Heard of it, not sure if I'll ever use it. I already have Steam games piling up that I need to play. Although, there is one game that if they have, I'll almost definitely get it: Do they have Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds? (The RTS game). Another great game lost to the passage of time, I'm afraid.
I think I started years ago with a super old version of Prince of Persia when I was in elementary school! Then throughout the years, I casually played on PC, games likes Tomb Raider (with the butler in the freezer and the dinosaur at one point!! ), and on some friends' consoles (Sonic and Streets of Rage on SEGA, Resident Evil 4 & some James Bond game on GameCube, some Street Fighter, a bit of Playstation here and there). That was so long ago, I cannot remember how old I was!
In 2008, I got Half Life, on Steam and that's when I became some kind of nerd.

I managed to get my Banjo Tooie cartridge, though. I bought the game (and its prequel) again over the Xbox 360 Arcade, but I still have my N64 version, basically as a souvenir of my childhood.

I guess the only answer I can give to this is "being born". My mom and dad were both playtesters for Chainmail and the original Dungeons and Dragons pen-and-paper games, and my dad was a senior software engineer for DEC. Put the two together, and I was kinda destined to become a computer gamer...
That's awesome. I suppose you didn't have much of a choice in your destiny, did you? Did you get to hear anything about your parents' impressions of the current games they were playtesting?
