Introduction

My gaming experience isnt very experienced. As a kid I was more focused on playing with barbie's and baby dolls, but when my cousins came around with what I think was the original Nintendo with Super Mario bros. I would want to play so bad id cry until they gave in and let me play. I would play for about 30 min. and get bored and go do something else. Until the next time they came around at least. The next time i was interested in any game was when i was about seven and got the Play Station for christmas. When i first recieved the Play Station i played daily once my homework was done, until my partents would make me put it away. As time time passed and it started to warm up outside my attention started to shift, i started to focus more on going outside playing basketball out in the drive way swimming in the pool, and playing with friends, and less attention on the Game. It sat there collecting dust except for on the occasional rainy day until i was about ten. At that point i went over to a friends hows where he was playing Crash Bandicoot, and we sat there for hours playing, it came to the point where i desided that i NEEDED one for my Play Station. When i got my copy i played for weeks stright until my attention once again shifted. This time my attention shifter from the game to sports. From that time on my attention stayed concentrated mainly on sports and school except for the occasional playing of games. But for the most part i concentrated on what ever sport or sports ing depending on the season (Swimming, Hockey and Basketball, Track and Fiels). Even to this day im more conccentrated on other thing besides video games like school, family, basketball, and friends. although my focus is else where i do still enjoy playing some games, mainly the Wii. Video games have played the substitute roll in my life. When i could not participate in the activities i enjoyed the most I focused my attention on them (when the weather was bad, when I was injured or even when i could just not find anything else to do.)
