Story
Gaming History
How games became part of the identity.
Gaming has been a core part of my life for as long as I can remember. It shaped how I think about creativity, community, and building things online. From early console days to PC modding, competitive multiplayer to story-driven epics - games have always been more than just entertainment. They're where I found my people, learned to solve problems, and built the identity that became ChrisNorcras.
Late 1990s – Early 2000s
The Early Days
It started with consoles - NES, SNES, GameBoy, Genesis, N64, GBA, PlayStations 1 and 2, Xbox, GameCube, Xbox 360, and eventually the Wii. These were the games that built the foundation: Zelda, Mario, Crash Bandicoot, Halo. I didn't just play them - I studied them, replayed them, and talked about them endlessly. Gaming went from a hobby to a core part of who I was. I had other online usernames, but ChrisNorcras was born in this era.
Mid 2000s – Early 2010s
The PC Era
Moving to PC changed everything. I had a PC before now, but with dial-up internet your options were browser-based games and Runescape (which I still enjoyed). Minecraft, modding communities, Tibia and other MMORPGs, and eventually Steam became my world. This is where I discovered the intersection of gaming and building - creating servers, modding games, and participating in communities that felt like home. The ChrisNorcras name became more proliferate, spreading across various online platforms and communities.
Early 2010s – Late 2010s
Community & Multiplayer
This era was defined by community. Running Minecraft servers, joining Discord groups, streaming on Twitch, and building spaces where people could play together. Gaming became less about individual experiences and more about shared ones. I met some of my closest friends through gaming during this time, and the communities I was part of were a huge influence on how I think about online spaces and social dynamics.
2020s – Present
The Modern Era
Today, gaming is woven into everything I do. I play a wide range of titles across platforms, from indie gems to massive open-world adventures. I still run community servers, still mod games, and still find new experiences that surprise me. Gaming informs my creative work, my worldbuilding, and the tools I build. It's not just a hobby - it's part of the identity. I also became a part of the DeadlyFam Christian gaming community, which has been a meaningful space for connecting faith and gaming.
