I've been playing games since the SNES, but I didn't really get into gaming until the N64 era. My fondest memories include playing the hell out of Perfect Dark, Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, and the guilty pleasures of Conkers Bad Fur Day (although my parents had no idea how obscene that game was). Personally, one of the reason I probably got into gaming in the first place was probably because I had little to no friends. Although I have friends that I love today, Video Games were my first step into a media escape.
RTS, Action and Adventure, RPG's, shooters not so much ( but I do enjoy them none the less)
Rock, Hip-Hop, Rap, Country, Techno, House, Alternative.....yeah, pretty much anything that gives a good or fun message.
