I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play ‘backed up’ games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.

I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.

    Mostly computer parts. Growing up, my father bought the family a computer (an 8088 Turbo XT. See my awesome 4Mhz power!) and in what can only be described as clinical insanity, he let me loose on it. Of course I discovered computer games and was hooked ever since. It also led me to a life working on computers, so that part of his plan worked. Thanks to that computer, I now have a comfortable income. And while my computer isn’t on the bleeding edge of performance, I do keep it fairly modern. Last year I was having frame rate issues in some games and upgraded to a RTX 3080. Just recently, my wife’s computer was having low frames so we bought her an RTX 4070 Super. The games have come a long way from Starflight on that old 8088, but the kid inside of me who fell in love with video games is still happy to play them.
