Well, as a baby.

My dad used to play Contra, and by "playing Contra", I mean putting a shoe on the fire button and letting me watch as one guy ran into the bullets and died, over and over and over and over...

I believe the first game I played was actually Super Mario 64, and I just got hooked on games since then.

I've been playing games since I was 3, I think that sums it up easily.

Yes, evil comes in many forms, whether it be a man-eating cow or Joseph Stalin, but you can't let the package hide the pudding! Evil is just plain bad! You don't cotton to it. You gotta smack it in the nose with the rolled-up newspaper of goodness! Bad dog! Bad dog!

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit!

Announcer: So tick... do you think you could destroy the earth?
Tick: E gads! I hope not! That's where I keep all my stuff!

"Pwangg?" Trees don't go "Pwangg--" Llamas don't go "Pwangg--" Nothing found in nature goes "Pwangg", which means -- we're officially hip deep in the smelly stuff.

You know what? &@#$ tacos. And waiting. Damn you, Bullseye...damn you for making me hurt the ones I love. This time, it's personal. This time...it's for the tacos.

You should talk. Your costume's so tight you can tell what religion you are. Ever hear of a cup?

AAAAAAAAGHHH!! Packing chips! That's the greatest weapon on the face of the planet -- styrofoam packing chips! Just imagine getting nailed by some of these babies! Oh the humanity!

Dude, I had to hack that off to save you from zombie germs. You should totally put me on your Christmas card list.

If you're not Black Cat, then I'm done. But first -- The Olsen Twins: Good? Evil? Or part of the elaborate C.I.A. plot?

Pardoneth me, fair lady, but dost thou have any Grey Poupon?

I wasn't referring to your age, just how you started playing video games at such a young age.

first time I saw a game was at my cousin's, they were playing Doom, Jetpack, stunts, etc... in DOS. never played myself though, just watched them. think it was around 1993

got a gameboy with when I was 8. it's the only console I broke XD.

bought my friend's SNES when I was 11, with 4 games, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario All Stars, Super Mario World and World League Basketball. My friend bought a N64.

in 2000, we finally got a PC with internet, and someone gave me Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.I had never heard of Zelda before XD. also had Pokemon blue. I didn't speak English back then. So I searched the internet for Dutch walkthroughs. those games were the first games with narrative I've played. and the start of my love for Videogames and Internet.

I used to play Super Smash Bros. at a friend. which got me looking for game information on the web. Found the SSBM website. the sole reason I bought a GameCube was just to play SSBM. I was 16 in 2003

Now that I think about it, I think the first game I ever got was Bugs life for the Gameboy color, then Pokemon.
I started playing smash bros at my cousins because of the Pokemon in it, and the characters in that made me get into other games.

Most nintendo games I played weren't mine, they were my cousins that I borrowed. Then I got a playstation so I could play digimon world and I went to a store store to get a rugrats game or something. The guy working there straight up said " The rugrats game sucks" So I got Spyro instead. Awesome.

I'd like to go and like, blow everyone's mind and say that Pokemon didn't get me into gaming, but I'd be lying.

Electrode has a height of 3'11" (1.2m) and a weight of 146.8 lbs. (66.6kg). Assuming that it has the shape of a perfect sphere, of which the diameter is its height, one can easily calculate its density as 73.6 kg/m3. As the density of water is 1000 kg/m3, Electrode should easily float on water, and carrying something as heavy as 838 kg (nearly 2000 lbs.) should also be possible. Despite this, it is incapable of learning Surf.

In this sentence there are sixteen words, eighty-one letters, one hyphen, four commas, and one period.
