The official "How did you get into Gaming Topic"

I'd get a shareware game, and play the living hell out of it. All difficulty settings, options, try to get all secrets, etc. Rarely I'd get the full version, and repeat the process.

Now whenever I play a game, I feel pushed to finish it quickly so I can move on to the over a hundred games I own which I haven't played or barely played. And forget trying to get all the achievements!
