Look Around

Video games are a fascinating medium. They have an infinite range of possibility and resource; and have defined childhoods, lives and careers.

This page aims to be a place for me to reflect on, and track my journey with video games. I hope for this page to continue to grow, the more time I dedicate to trying any and all games!

I will try my best to play it.
Blogging About Video Games
My online alias is Joyboy. I'm 20 years old, and I like video games.

My earliest console was a Nintendo Wii when I was a kid, bought second-hand. I used to rent video games from Blockbuster, back when both Blockbuster and renting games was a thing.

After that, I had a Nintendo DS and a Nintendo 2DS. I currently have a Switch Lite.

I prefer PC gaming. I've only really owned Nintendo consoles.
The game I played the most in the beginning was Super Mario Bros 3. The second-hand Wii we purchased came with a copy of Super Mario Bros 3 pre-installed by the previous owner. The only issue with the game was it wouldn't save your progress, so I'd try to beat the game in full after school in a couple hours before my game would be reset.

The farthest I'd ever get with that time limit was World 7. Normally using the World 2 flute warp whistle.

When I started renting Wii games from Blockbuster, my favorite was Super Mario Galaxy. Since it was a rentable game, I started my first playthrough near the end of the game on a save file left by a previous player. It's been one of my favorite games ever since.

I ended up buying my own copy. I still have the box, disc, player book and receipt. This is the same for my Super Mario Galaxy 2 copy, and my Super Paper Mario copy as well.
Some other games I loved growing up were; Animal Crossing: City Folk, Pokemon Black & White, Minecraft, Kirby Super Star Ultra, League Of Legends, and many more.

I still try to keep up with LOL ESports, and T1 has been my favorite team since 2013. T1 fighting!

Nowadays I play anything that piques my interest. I frequently still play League of Legends, occasionally Valorant, and a lot of steam games. I still regularly replay my childhood favorites at least once a year.
