I always want to play games since I was a kid, but don't have a console to play on. My Asian parents would never waste any money on something that's only going to distract me from school and studying.
So instead I just save up to buy PC games and play it on my parent's computer.
My childhood games are mostly masterpieces like Half-Life 2, F.E.A.R. and the first Onimusha. (All PC version of course)
After I graduate from elementary school my family got a Wii, because...you know, it's a Wii and every family had one.
That's when I got to play Resident Evil 4, and holy shit what a game it is.
I replayed the game like 30 to 40 times in that year alone, it was all that I cared about at the time. I'll draw guns, ammo and monsters during class, I'll design new levels & enemies & villians, coming up with fictions and new story, sometimes I even dreamt about the game. It was absolutely insane. For years it was everything to me.
Ever since then I become a heavy console gamer and harcore Japanese game lover.
