RIP Ex Smash
I was thinking about this earlier and thought it was an interesting idea.
If you don't wanna read all of it, I don't blame you. I added cliffs at the bottom for each story.
Back when I had my Xbox, I would play Gears of War or COD Black Ops almost every weekend night from 7 P.M-1 or 2 A.M depending on how it went. However this is absolutely nothing compared to my childhood.
Two major instances come immediately to mind, so I'll go in chronological order.
1). (This happened when I was 4-5 years old) I had just gotten my first ever "real" video game disk from my uncle and it was called Centipede. Now I know what you're all thinking, that I must be talking about the old school arcade game that everyone used to play in the mall or local pizza joint, but no. This was an obscure remake made by Atari and had most likely never sold over 10,000 units. But because I was a silly child none of this mattered to me, and I commenced to play my very own video game with the attempt of beating it. But once again, I was only a silly child and my brain and body could hardly keep up with the motor skill requirements of shooting with a PC mouse. Luckily my sister, 2.5 years my senior, saw me failing miserably and also took a genuine interest in the game. So with her higher level of motor skills, she took the front seat and did the job I could never do.
We played for countless hours almost everyday and my sister eventually got quite good at it, I would always be at her side cheering her on, like that one little brother from "Jurassic Park" who cheered his sister on as she hacked the computers to lock the doors and stuff. Eventually, we reached a boss-fight that was beyond fucking insanity and took us over 3 days and 18 child-hours to complete. Finally my sister pulled through and we advanced on to the next level, however our victory was short lived as our centipede disk promptly decided to Explode In Our Computer. Even when we tried to explain this to my dad, he was absolutely mind fucked to how simple children could use a disk so much that it could explode, and unfortunately that was the tragic ending to my first owned video game

*First Ever video game: "Centipede(1998)
*I suck balls at it since I'm only 4 or 5
*My sister is older and takes pity on me, and decides to play
*We play alot
*We play so much, the game disk explodes in our PC

The second story, isn't as exciting but is still pretty impressive
2)When I was around 8-10, I bought "1080 Avalanche", for my gamecube. The game truly did suck, but since I was a kid I had to make due with whatever I got. Now the impressive part of this story is that I never owned a memory card for my gamecube when I had this game. So every time I played it I tried to see how far I could get, but I would always find a time when someone would interrupt me and my time would be over. But one day, both my parents and my sister were out to some bull-shit party and I decided to stay at home and try to finish the game. I started from the beginning and lasted about 14-15 hours before I finally beat the game. At that particular time I didn't know that you had to have a memory card while playing on the Ps2 or Gamecube so I just thought like "Cool, I beat the game". It was only until 2 months later when my friends told me that I was supposed to use a memory card. For 3 weeks, people at school saw me as a god for being able to complete games without memory cards, it was pretty cool while it lasted.

*I'm like 8 and have a gamecube but no memory card
*I buy the game "1080 Avalanche"
*One day, I'm completely free and beat the game in 14 hours
*2 months later, my friends tell me that memory cards exist

So yeah, you guys don't have to write the wall of china. But I'd like to hear of your impressive gaming feats
