I had been through four consoles and five jobs before most of the games in the notes had come out.
My top five were virtually chiselled on stone tablets by comparison :)
Baulders gate on ps2 was my introduction into RPG and a bonding experience with my aunts ex.
GTA 1 was my escape from an abusive house
Tony hawk kept me from getting picked on for my gaming choices
Smash bros had me bonding with my closest friends
NBA street helped me and my brother escape from our parents.
