How I became TheFourthWasp

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Good day to you all. I am TheFourthWasp, though on most games, I go as WaspIV.
I'm a life-long gamer, having started with the old classics, such as Battlezone, Wolfenstein, Civilization, Red Baron, Doom and last, but certainly not least, the Age Of Empires series.

I live in Wisconsin with my beautiful wife, and two lovely daughters. But I am, however, a southerner at heart, and by birth.
I was born in the year 1992 in Georgia. My family moved to Missouri when I was 5, and there I stayed until I turned 21. A few days after my 21st birthday, I moved to CO, where I spent a year and a half before finally moving to WI.

My love of gaming began when I was 6 or 7, when my dad first let me play Battlezone. I then quickly moved on to Wolfenstein and Civilization. Red Baron and Age of Empires came next, and I was playing Doom by the time I was 13.
I've played many games since, as evidenced by the 150+ games in my Steam library, but I still think these games are some of the best in the industry.

The story of my gamertag is actually rather boring. It was my first introduction to console gaming, and I had to pick a gamertag for my Halo 2 profile. However, my brother, who was introducing me to the game, insisted I could not have an actual word (weird, right?). Being somewhat unimaginative, I chose to use Stingerst after seeing the Wasp icon. This did not work well, as two of my other brothers, also being introduced to the game, chose to use Estarster and Singestr.
These tags all looked alike at a quick glance, and it was confusing to all of us who were playing. So, being allowed to change my gamertag, I chose Wasp, then added an IV to make it more "cool".
I finally became TheFourthWasp when I decided I wanted to set up a youtube channel.

My intentions here on Steemit is to review games I have played, share gaming related news I have heard, or in the future (when my internet is better) even post some gameplay videos.
