The Legend of Grizz

Ok...maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, calling my story "legend" (Ahead of myself...for now).

The story of Grizzly Gaming begins many years ago...in a decade affectionately known as The 80's. No, I won't be recounting the story of my birth because frankly, that'd be a little weird and awkward for all of us. No, this story will be about a much more important event in my life. An event so life changing that it's affected everything I've done since and relates to everything I am now. This, my friends, is the story of the first video game I ever played.

Back at the tender age of 3 (I might've been 4...who knows. I mean, I don't. That was a hella long time ago. But hey...it's my story and I'll tell it how I want). Anyway...back then, I was your average little kid. My parents worked, my little sister was just born, and I played all sorts of sports like baseball and soccer (You know, all the mandatory sports you play when you're a kid). But at Christmas time of that fateful year, I recieved a present that changed the way I led my life. That year, I was lucky enough to get a Nintendo Entertainment System. Little did I know that that little, gray box of fun would start to mold me into the powerhouse of gaming mastery that is Grizz.

Once my Dad set up that Nintendo, I was hooked. I played every game I got, inside and out. I begged my parents to take me to the video store to rent new, different games. Games like "Mega Man 2", "Bionic Commando", "Operation Wolf", and of course "Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt" kept my firmly parked in front of my TV. And once I found out a newer gaming system was released (The Sega Genesis), I could barely contain my pure elation.

Since then, I've been playing all sorts of different console games, handheld games, and PC games and dominating them all.

But how where did the awesome nickname "Grizz" come from? Well kids, thats a story for another time. So tune in next time for the second part of however many parts I feel like making. Same bat time...same bat channel.
