I got introduced to video games
in the eighties when my brother got a Commodore
64 for Christmas. Back then this computer was
like ZOMG AWESOME! I loved playing my brother's
games.
The Dark Dimension, Gianna Sisters, Wizball...
Yeah, Wizball, probably the most weird game I
have ever played in my entire life, but it is
absolutely addictive. I wish they'd remake it.
I really enjoyed watching my brother play the
Duke Nukem games as well as the Resident Evil
series and Final Fantasy VII, those were some
of the most awesome times
in
my childhood.
In the same way I learned about Silent Hill; I
watched my brother playing the first game before
I ever layed hand on the games myself, but I was
completely in awe over the story, atmosphere and
of course the eeriness of the game.
Since I always was fascinated by abandonedplaces
as well as horror and supernatural stories, Silent
Hill seemed just perfect to me, especially after
playing Silent Hill 2, which so far is my favorite
installment.
Being a cosplayer since 2000, I then started cosplaying
characters from this game series as well, which
lead me to meeting Creativeguy on a cosplay website
in early 2005.
We married in March 2006 and I eventually immigrated
to the USA in October 2007.
We love working on projects together; Silent Hill
related or not. Still Silent Hill is one of our
greatest interests, after all this was what brought
us together.
Of
course Silent Hill is not my only interest when
it comes to videogames. My other big love is Final
Fantasy, especially Final Fantasy VII. Aside from
that I like the Kingdom Hearts, Breath of Fire,
Tomb Raider and Resident Evil series as well as
some other videogames. I don't own a whole lot
of different games, I rather replay my games just
like watching a movie over and over or reading
your favorite book every once in a while.
It
is similar with cosplaying, I don't have too many
costumes because I only like cosplaying characters
that I really like. Making a costume just because
it looks good has never been of interest to me,
but there are a few Silent Hill project that I
am planning on finishing in the future.
