At this point I had much more trophies on this second account (apprximately 30 platinums to 3,) and I came up with a new gaming alias anyways, so I changed the name of my second account. Long after I was well established with my newly made account, the name change feature finally released for PSN. Anyways, I made a new account and I also eventually had to get a new PS3 because the one I got on that Christmas failed to read game discs, meaning my completion of Sonic Generations is long gone. This might just be because the concept of my childhood seems like it went on for forever though.

Now that I’m reflecting on it, it seemed like I used that first account a lot longer than just 3 years. I used this account up until 2014, when I made a new account only because I didn’t like the name my dad gave me and I couldn’t handle the fact that it wasn’t capitalized. This was all on an old PSN account however, it was my very first one that my dad made for me when I tried accessing the online features of LittleBigPlanet 2. Eventually, I became more familiar with the trophy system, and in February of 2012, Sonic Generations became the first game that I platinumed. After being exposed to the vast gaming genres the PlayStation 3 withholds, I branched out into other games. My child mind was ecstatic at the thought of a story between classic and modern sonic, but I didn’t own any of the next generation systems that this game was released for. For a while, I genuinely thought this game was a collection game, but after watching countless YouTube videos on the game, I realised it was much more different. With the exception of my PS2, I had played anything Nintendo up until the announcement of Sonic Generations. Eventually, after unraveling everything and discovering the gifts that now belonged to him, excitement flowed within as he had gotten the two things he wanted most on that joyous holiday: A PS3 and a copy of Sonic Generationsīefore this time I had been a complete Nintendo fanboy, owning most of every major mario and sonic game, as those were the two video game characters I loved the most.

With an incredulous expression imprinted on his face, he gave in to his overzealous natural behavior and started unwrapping his presents, quietly however, so as to not awaken his parents. Stricken by curiosity, the young boy left his room to check the contents of the Christmas tree and was awestruck at the sight of the copious amounts of wrapped presents that said his name. His parents were still deep in slumber as the time had to be around 4 to 5am. Once upon a time a child woke up one Christmas early morning nearing the end of 2011.
