It was random weekend in the summer of 2017 when I realized how awesome online multiplayer gaming could be. Not more than a week later, I found out how truly awful it could also be. Both events changed my gaming habits forever. How I got to this place... I've been a long time console gamer. My first experience with gaming came in the form of an old hand-me-down Coleco Telstar system, hooked up to the RF adapter on my parents' Cadillac-sized television back in the early-80's. Playing several different versions of what was essentially Pong had me hooked. I loved that thing. Fast forward through several Nintendo systems, Atari, Gameboys, and the original Playstation, I ended up on Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
