Forever a noob

Growing up tragically deprived of video games until somewhere around the age of 10, I have the unshakable feeling that I missed out on some essential skillset that I’ll never be able to fully make up for. Additionally, the intermittent exposure I had to gaming up to that point narrowed my enthusiasm for the genre to such a degree that I had no clue what I was missing out on.
It all started with Sonic the Hedgehog. I don’t remember why, or how, but but my first real encounter with console gaming was the original Sonic on the Genesis. If it had happened to be Mario, my retro gaming ineptitude might not exist as it does today. Alas, fate caught me in its insidious web.
