Proudest Gaming Achievement
I placed in the top 3 ranks at a Pokemon VGC tournament. The competitive format for the Pokemon video game. Specifically, I was playing Pokemon Sword and Shield. It was my first tournament in this format. However, it only grew harder from there as I met more competitors in the space.
Favorite Games
Pokemon Heart Gold, is my favorite Pokemon game. I feel like it's a true sequel to Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow. The lore of its region of Johto is rich, and the box legendary for Gold, Ho-oh, is my favorite Pokemon of that generation.
Another one of my favorites games is Helldivers 2. I love how every moment can be like a cinematic piece of war footage.
Favorite Console
Xbox 360, has a lot of memories for me. I made a lot of friends through Xbox Live, most of whom I unfortunately no longer talk to. The Xbox 360 had an excellent library, I even pre-ordered Halo 3 for it before I even had the console. I miss how midnight releases would form for each major title. I remember people lining up or camping in front of GameStop in the early 2000s.
