It took me a long time to realize I was a geek.
My oldest memory ever was when I was three. When I would go over to my babysitters, her husband had an NES with the Legend of Zelda. He would leave it on and let me play it for about an hour every day. I never got anywhere in it, but I will always remember going down into that little hole and reading "Its Dangerous to Go Out There Alone. Take This. God I loved that game.
I was a Video Game geek for years after that, but I never heard of anime until I moved to vernon, which is also where I got my first taste of DnD. Then I picked up comic books after hearing about GL Rebirth.
Now before all this I was a PR fan just like all of my other friends, but again it wasnt until I moved to Vernon that I learned what it was based off of. From there I learned of Kamen Rider, and the rest they say is history.
Honestly though, I probably wouldnt be the way I am today if it hadnt been for my babysitters husband, being nice and letting a bored little kid play Zelda.
To this day I have played (and beaten) every Nintendo Zelda game made
