I once stumbled into my parent's computer room as a little 6 year old and saw my older brother playing Sim City 2000. That moment literally changed my life.

Before that, I had seen my parents on the computer, but they were always just emailing or faxing stuff. I thought computers were boring machines for adults to do paperwork on.

The day I saw my brother playing Sim City on the computer was the day I realized it could do something awesome.

That was well over 20 years ago, and I've been a PC gamer ever since.
