Meet Acidnine, an avid gamer who has been playing video games since childhood. Acidnine's love for gaming began when he was first introduced to Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness in 1996. He became an instant fan of classic games like Command and Conquer and Super Mario 64. His gaming interests evolved as he discovered the FPS genre and with money made from AllAdvantage (browser ad plugin) he bought Half-Life and immediately downloaded Counter-Strike 1.1b and the rest is history.
