Dec. 25, 2011 marked my first time trying Steam and I've been hooked ever since. Some of the first games I played as a kid included the Reader Rabbit series (remember MS-DOS and Norton Commander?), Midnight Rescue, Sim City, the Sims, Age of Empires and onward. I have a particular affection for building games, not so much games that involve a great deal of fighting and killing (though Bethesda Games seem to be the exception). While I don't always have the time to play games (thanks to 'Real Life' commitments), I still try to make time now and then.
