Passion in gaming?

@Koochi-QMy passion is sleeping followed by food... Gaming is around the third.. I'm to old to remember the story.. We are talking the original nintendo days, with the olympic game in which you ran on a pad.. Had duck hunt and other things.. Then came Super NES, oh Zelda was awesome, so was F-Zero.. Who can forget that bazooka thing they had for the Super NES? I always wanted that robot they had.. Next was the Sega Genesis.

Gaming really go out of control in 8th grade when the N64 dropped.. Golden Eye was king. But I also spent a lot of time playing the command and conquer, and other battle chess games on my computer.

Suddenly Microsoft comes out with the Xbox and it's all about Halo and a few other titles. Few years go by and Fable drops, I play the game non-stop without sleeping to finish it. Unfortunately about 3/4 of the way through my xbox dies and I lose all my progress.. It's also early december and xbox are sold out. So I use a sick day and drive 3+ hours to wait in line in freezing temperatures to get one of the 10 or so the gaming store had.. Only to wait for the UPS truck all day. Now while this going on, I'm also heavily addicted to Warcraft III ROC and the TFT expansion.. I'm satisfied with being in the top 100 on the ladder for 1vs1 in that game. I can't remember if I made it to top 10 or not.

I take a break from gaming and focus on work. 10+ years go by and I purchase an xbox again.. I'm here today.

The one thing I do collect are coins.. I have gold and silver roman coins dating back to about 50-70BC or so. I have US Coins from all different time periods.. Gold, Silver, Platinum and a few palladium coins. I used to collect baseball cards and sports memorabilia, but lost interest in it. I sold most of that but still have autographs from Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle and a few other baseball legends. Disney also has a lot of significance to me, my father took me there frequently as a kid. We would also go see all the Disney movies.. I purchased a few of the production animation cells from The Little Mermaid and The Mouse detective. These were the animation cells that were used in the movie. I have 4 production cells in all.
