This made me smile. I’m 17 and my younger sister is 8, and we are very close, in no small part thanks to video games. I remember playing LEGO Harry Potter with her when she was only around 5, and she was quite good for her age. She’s even better now, and she can beat me at Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros., albeit… Read more

I was the oldest child and my younger brother and I never got along.....with one exception, playing video games. We started with a NES and played stuff like Contra and Trojan (remember that game?) together. But Secret of Mana was the best experience. some of the best tiems of my childhood were playing that game.

I was one of those little brothers that accidentally saved over my brother’s saved game in Sword of Vermillion on the Sega Genesis after he just reached the last boss the previous night. Read more

Great story. Bend local here soooooo. GO DUCKS! Read more

I can so relate to this as well. My love for video games came straight from bonding with my brother over them as children. I am 28 now and he is 34. I remember how excited him and I were when we got our first playstation. We would go on to compete over who could play Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, and race for… Read more

Split-screen co-op saved my relationship with my brothers. Read more

I’m glad he didn’t make any that required you to play through the game a specific way, you can get platinum just by doing a neutral run. Read more

I couldn´t relate more to this article.... Read more

Without my brothers, I don’t know if I would ever have developed an interest in video games. For one, I wouldn’t have had anyone else to play with, and also because when I was younger, there weren’t many girls my age who were interested in video games. Read more

I was in college when the PS 2 came out.

So, yeah, that time is definitely coming. Just wait til you don’t understand the lingo anymore.

...the urge to shake your fist at the kids on your lawn will be strong that day, I assure you. ;)

This is such a great article, Chloe! I’m really glad that you took the time to interview me for this article. It definitely brought back a lot of good memories! Keep up the great work, sis! Read more

I’d go as far as to say that the advent of digital gaming was one my generation’s greatest shaping factors. Perhaps even yours as well, though ubiquitous internet access may have been even more of a powerful force in yours (I’m assuming you’re a good deal younger than I based on your recent graduation, and I apologize… Read more

It’s really nice to see an article like this; too often, though blogging promises “the human element,” it misses it in its rush to provide takes.

So, thanks for this.

It’s also kind of neat to see how the generation after mine experienced games. I grew up in the 80s and very early 90s, so I cut my teeth on the Atari… Read more

Huzzah! A reason to pull out my VITA other than “to play Persona 4 Golden”.

I think it’s safe to say that, relationships included, gaming shaped my life as it stands today. It’s what my father and I bonded over, it was the basis of pretty much every one of my lasting friendships, and it got me interested in technology at a very young age, vaulting me into a successful career in the industry.

Instead of throwing punches and pulling hair, we competed in Mario Kart. Read more

While it’s not quite the same, I have a brother 9 years older and people will say ‘oh, so you don’t REALLY have a brother’ to me all the time. It’s really funny to me because him and I are incredibly close! Read more
