You know, I think that I may.

Place your thumb against the tip of your little finger. This is 1. Move down the fingers for 2 and 3. Repeat on the ring finger for 4, 5, and 6. The middle finger covers 7, 8, and 9 while the index finger covers 10, 11, and 12. On your other hand, place the tip of your thumb against the tip of your little finger. This is now 12. Moving down gives you 24 and 36 as the right hand continues. This is a pretty slick way to track data up to 144 occurrences without worrying about losing count, provided that you can hold your hands in the correct position.

Not in any specific order:

Final Fantasy Tactics (PS1) - the first game that I played into the hundreds of hours.

Tales of Destiny (PS1) - the first game that I played late into the night and had to stop playing because it was becoming a problem.

World of Warcraft - I played it from 2004 through 2025, but mmorpgs in general are fantastic and a wonderful creation. Currently, I am playing LotRO.

Final Fantasy Tactics (GBA) - I played this game every night for three years when I worked night shift ems. Hell, just mentioning it makes me want to spin up a fresh save file.

Final Fantasy (NES) - this game got me into party-based, turn-based role-playing games and that turned into a lifelong love of Dungeons and Dragons.

Thanks for causing me to pause and reflect.

The House Party no longer exists. It is one of the great cultural losses.

Why did you post this twice? /s

Much like the Amish.
