What made gaming special to you?

[VNRob]

I'd always been something of a gamer since I was a little kid but honestly, for years I didn't view it as anything really special. I played games a lot and it was as natural playing with an action figure or something. One of my favorite games was Majora's Mask, which if you don't know is a very dark, story-driven game. A little kid doesn't really think about the story so I missed out on a lot there. I later revisited the game much older and realized just how deep and touching the story actually was, even though the impact was lessened since I literally knew everything by childhood memory. So I began to pursue more story-driven games and I ultimately came to view games as art and began to enjoy it as such. Basically an elevation from a base enjoyment of gaming to a deeper one.
