Hi everyone, my name is Paul Reyes and I am a recovering video game addict, I started playing video games when I was five and haven't had a controller very far from me since. When I was fifteen my mom lost control of herself and tried to kill herself along with me, and although I gave her the forgiveness she deserved, I used Halo as my coping method. Because of this I knew that Halo prop making was for me. You see, to me there is nothing cooler that sitting in my room with a Spartan helmet on while talking smack and taking names on Xbox live. No I’m not a pale nerd who wants to sit in his room all day, I actually have a life and a girlfriend who I adore, this is just another way for me to deal with reality and come to terms with myself.
