1) Dogs through the windows in Resident Evil 1. That game made me realize I was a little bitch 6th grader with a squeaky voice that could be scared from a damn videogame.....I had nightmares about that game. Nothing like it when it came out. It was so fucked up.

2) Final Fantasy VII: Watching my brother boot up the game for the first time, and experiencing the beginning of the game/intro FMV - the train chugging along, cutting between shots of Aeris and Midgar with that classic music blaring

3) Beating Donkey Kong Country on SNES - such an amazing game!

4) Silent Hill 3 - playing the entire game. One of my fondest memories in college is sitting around me and my brother's old 27" JVC with him and my friends and us getting the living SHIT scared out of us from a videogame.....

5) Metal Gear Solid - realizing that a gaming developer had finally created a game that transcended videogames and catapulted itself into an entire life-changing experience.....

6) Getting 2,000,000 points on the Garibaldi track in SSX Tricky

7) My first time seeing Halo for Xbox being played at the GameStop at the mall - I couldn't believe any console would ever have that good of graphics, I simply couldn't believe how insane those graphics were

8) Playing Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers for NES before my parents were divorced - this game reminds me of my childhood and how weird/grungy things were for a while

9) The intro FMV to Final Fantasy VIII - you have to admit: Square can make some FMVs. I still get goosebumps when I watch it (even though the graphics, even in the FMV, suck now)

10) Witnessing how massive and compelling Chrono Trigger was for SNES - nothing like it was around when it came out. Time travel, the best music out of any videogame ever made, the whole package - realizing this game was a reality is one of my favorite moments in gaming

11) Halo LAN parties - we used to have 8 or 10 friends over at my friend's house, and we would system-link 4 XBoxes and 4 TVs together to have "each team in a different room of the house" capture the flag tournaments - can anyone say 4-hour Sidewinder matches? I realized at that point that videogames weren't just a nerdy pastime; 8 of your closest friends could get together and become functional military units that worked together to accomplish goals

12) My favorite moment(s) in gaming is more of an experience rather than a specific game; one of my old friends used to hold LAN parties in his basement for about 3-4 years straight, and attending those LANs was the coolest experience in the world - seeing 30 computers strung together into a LAN with file transfers, LED fans oscillating, BF1942 games going, it was just amazing - we would stay up for DAYS without going to bed - playing Battlefield, Alien vs. Predator 2, the leaked Doom 3 demo, so much more. So much fun.
