Growing up as an only child for the first 7 years of my life, my mother&#8217;s youngest brother &#8211; my uncle &#8211; was just a few years older than me and was like the older brother I didn&#8217;t have (years later, he would be responsible for my love for the Resident Evil series). The first video game system I ever played on was an Atari 2600. Every year following with the evolution and introduction of new game systems, I have been in love with playing them. From Pac-Man and Asteroids to Final Fantasy and Call of Duty, I&#8217;m into a wide array of genre of games &#8211; survival horror, first-person shooter, action\/adventure, RPGs and puzzle games. I still own almost every system I&#8217;ve grown up with: PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX ONE X, NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Switch, and I also game on PC.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitch.tv\/MsAnnieCruz\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><b>FOLLOW ME ON TWITCH HERE<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2429\" src=\"http:\/\/memoirsofthedamned.com\/ramblings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Fallout.jpg\" alt=\"Fallout\" width=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memoirsofthedamned.com\/ramblings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Fallout.jpg 768w, https:\/\/memoirsofthedamned.com\/ramblings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Fallout-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><b>Games I have streamed on Twitch<\/b>:<br \/>\nAmong Us<br \/>\nAnimal Crossing<br \/>\nCall of Duty MW and Cold War (+ zombies)<br \/>\nCyberpunk 2077<br \/>\nDead by Daylight<br \/>\nFall Guys<br \/>\nFortnite<br \/>\nMarvel Rivals<br \/>\nOverwatch<br \/>\nPhasmophobia<br \/>\nResident Evil VII in VR<br \/>\nWorld War Z<\/p>\n<p><b>Games currently backlogged:<\/b><br \/>\nGhost of Tsushima<br \/>\nFinal Fantasy VII remake<\/p>\n<p><b>Recently beat on stream:<\/b><br \/>\nLast of Us Part II<br \/>\nResident Evil 3 (PC)<br \/>\nResident Evil 2<\/p>\n<p><b>Some of my favorite games (alphabetically):<\/b><br \/>\nArc Raiders<br \/>\nBatman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City<br \/>\nBayonetta<br \/>\nBioshock series (Infinite was AMAZING)<br \/>\nCall of Duty<br \/>\nDead by Daylight<br \/>\nDevil May Cry<br \/>\nFallout 3<br \/>\nFinal Fantasy (VII, X)<br \/>\nGears of War<br \/>\nGod of War<br \/>\nLeft 4 Dead<br \/>\nMarvel Rivals<br \/>\nMarvel Ultimate Alliance<br \/>\nMarvel vs Capcom 2<br \/>\nMortal Kombat vs DC Universe<br \/>\nResident Evil (RE2, Code Veronica, RE4, RE7)<br \/>\nSilent Hill<br \/>\nSuper Puzzle Fighter<br \/>\nTomb Raider<\/p>\n<p>Because I had to restart my blog site from scratch, it&#8217;s going to take some time for me to add the missing elements from my old blog back onto this one.
