If you PC game, where did you first start?

back in 2012 i saw my friends playing gmod, i played with them, we had a lot of fun... 100 hours into the game i became more familiar with the game(and also fixed the pink and black textures) then i went onto a mode called darkrp i dident really know what it was but 300 hours in i was already staff on a server, 600 hours in i became better and better and knew most of the things about gmod, 1000 hours in i knew everything and was just learning lua and how to develop a server and i came across a site called gmodstore, 1400 hours in i knew how to develop and started my own server which became very popular it was a hard journey but i made it :D
