Without saying they took up all the space, video games were part of my youth. There was a Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in the living room, then in my bedroom, which I used when I had nothing else to do. I had a Game Boy Color with the famous Pokemon Blue game. Otherwise, my friends and cousins have had various consoles that have created memorable moments for us all.
I was first introduced to multiplayer games on the Internet (2002) at the age of 12, when I played Medal of Honor Allied Assault. My parents bought our first PC. I created my first clan, the [QC], which recruited a dozen members. So I lived through the evolution of groups of friends wearing the same tag to become clans in their own right. The good old days when having a clan was almost mandatory to have a website and a forum to survive more than a few months.
The very first structured clan I created was called the RCD around 2004-2005. We had weekly practices, strategies, and regular “scrims” against other clans. It eventually merged with the Patriotes du Québec (LPQ). It was there that I first participated (2007) in a sugar shack with people I’d never met in real life. This experience would remain engraved in my memory for a long time, and would prove decisive many years later.
I changed names several times, but at the time I was mainly known by the nickname LightPaladinQc. It was under this name that I took part in my first LAN ETS in 2007, competing in Call of Duty 2.
