I found this old photo recently of me playing Doom when I was 3. You can't actually see the monitor that well, but I'm sure it's Doom based on where my hands were positioned on the keyboard. I didn't play other games that way. Thought it was pretty cool, and here I am 16 years later.

I love Doom a lot, so... as a teen, I introduced my siblings. My bro was playing Doom since 5 :D I was playing with him on Doom Legacy on a split screen. He grew up to be better in competitive then me (which isn't hard from the other hand), was trying to make his own maps, and spent a lot of time fine-tuning mods for Doom 3. Then, he got a better computer...
And then, he discovered Valve games...
Knowing the community, I'm glad he's far from Zandro though, lol :D
My sisters... the eldest one feels sick from playing, so she stopped (I played hundreds of split-screen deathmatches with her on hipafrag before :/), and the youngest, well, I gave her Chex Quest.

Started playing Doom at the age of 3. And then Starcraft, etc. All the games I played at the age of 4-5 were games that Dad was playing aswell. And now, I am a competitive guy in doom, pretty good at strategy games and puzzle games.

First started at the age of 2, i remember watching my older brothers playing Ultimate Doom, they first let me play through E3M8 (DIS) which was the first map i beaten, though the sequence afterwards gave me nightmares for many years in my early childhood.
Despite that, i've been hooked on Doom since.
