (not that I regret the time spent in the others either).

Thousands of hours later in WoW, what ultimately changed me and made me no longer focus solely on one game was Batman: The Telltale Series (R.I.P. old Telltale), thanks to a YouTuber who was doing Let's Plays (Cryaotic). When I realized how much fun there is in completing games, it completely changed the way I viewed video games. With that change came the creation of the Steam account I now use.

Today, I play a variety of games, both old favorites and new discoveries. But what I truly enjoy now is experiencing amazing stories and fully completing games. For me, that's the best part of gaming, the immersion in story-driven games and the satisfaction of completing a game or unlocking its achievements.
