Favorite Games

My top 5 favorite games would be:
1: Nier Automata
2: The Last of Us
3: Final Fantasy 15
4: Overwatch (well, debateable right now but I have loved the game and played it since it's beta days so I can't let it go)
5: Mortal Kombat 11

Favorite Console

My favorite console of all time would be the Playstation 2, I mean do I even have to explain? lol

That era of gaming was just at it's peak! Not only were games meant to resonate with the players but also harbor creativity, back then game devs would also try to experiment in ways not possible nowadays.

The console not only had the most sales ever in console history but also had the biggest library of games ever, some of which still hold great upto this date!  And who can forget the amazing start up sound! :D 

Proudest Gaming Achievement

I have participated in multiple gaming tournaments throughout my life and I have won many too, I also trophy hunt on PlayStation and currently hold close to a hundred platinum trophies (100+ by the end of this year), but my biggest and proudest gaming achievement would be to rank in Overwatch as a GM/Top500 player for many, many seasons!
