I can pinpoint the exact date I became interested in pinball: 11/22/13. I am (was) an avid PC video game player and I saw Humble Bundle's Zen Studios Pinball FX bundle one day. I decided to try the demo, liked it, and bought bundle. Pretty quickly I dropped all other video games and starting playing virtual pinball exclusively. After a year of Pinball FX and Pinball Arcade I finally took the plunge to get a real pin.
