* I'm old enough to remember when my cousin got an Atari 2600 with blocky little sprites bouncing back and forth on the screen.

* The only tournaments were my cousin and me throwing down on Tennis, which usually ended with me in a headlock whether I won or lost.

* Fast forward to college and the biggest tournaments were me and my roommates getting stoned and going to the local Kwik-E Mart to fight it out in notorious quarter-guzzlers like Street Fighter II or X-Men Children of the Atom.
