Hello, I am a Gamer
Thursday, June 6th, 2013
I have been “gaming” in one form or another since childhood. Somewhere around my 8th birthday, my dad took my brothers and I to his place and let us play his new Pong system. It was the most amazing thing we’d ever seen. Then came our ColecoVision, which introduced us to Donkey Kong played over the TV. Then the multiple Atari 400 systems we received from Santa guaranteed my life-long obsession. Allowing me to lose myself to alternate realities of countless digital games.
Fast forward to 2013. Yes, I am still at it, much to the chagrin of my wife. After so many years and hours of glorious playtime, I have decided to profess my addiction with vehicle graffiti.
I have a few favorite games of all time. Of them all, I confess the Half-Life and Portal series by Valve have together successfully consumed well over a hundred hours of my life.
I now have my Half-life and Aperture Science logo stickers proudly displayed on my old-but-still-running 1995 Pathfinder XL.
The package from my Amazon order…
The beloved hazardous materials, Half-life logo…
Aperture Science corporate logo…
The final product…
That is all.
