1.) How many years have you been playing video games?
Since 2002... Long time actually.
2.) How many game systems have you ever owned and what were they?
PC, Xbox 360, PSP
3.) How many games do you own? Give a rough estimate if you don't feel like counting.
About 30 in boxes and about 70 bought on Steam like things.
Total: So yeah about 100 games bought legally.
4.) How many of these games have you actually beat? (Rough estimate again)
All of them, hell yeah!
5.) What was your favorite genre when you first started, about halfway through, and what's your favorite now?
Actually first game I played was a Racing one (Midnigh Racing), then I moved to TPP and FPS and later on RTS. I don't like RPGs and Adventure.
6.) What do you think of modern games and gamers compared to how it was when you first started? Are you ever amazed at how much things have changed? Or do you feel some other emotion (like rage) instead?
I don't know, maybe before games were more entertaining? They were giving people a pressure of logical thinking, caring about everything that was happening on screen and experience the story line like you would be there instead. Of course such games exist nowadays, but it's not the same... unfortunately, now all we get is (indeed) amazing audio-visual experience and not really good story (if any actually).
7.) Name your five favorite games, any genre, any year, any gen, any system.
1. Max Payne (TPP, pretty old, PC)
2. Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven (PC)
3. STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl (FPP, PC)
4. F.E.A.R. (FPP, PC)
5. Real War (RTS, PC)
