Gaming history: I fell in love with videogames playing Super Mario Bros. at my friend's house as a kid. We'd stay up late passing the controller back and forth. I worked at GameStop while in college, which solidified my love for all consoles, including the beloved but ill-fated Sega Dreamcast! These days I go between the Switch, Playstation, and PC trying to catch up on my long backlog of games :)
