I have been coming to Gamespot for about 12 or so years now but used the forums a couple of years ago for the first time.I have been gaming since the Atari 2600 at the tender age of oh, about 5 years old I suppose. The first game I played was Pong at a Chuck E. Cheeses. The first PC I had was the TRS-80 from Radio Shack. Now that was a PC! Ha! I also recently built a new PC (Oct. 2005)....I am in heaven! Newly upgraded to a Quad-Core!! (Intel Q6600) (February 2008) (Upgraded the GPU to an Ati 4890 from an nvidia 8800GT June 2009)
