Please Cindy, say the whole name each time. 
I played the demo that came with PC Gamer Magazine in 1998, and I was immediately convinced that it was worth buying, so I did.

I was 12 years old at the time.

Honestly, I think I was around 10 or 11 when I first played Dink, which would have been back in like 2003/04. It may have even been earlier but I don't really remember. I think it spawned from my brother who had PC gamer or something and he put the game onto the computer at the time for me to play. Obviously, it left an impression on me since I hunted down guides and mods and stuff and I eventually stumbled onto this wonderful site in 2005.

I regret nothing, and everything at the same time.

Edit: Slightly unrelated, but I just dug up my first post on TDN, and it was me announcing I was trying to work on the first incarnation of "Dink and the Bonca" back in April 2005. I was 12. My god was I a douchey little kid back then.

Edit 2: While my first post was in 2005, I actually have posted reviews for D-mods from mid 2004. My early years here were not good.

Skorn shared one of your deleted posts from 2005 with me DinkKiller. I think it's topic title was called recess and you talked about playing a clarinet or something.

anyways, I don't think I played dink for the first time until 2010, or 2011.

Must have been some time after 2007 for me, I think... Could have been in '08 I suppose.

I played the demo from a magazine in 1998, got the freeware version from the same magazine in 2000, and I've been hanging around since then. Which doesn't make me younger

I don't even remember Skorn being around back then. Or anyone specific really. I was a dumb kid who knew nothing about the internet. I've tried forgetting about my early days here, and I had mostly succeeded until this topic came up. I'm just glad I've become a useful member of TDN since then.

If everyone could just forget about my early years here, that would be greeeeat. M'kay?

You feed the madness, and it feeds on you. 
I think it was sometime in 2002 the first time I played Dink.
