Your Favorite Day of Gaming...

[Gutsman]

Another memorable day was when one of my co-workers wanted to challenge me in Command and Conquer. I usually beat him when we play, but one day he just went crazy and demanded I keep playing him until he beats me. So I played him about 5 times in a row and beat him everytime, then finally in frustration he screamed "FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU" at the top of his lungs, it was the loudest I've ever heard anyone scream. I just laughed my head off. I guess I was just too good at that game or he really sucked.

Hrm..... I am not sure what "the day" would be, but here are a few contenders...

» The first time I played my uncle's 2600. I was around 5 years old. I fell in love with a home console for the first time

» When I first got my SMS on my 11th birthday in 1986. I remember playing Transbot, World Grand Prix, Hang-On, Safari Hunt.... good times.

» For some reason, I have a really wonderful memory of playing Landstalker all day and all night on New Year's Eve the year it came out (I had gotten if for Xmas that year).

» The day Sega CD came out.. it was something so special at the time.

» Finishing Rez for the first time last winter... it was the middle of the night. I had been playing a lot... and I had a really heavy heart because of unrelated personal issues. Something about the game made me feel "ok"....

Those are just a few favourite days.

Ah, Landstalker was the shit. No matter how hard I would try, I couldn't put the game down. I couldn't afford it when it came out so I sold a guitar effects processor that cost me like $400. I had to have that game. I bought it, and the 6 button Genny controller at the same time. What a great day.

May 95 the day I walked into Toys R Us and saw that the Saturn was there 3 months early I called my dad and asked him for a loan. I bought it and Panzer and went home and played all night long.Virtua Fighter may have been glitchy as all hell but my friends and I didn't care we were playing Virtua Fighter at home and Panzer was just the end all be all game for me at the time.

March 4, 2000,

While everyone was camped out at every mall and game shop for 10+ hours waiting for their PS2, I met my girlfriend and she gave me a bag with mine in it. I just had to tease the high school kids with it and even took a pic. I know, it was silly as fuck, but it was better than being amongst the many who were moping for weeks before the next shipment arrive.

2 moments come to mind in particular:


-A goldeneye comp we held at our house

-Staying up all night playing SFA3, unlocking almost everything.

A few moments come to mind

Christmas Morning when I got Legend of Zelda:OOT I played that game 8 hours straight without food, water, or bathroom usage the game just sucked me in.

9/11/02 While it was the one year after 9/11 our school gave us the day so we went off and had a 16 player Halo party the whole day complete with pizza and unlimited soda

And the first day we got our Counter Strike LAN server set up in our Computer Science class it was a momentous occasion considering that from that day on our class played Counter Strike every day for 5 months.

9/9/99. Being 15 at the time, it was the first console that I saved up for with my own money and was able to buy at launch. Sonic Adventure and Power Stone consumed my day.

On a side note, the first DC is picked up was defeted. There was audio but no video, I had to pick up another. Realizing my Dreamcast was defective after waiting in line for an hour was probably my worst momment in gaming.
