I was gaming by around 1999 but I never really got into PC gaming because I thought working out system requirements was intimidating

Bought some Half Life christmas pack that came with HL Source, HL2 and Episode 1 and got sucked into steam. I remember bumping my graphics up in HL2 Deathmatch to medium, upping my resolution to 1920x1080 and being AMAZED at this crisp new game I was playing, probably in silky smooth 20fps
