Hello Everyone!
For starters, my name is Michael and I first got into PC Gaming playing the original CounterStrike. My very first computer was an eMachines desktop(yes, the picture above is what it looked like with the big CRT and everything) that was bought by my parents to be used by my brother and I. At first, I just used the computer to go onto www.gamefaqs.com to look up guides and cheat codes for the Playstation 1 games I had been playing. I remember when I was in 7th grade, I went over to my friends house with a couple of my other friends. When we got there, my friends would take turns playing CounterStrike and I had no idea what this game was. Even though I was just watching, I could feel the excitement playing the game and I asked my friends how I could get the game. After I bought the game and installed it on my desktop, I started to spend hours and hours each day playing CounterStrike with my friends online. Luckily, no one else in my family was interested in using the computer so essentially it had become mine to use.
