Gaming History
It all began with a present from his aunt and uncle at 10 years old. That Atari 2600 would be the foundation for the next 25 years of gaming that included everything from a Timex Sinclair, Commodore 64 and an early Mac to the current obsession with a MacGyvered PC and an Xbox 360. While Shawn wasn't into the Ultima Online or EverQuest scene at the very beginning, he was there for the MUDs and BBSes with his 900 baud modem ready for battle.
