Technology and Me From 1993-2013

The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

Apr 11, 1996

In 1985 the NES launched in North America along with the game Super Mario Bros. which although I wasn't born till april 1993 I played this game when I was around 3 years old on my dads console he gave to me. This was my first console and game.

Sega Genesis

May 11, 1996

The Sega Genesis came out in 1989 for North America and was the second game console I played. Most notable times were playing sonic with my dad when he was not deployed.

Super NES

May 12, 1996

The super NES released in 1991 for North America. It introduced enhanced graphics and sound capabilities to the previous NES. I played this around the same time as the Sega Genesis becasue my dad was sorting out things in the storage and stumbled across most of his game consoles in his military bags.

Nintendo 64

Sep 30, 1996

I got the Nintendo 64 when it came out along with the game Super Mario 64. This game in my opinion is truelly legendary in that I played it when I was 3 years old and I have replayed this game so many times over the years. My most recent time playing this game was in 2012 before I moved to Hawaii. This game system was also the first system which wasn't handed down to me from my dad.

PlayStation

Dec 25, 1998

I got this for a Christmas gift from my parents. I was 5 and was finally getting into games a bit more seriously becasue I could play them on my own. I don't really recall many games that I played on the playstation though because I had an accident when I was 13 that has somewhat blurred what I can remember.

Gameboy color

Dec 25, 1999

This was my first Gameboy and first handheld game console ever. I remember I got it as a Christams gift from my Aunt who lives here in Hawaii and I was living in Texas at the time. My Gameboy was a special edition Pokemon Gameboy and my Aunt sent me Pokemon Yellow version and Red version. Its sort of funny but I don't know of too many events in my whole life that got me as happy as that day.

Playstation 2

Dec 25, 2000

The most memorable times of playing my Playstation 2 were when I was playing Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X. I love this console because of its excellent 1 player RPG games. I got this around Christmas time and remember playing for hours on end.

Gameboy Advance

Jun 11, 2001

This was the second Gameboy I owned. This was also a handheld game console like the Gameboy Color. This version of the Gameboy had a built in screen lighting. I fell in love with games like Fire Emblem and Advanced Wars which were strategy RPG games with turn based fights. I also played Pokemon titles on this Gameboy as well.

Gamecube

Nov 18, 2001

I got this system as an early Christmas gift from my parents.when it released. This game console was amazing for its multi-player gaming. The most played gaame by far on this system for my friends and I was Super Smash Bros. Melee. This was the game for parties of friends chilling and having fun.

Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos

Jul 3, 2002

This was the computer game that started my PC gaming addiction. This was a real time strategy fantasy game. It had single player campaign play and a battle.net online custom made map game feature. This gave the game both lore depth and online endless play. This lore is also the basis for my later addiction to WoW the future MMO-RPG game Blizzard Entertainment would release.

Xbox

Nov 1, 2002

The Xbox changed the way I gamed for ever basically.Although I had an Xbox when it was realeased in Novemeber 2001 I put November 2002 down becasue that is the month that Xbox live was launched. I instantly got addicted to the online competition of Halo 2. From this point onward I almost exclusively played online games. I only played offline for specific titles like Final Fantasy games,Pokemon, Super Smash Bros., etc. Basically played online unless playing part of a major franchise.

Warcrft 3: The Frozen Throne

Jul 1, 2003

This was the awesome expansion to Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos. I was just as crazy about the expansion as I was the original release of Reign of Chaos. This game built on more lore to the original game and was a bit mroe difficult. This game expansion is what kept me playing WoW when Blizzard came out with the WoW expansion called Wrath of the Lich King.

World of Warcraft

Nov 23, 2004

This is my most played game of all time. I have been playing some version of this game for 8 years now and still play it today. This game has had 4 expansions to the origenal release. The expansions each included content such as dungions, raids, and PvP appeal. The lore form Warcraft 3 heavily influenced this massive multiplayer online game as well as the warcraft novels. There is so much to this game but simply said I was and still am addicted to this game 8 years after its release.

Xbox 360

Nov 22, 2005

This console was the next generation of Xbox. The most played games on this sytem were Halo 3 and Gears of War for me. I actually played professionally in Gears of War through online tournaments and so forth. I played Halo 3 with a majority of my friends though at parties or sleep overs.

LG Voyager

Nov 18, 2007

This was my first touch screen oriented phone. It was touch screen on the outside face and when you were texting or surfing the web you could type on a keyboard which opened from the side of the phone. This phone taught me how to type fast and at times even how to type without looking at the phone.

Droid X

Jul 3, 2010

This was my 3rd phone but my first all touch screen phone. This phone got me used to using touch screen and surfing the web for my everyday questions. This was my phone throughout High School.

Iphone 5

Jun 1, 2013

This is my first Iphone and I got it very recently before my summer vacation trip(s). This is the phone I intend to use for most of my college experience. I like the apps and fast 4G connection to the web. I use Facebook, Twitch, and Youtube apps the most on this phone.
