Halo: Combat Evolved. I'm 22 now and was 9 when the game came out I believe. I played it for years and joined leagues, managed clans and stuff and would play for fake internet points (but people who remained at the top for awhile actually would get prizes). I think there was a trial league called HaloTL where I had around 3 accounts on and all of them were within the top 20 or so players out of thousands. It was my first experience of competitive video games. I remember waking up early on Sundays to play in online tournaments, and even being a part of 2 different clans (one under an alias) who had to face eachother in the tournament. Lots of fun.

Yahoo Pool: Yeah man, I mean it. My Lobby was "Masse" in Yahoo Pool. There were leagues and shit in this game and I used to use auto typers to manage tournaments. I once again used aliases in the league I was in, and was at 1 point #1 on my main account and #5 on my alias. Not really that hard, but I basically used to run the table off the break around 50% of the time, and there were only ever a maximum of about 2 turns for each player. It helped me actually learn angles well for real pool which is why I can win money off my coworkers in it lol.

Halo 3: I was never competitive in it, but I used to boost accounts in the Team Doubles playlist to 50 with a friend for Microsoft Points. I peaked at Rank 48 in MLG (which was damn hard if anyone else remembers the Halo 3 MLG playlist). I remember I was on Back to Back Anoj's Top 10s (Episode 22 and 23 I think) at one point for clips I hit in this game. I always wanted to make a kickass montage but never got around to it, mostly cause I sucked at video editing at this time.

Gears of War 1+2+3: I wasn't good at it, (i mean i had a good kill death of course, but I literally was friends with people who were on pro teams so I consider myself crap) but I was apparently really damn good at editing montages of it. I got a huge following and had people continually wanting to pay me for me to edit their montage videos. I think collectively my montages have around 75,000 views. If you search "gow celebrity" on youtube you'll probably come across a ton of my stuff, but I'm not gonna post it here. At one point I was helping manage the youtube channel Gearsopedia which is probably still one of the biggest names when it comes to Gears of War content. Everything I learned in editing was self-taught and has helped me secure my very generous paying job today that by school standards I'm nowhere near qualified for.
