Cliche and boring, but video games.

My first foray into anything tangentially related to programming. Was figuring what the cryptic text files left on my desktop by RuneScape were (JVM stack dumps)

The next few years I really wanted to learn to make games. Interestingly, I never made any games, not really learned the programming languages I set out to, but I did learn the basics of programming, along with a ton of topical knowledge that has managed to be useless, but fun for talking about.
