    Games. For many of us, much of our childhood consisted of three things: Being an annoying shitkid, searching ''boobies'' on Google, and of course, playing video games. But what game or games was it that defined your childhood? What game(s) is it that you remember playing the most and having the most fun with? Write it/them up and explain fam.

    For me, it was Runescape. And what a f---ing game it was. I was a huge console gamer aswell, but this web browser based legandary game held my attention for years. I was bad at it, I created hundreds of account, I never got a 99 skill or a party hat, but I had so much fun with it. And the great thing is, I can still play it today and there's still a huge Old School RS community that's extremely active. I'm thinking of creating a new account and buying membership soon.

    So, what game defined your childhood?

    Did you ever play this game? I remember having my friends give this game to me on a floppy disk so that I could play this at home. :')
    God I loved this game. Probably the only Zelda game which I loved.

    Oh man. Used to love the Rayman games so much. Played the 2nd alot, and Rayman 3 even more. Sad to see how the series totally fell of with Raving Rabbids, I have no idea why'd they do that with such a great platforming series.

    i don't still live in wisconsin. but i lived there for about a decade. lived in menomonee falls, milwaukee and some other part that i can't recall right now.

    I THINK you had to be at least 18, but its been soooo long i could be mistaken. they've been doing the madden challenge for years. and as time passed, the amount of money you could win grew

    i've played madden for years. and during the ps2 era is when i was REALLY into it. that's also when i was at my best. i use to be able to take control of my safety and intercept the ball when someone would throw it deep. when you can MANUALLY take control of your player and bat the ball down or even better, intercept it, it really elevates your game. i'm not good at it anymore, but on ps2 i was great

    it was held at lambeau field in the atrium. here's how it worked: you had to pay a small fee to play in the tourney, but it was only like 10 bucks to get in. there were about 500 people who played in it that day and only 1 person could win.

    basically, they had all these ps2 stations set up throughout the atrium. some ppl had to wait to play, but the wait wasn't too long. it was single elimination and the quarters were only 3 minutes long because there were so many people playing. now i went to this event just because i like to play the game and i love to compete. winning the tourney never even crossed my mind.

    i used the vikings every game and eventually i got down to the last handful of people in the tournament. at the time, i didn't have a car, so i rode with my friend (who also played in it) up to the tourney. my friend got eliminated very early in the tourney, so he had to sit and watch me play for a looooong time, but he didn't mind because i was winning. this tourney started early in the morning, and we didn't start driving back to milwaukee until about 7 or 8pm that night. we were there all day. i beat about 12 or 13 opponents in a row to win the tourney. and when i won, i didn't show much emotion, so people thought something was wrong with me lol. i'm a very stoic person

    basically, 1 person won from each city. there were a total of 30 winners. 1 from each city. and all of these people (including me) won a FREE 3 day trip to las vegas to compete for 50 grand. now of course i didn't win the 50 grand, but just making it there was impressive--because only 30 people made it that far and LOTS of people tried
